Social Sharing Activities

Share on Facebook

This activity is specifically designed to incentivize Facebook sharing. Points for this activity are granted when someone clicks on the shared Facebook URL.

In the admin console, you have the option to enable or disable the "Share Current Page URL" flag. Enabling this flag will keep the shared URL visible to the member.

Can the post be customized?

The post cannot be customized within Zinrelo. After every post up on FB, Facebook crawls the landing page where the post directs people to and picks up the content from that page automatically to display in the post.

So the post can still be customized by setting up appropriate tags on the respective landing page of your site.

<meta property="og:title" content="The Rock" />
<meta property="og:type" content="video.movie" />
<meta property="og:url" content="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117500/" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/rock.jpg" />

Follow on Instagram

You can define your business handle within Zinrelo. On the end-user dashboard, the members will see a "Follow" button, which will redirect them to the defined business page.
This is a one-time activity. After the follow button is clicked, the points are awarded to the member.

Unlike the Share on Facebook and Share on Pinterest activities, customers don't have to share from the loyalty dashboard; they can directly post on Twitter. The post has to be identified with a particular #hashtag.

You need to enter the Instagram username in the “Business Instagram Username” input box to follow the designated username. After adding the username, save the changes.

Please note: Facebook and Instagram do not allow third-party programs to pull information from their services. Thus it is not possible to check whether a member has actually followed your account on Instagram.

This means that members will not be rewarded for clicking the follow option on your official Instagram page but for clicking the Follow button in the Zinrelo End User Dashboard. This activity works on the honor system with your customers.

This is the best possible implementation available and that the downside risk is really low because (a) Users can only earn these points once and (b) Most users complete the follow action.

📘
Note:

For each sharing activity, points will be awarded only once, regardless of how many members click on the shared link. The focus is on rewarding the initial act of sharing rather than the subsequent clicks generated by others.

Zinrelo will deprecate the old “Follow on Instagram” activity by the end of June 2025. We encourage all customers to transition to the new version, which offers the below benefits:

📘
To ensure that your members are awarded points for their share activities (share on Facebook, share on Twitter and share on Pinterest), it is essential to integrate Zinrelo into the landing page for that sharing activity. Only through this integration, the share URL will function correctly, enabling members to receive their points.
