Activation campaigns

Email only the people who are not sharing yet

Activation campaigns target only the contacts who have not joined or started sharing. You can keep inviting people into the program without re-emailing the members who are already active.

  • A simple editor pulls in your logo, colors, sharing options, and program stats. An on-brand invite goes out without waiting on a designer.
  • Follow-ups only reach people who have not engaged, and a built-in waiting period between sends keeps you from accidentally over-emailing the same contact.
  • Organize contacts into lists, so the right campaign reaches the right group instead of one undifferentiated send to everybody.
  • Add contacts by CSV, through Zapier or the API, or one at a time. The audience builds itself from new customers and converted referrals.

The automated emails

The right email on the right trigger, sent for you

Once the program is live, the emails that keep it moving should not need a person behind every send. These fire on the member's status and activity, automatically.

Invite scheduler

Pick the days invites go out, and every eligible contact gets invited on schedule, so the first email of the program never depends on someone remembering to send it.

Welcome email control

Choose which newly activated members get the welcome. A member a recruiter onboarded by hand is not welcomed a second time by the system.

Referral progress emails

Members hear automatically when a referral they sent moves forward, which keeps them in the loop and sharing.

Reward notifications

As soon as a reward is earned, the member is told. It reinforces the exact behavior you want them to repeat.

Monthly summary

A recap each month brings activated members back to share again. The program keeps moving after the first wave.

One-click access from any email

A link in the email drops the member straight into their portal with no login. The path from reading the email to sharing is a single tap.

The email engine the program runs on

Invite, remind, reward, and re-engage, all from inside the platform that already knows who did what.

  • Invites that send themselves

    Scheduled invites and reminders reach new members without a manual send.

  • Members stay in the loop

    Progress and reward emails fire automatically as referrals move forward.

  • Re-engagement built in

    A monthly summary brings activated members back before they go quiet.

  • One less tool to wire up

    It runs inside Referral Rock, so there is no separate ESP to connect and sync.

Deliverability

Reach the inbox and honor every opt-out

Built-in email only helps if it actually arrives and keeps you on the right side of your contacts. The sending side is handled so the volume never works against you.

Send from your own domain so program email comes from your brand instead of a generic relay. That helps both deliverability and trust.
Every campaign reports sent, open, and click rates, plus a delivery report covering undelivered, spam, and unsubscribed. You can see what landed.
A waiting period between campaigns keeps you from over-mailing the same person. That protects your sender reputation over time.
Unsubscribes are honored automatically and suppressed from future sends. Respecting an opt-out is never a manual step you can forget.
