ViralSweep is a 3rd party app that lets you run sweepstakes, contests, giveaways, competitions, and other engaging promotions. In this article, we explain how you can integrate your ViralSweep account with Omnisend and what benefits you'll gain.
Benefits
Sync new subscribers and the information they submit to ViralSweep.
Trigger Welcome automation (optional) or Segment-based workflow based on the submitted data.
Use the information you have collected to send more targeted communication to your customers.
Setup Process
Step 1. In Omnisend, go to → Apps → Search for ViralSweep → Click on Connect Now → Copy an API Key.
Step 2. When building your promotion in ViralSweep, go to the Integrations → Add Service.
Step 3. Select Omnisend and paste an API Key and connect. If you want, you can tag contacts that are synced from ViralSweep trigger welcome automations.
Step 5. In Omnisend, check the box that all the steps are done and confirm the changes.
That's it! Your ViralSweep account is connected to Omnisend.
Syncing Contacts and Their Data
When the integration with Omnisend is complete from the ViralSweep side, your entrants will be added to Omnisend almost immediately. However, apart from the email address, you may also collect the following data:
Field Name | Type |
First Name | string |
Last Name | string |
Email Address | identifier |
Address 1 | array of strings |
Address 2 | array of strings |
City | string |
State | string |
Postal Code | number |
Country | string |
Phone Number | identifier |
Birthday | date |
refer_link | custom property |
promo_id | custom property |
Tag | tag |
Keep in mind that to pass a phone number with a 'subscribed' subscription status, the SMS consent box must be checked. If your ViralSweep form doesn't have an SMS consent box at all or it's not checked by the customer, the phone will be passed with non-subscribed status.
Later, the information passed by ViralSweep can be used to target your communication and personalize the content of the messages.
