So, you’ve just started using Feather & you want to run your first Feather contest and gather a few new leads in the process.

We make it super easy to get up and running with running a Contest, it only takes a few minutes and then everything’s on autopilot.

To get started, navigate to Dashboard > Projects > Your Project > Tools > New Tool > Contest

The Feather Contest Creation Screen

You can customise your contest widget’s text, text colour, background colour & you can also upload an image if you want. 💅

Just paste your widget’s code snippet into the desired page’s code and you’re all up and running. Your widget will start appearing on that page and whenever someone enters your contest, we’ll store those details and if you’ve got any integrations configured, we’ll pass your lead to those too.

Whenever you’re ready to pick a winner for your contest, just open up the contest in the Tools menu and hit ‘Conclude’ and we’ll randomly select a winner and we’ll send them their reward 🎉

We hope this helps, good luck with your contests! 🎀

For the impatient ones looking for a tl;dr: Navigate to Dashboard > Projects > Your Project > Tools > New Tool > Contest, create a tool, copy paste the snippet into your page and you’re up and running.
