The contest option will prevent contacts from joining a campaign more than the allotted amount. This can be used to block multiple entries or prevent customers from trying to rejoin a campaign.
Step 1.
Edit the campaign and go into the Opt-In Management tab and turn this section ON.
Step 2.
Click the radio button to select Contest.
Note: A campaign cannot activate both contest and loyalty.
Step 3.
Use the available fields to set how many entries are allowed per person and how often they can enter. Enter a Max Reached Text Message that will go out to contacts that exceed the allowed entries.
Note: For example, select 1 entry in Forever OR 3 entries per day. Make sure to use end of calendar day to allow people to enter the next day. When # Days is selected, the system is programmed to wait exactly 24 hours before allowing the customer to re-enter.
Step 4.
Click the UPDATE button to save the settings.
