The important points are:
Create a location where participants go to check their progress and see their rewards to make it clear to your participants that there is a location where they can see. This can be the same landing page where participants sign up.
Provide the referral link to them. This can be done by directly redirecting to a referral dashboard after signing up, through a Welcome e-mail, or by creating a referral page that they should visit at any point you see fit.
*Important: Scenarios where the referral loops require a custom action for the rewarding will need to choose templates with the conversion feature. The conversion must be triggered once the customs action is completed. You can use our SDK, API calls or Zapier to trigger the conversion event in Viral loops.
