How the Vertical Response Integration Works

Connect Referral Rock to your VerticalResponse account

Set up the VerticalResponse integration in Referral Rock. Your Contact Lists become the audience for referral program promotion, no CSV exports or manual data transfers needed to get started.

Add personalized referral links to your Campaigns

Insert a One-Click-Access referral link into any VerticalResponse Campaign. Each Contact receives their own unique referral link. One click enrolls them in your referral program instantly, with no password or separate signup step.

Promote your referral program through Autoresponders

Add referral invites to your Autoresponder sequences so every new Contact automatically receives a referral program invite at the right moment, whether that's a welcome email, a post-purchase follow-up, or a re-engagement sequence.

Track which Campaigns drive the most referral program members

Referral Rock's dashboard shows you which VerticalResponse Campaigns and Autoresponders generated the most new members, shares, and referral conversions, so you know exactly where to focus your promotion efforts.

Launch your referral program to your VerticalResponse Contact Lists

Your Contact Lists are your most direct line to customers who already know and trust your brand, making them the ideal first audience for a referral program launch Campaign.

Send a kick-off Campaign with each Contact's unique referral link embedded. Every recipient gets a personalized invite without any manual list prep.
Contacts click once to join and start sharing immediately, with no account creation or friction standing in the way.
Segment your Contact Lists to prioritize your most engaged customers, the ones most likely to refer friends and family.

Automate referral invites with VerticalResponse Autoresponders

Autoresponders let you deliver referral program invites at exactly the right moment in the customer journey, without any manual effort after the initial setup.

Add a referral CTA with a personalized link to your welcome Autoresponder so every new Contact receives an invite the moment they join your list.
Include referral promotion in post-purchase or onboarding Autoresponders to reach customers when their satisfaction is highest.
Set up a re-engagement Autoresponder that reminds lapsed Contacts of their unused referral link and any available rewards.

Keep your referral program visible in every Campaign

A single launch email isn't enough to sustain referral growth. Adding consistent referral reminders to your ongoing Campaigns keeps your program top of mind without requiring extra sends.

Add a referral block or footer CTA to your newsletters, promotional Campaigns, and announcements so every email does double duty.
Include personalized referral links so each Contact can share immediately from any Campaign they receive.
Rotate referral messaging across different Campaign types to surface the program to different segments of your Contact List over time.

See which Campaigns generated the most new referral program members, shares, and completed referrals.
Compare performance across your kick-off Campaign, Autoresponder sequences, and ongoing newsletters to understand your best channels.
Use campaign-level data to refine subject lines, timing, and referral CTA placement across your VerticalResponse sends.

Vertical Response Referral Integration — FAQ
