Tutorials

We'll walk you through adding personalized referral program messaging to your GetResponse emails.
When you connect your GrowSurf campaign to GetResponse, you can easily embed a referral program into your GetResponse emails. Check out the examples below, each with ready-made code snippets that you can copy/paste and customize to your liking.
Example 1
Display a static image in your email.
What it looks like
Copy/paste this HTML code into your GetResponse email
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" height="100%" width="100%">
  <tr>
    <td align="center" valign="top">
      <table border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" width="800">

              </tr>
              <tr>
                <td align="center">

Customize the contents
At line 20, replace all instances of Evening Stew with your own brand name.
At lines 25, 30, and 35, replace #8E4CED with your own brand color.
At line 25 and 35, replace YOUR_CAMPAIGN_ID  with your GrowSurf campaign ID (e.g, p9josq)
If you setup a custom domain for your GrowSurf Referral Portal, replace the entire https://grow.surf/YOUR_CAMPAIGN_ID instead with your Referral Portal URL (e.g, https://refer.yourwebsite.com).
At line 15, replace https://growsurf-blog.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/eveningstew/rewards-inline.png with your own image.
At line 35, because [[grsf_next_milestone]] is used, make sure that any milestone rewards you have in your GrowSurf campaign have Next Milestone values set (see image. Note: This only applies to milestone rewards).
Example 2
Display different reward images based on how many referrals the participant has made.
