*GrowSurf Referral Status can have one of these values:

• CREDIT_PENDING: The participant must trigger a referral before their referrer receives credit.

• CREDIT_AWARDED: The participant triggered a referral, and their referrer received credit.

• CREDIT_EXPIRED: The participant did not trigger a referral before the referral credit expired.

You can use these new tags in your EmailOctopus email templates. For example, use GrowSurfShareURL to add each participant's unique referral link.

Troubleshooting Tips

• Check the participant's activity logs if they do not sync. GrowSurf retries failed syncs for up to 7 days.
