  • {Referrer Email Address}: The email address of the person who referred them
  • {Referral Campaign}: The name of your Referral Factory campaign (useful if you're running multiple campaigns)
  • {Referral Link}: The referral link automatically generated for the new user (useful if you will enrol newly referred leads into your referral program)

How To Test Whether Your Integration Is Working

Step 1: Sign Up As the Person Referring

→ Open your campaign link in a private window or incognito mode and sign up as the Person Referring. Please note that Referral Factory uses cookies, so if you have already visited your campaign link, you may see the incorrect step. 

→ Be sure to use an email address that does not already exist as a user in your referral campaign and, depending on your settings, does not already exist in ServiceTitan. We recommend using plus addressing to make sure that each email address is unique and easily searchable. For example, yourname+personreferring+date@yourdomain.com.
