The social networks that are supported are:
- YouTube

1. Where are the brand networks displayed in the promotion?
The networks that the user can follow will appear on 3 different sites:
1. In the promotion header. This header will show the icons of the social networks configured in the "My Networks" module and will consist of direct access buttons to each of the platforms:
Note: The icons of social networks will not be displayed in the header of the promotion in the case of mobile devices, due to the platform's own design, which seeks to minimize the elements that appear in the header.
2. In the promotion main menu. You can enable the "Follow us" section in the promotion menu, which will automatically display the "My Networks" window over the promotion.
3. As a pop-up with the list of networks to follow, where the administrator can decide where this pop-up is displayed. The purpose of this pop-up is to show the networks to be followed as an optional step in the flow of a user's participation. This popup can be displayed automatically in the following points:
- When loading the Welcome page.
- By clicking on the "Participate" button on the Welcome page.
- By clicking the "Finalize" button on the Entry form.
4. On the Thank you page of the promotion. If you wish, you also have the possibility to show the buttons of the social networks on the final page of the promotion.
To do this, you must enable the option from the Editor> Pages> Final section:
2. Configuration and customization of 'My Networks':
1. Enter the 'Editor of the promotion'.
2. To configure the module my networks, go to General > My networks > Networks:
3. You will directly access the set-up screen of the ‘My Networks’ module. Below, we explain all the configuration and customization options available.
The 'My Networks' module can be completely customized with the Facebook pages, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, Twitch, and TikTok accounts that you want to suggest the users to follow when participating in the promotion.
Below, we explain how to customize the different tabs that are presented in this section:
1. “Networks” tab: You can add one or more Facebook pages, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, Twitch, and TikTok channels. To do this, you should click on the ‘Add Network’ button and choose between:
1) Facebook: By default the "Go to page" button will be added, which works as direct access to your Facebook page.
- Text: Message to encourage the user to visit your Facebook page.
- Facebook Page: here you should indicate the Facebook Page that you wish your users to follow. To indicate the Page, you can choose one of the following 3 methods:
- Insert the URL of the Page

- Insert the ID of the Page
- Type of button: you can decide which button you wish to use for encouraging your users to become fans:
- Go to Page (valid for all Facebook pages with and without restrictions).
- Like Box (valid only for Facebook pages without restrictions).
- Like Box with Faces (valid only for Facebook pages without restrictions).
Note: In case of selecting the type of button "Like Box" or "Like Box with Faces" keep in mind that it will not be possible to measure if the user clicks or not because Facebook eliminated the option to measure these type of buttons on February 5, 2018. Therefore, the statistics of clicks made on the "like" button can not be included in the statistics of the promotion. You can see the evolution of “likes" on the own statistics of your Facebook page (more information).
