What is the referral workflow?
The referral workflow is the step-by-step process that participants in your referral program go through, from enrollment to sharing and earning rewards. There are two important roles in a referral process:
Advocate - An individual enrolled in your referral program
Referred Friend - An individual referred by an advocate
There are multiple ways for an individual to get enrolled in your referral program, such as via signup, purchase, or invitation. You may set this up in your store settings, and ReferralCandy will take care of managing your participants as they move through your referral program process.
