Step 1: Create A Text Column in Monday
→ Before you configure the sync between Referral Factory and Monday, you will need to create a text column inside the board you want to sync from Monday to store each contact's referral link.
→ You may also want to create columns to store each referrer's performance metrics, i.e. the number of people they have referred [Referral Count] and the number of those referrals that have been successful [Converted Referral Count].
Step 2: Start Your Sync in Referral Factory
You can sync your Monday contacts from two places in Referral Factory:
- From the Promote section inside the campaign builder → Click Generate referral links for your contacts by syncing them.
- From the Users Tab → Click Add Users → Click Sync Your CRM Contacts.
Step 3: Choose The Contacts You Want to Sync
→ Choose which contacts you want to sync. You have the option to sync your contacts from a specific board and/or a specific group inside that board.
→ Click Next.
Step 4: Map Your Fields From Monday To Referral Factory
→ Map the property fields from Monday to the relevant data fields in Referral Factory.
→ Click Next.
Step 5: Map Your Fields From Referral Factory To Monday
→ Map the data from Referral Factory to the text column you have created in Monday. To surface each contact's referral link inside Monday, you must map the field "Referral Link".
→ Click Next.
💡 If your recently created Monday text column isn’t available for selection in Referral Factory, try clicking the refresh icon.
Step 6: Confirm (With The Option To Sync Ongoing)
→ In the final step, you have the option to make the sync function on an ongoing basis. Use the toggle to make the sync ongoing.
→ Click Start Sync.
📌 You can stop the ongoing sync from the Promote section of the campaign builder. Learn more.
❗️Contacts that you sync will not be automatically notified or sent their referral link, even if your email notification for the person referring is switched on. If you would like to notify them, please use your own marketing channels or Referral Factory's once-off email feature.
❗️This is not a two-way sync. In other words, direct users who sign up for a referral link via the Pages for the Person Referring will not be automatically added to Monday. Should you wish to set up this function, you can do so on the Integrations step of the Campaign Builder by scrolling down to the section titled Person Referring (send direct users into Monday).
