Webhooks Integration Guide

SweepWidget — Wed, 04 Mar 2026 23:56:51 +0000

Webhooks Receive real-time HTTP POST notifications when users enter your giveaway, complete tasks, or finish all entries. Available on Enterprise plans. PlanEnterprise Overview SweepWidget provides two ways to receive real-time event data from your giveaways: Server-side webhooks – HTTP POST requests sent from our server to yours. Work on both embedded widgets and hosted landing pages. Best for backend workflows like CRM syncing, email triggers, and database updates. Client-side JavaScript callbacks – Browser events fired on the page where the widget is loaded. Best for frontend actions like firing tracking pixels, showing custom UI, or triggering analytics events. Both systems fire on the same three events and return the same data. You can use one or both depending on your needs. On this page: Setup Events Payload Format Request Headers Signature Verification JavaScript Callbacks Signing Secret Troubleshooting Setup Server-side webhooks Go to Integrations in your dashboard and click the Webhooks card. Enter your endpoint URL (must use HTTPS) and click Save. Copy the Signing Secret to verify webhook signatures on your server. Use the Send Test button to send a test payload and confirm your endpoint is receiving requests. Note: Webhooks are configured at the account level. Once set up, they fire for all giveaways on your account. JavaScript callbacks No dashboard configuration needed. Add an event listener to the page where your SweepWidget is embedded. See the JavaScript Callbacks section below for code examples. Events All three events fire automatically. There is no per-event toggle. Both webhooks and JS callbacks fire on the same events. Event Fires when entry_submitted A user submits the initial entry form (email, name, etc.) task_completed A user completes a bonus entry task (follow, visit, share, etc.) all_entries_completed A user has completed every available task in the giveaway Payload Format Both webhooks and JS callbacks return the same data for each event. Webhooks wrap the data in an event + data + timestamp envelope. JS callbacks provide the data directly in e.detail. entry_submitted task_completed all_entries_completed Request Headers Each webhook HTTP request includes these headers: Header Description Content-Type application/json X-SweepWidget-Signature HMAC-SHA256 signature of the payload body, prefixed with sha256= X-SweepWidget-Event The event name (e.g. entry_submitted) User-Agent SweepWidget-Webhook/1.0 Signature Verification Always verify the X-SweepWidget-Signature header to confirm the request came from SweepWidget. Compute an HMAC-SHA256 hash of the raw request body using your signing secret and compare it to the signature in the header. PHP Node.js JavaScript Callbacks SweepWidget fires client-side JavaScript events whenever a user enters your giveaway, completes a task, or finishes all entries. These events work on both embedded widgets (via postMessage relay from the iframe to the parent page) and hosted landing pages (via CustomEvent on the window). No dashboard configuration is required. Just add a listener to the page where your widget is embedded. The event data is identical to the webhook payload data. Method 1: Individual event listeners Listen for specific events by name. The event data is available in e.detail. Method 2: Catch-all event listener Listen for all SweepWidget events with a single listener. The event name and data are in e.detail.event and e.detail.data. Method 3: Global callback function Define a global function that will be called for every event. This works even if you add it before the SweepWidget script loads. Example: Fire a Meta/Facebook pixel event on entry Example: Google Analytics event on entry Embedded widgets: Events are sent from the iframe to the parent page via postMessage. The SweepWidget embed script automatically relays them as CustomEvents on the parent window, so your listeners work without any extra setup. Signing Secret A signing secret is generated automatically when you first save a webhook URL. You can regenerate it at any time from the Webhooks settings page by clicking Regenerate Secret. Important: Regenerating your secret immediately invalidates the old one. Update your server with the new secret right away to avoid rejected webhooks. Troubleshooting Issue Solution Not receiving webhooks Confirm your URL starts with https:// and your endpoint returns a 2xx status code. Use the Test button to verify. Signature mismatch Make sure you are hashing the raw request body (not a parsed/re-serialized version). Check that your secret matches the one shown in settings. Timeouts SweepWidget waits up to 5 seconds for a response. Return a 200 immediately and process the data asynchronously if your logic takes longer. JS callbacks not firing (embedded) Make sure you are using the SweepWidget <script> embed code, not a raw iframe. The embed script handles the postMessage relay. Add your event listeners before the embed script loads. JS callbacks not firing (hosted) On hosted landing pages, JS callbacks fire as CustomEvents on the window. You need to inject custom JavaScript on the page to listen for them. Verify your account is on an Enterprise plan.

Entry Award Mode – How Are Entries Awarded?

SweepWidget — Wed, 04 Mar 2026 03:18:44 +0000

Create your own giveaway By default, each entry method in your giveaway awards its own entries individually. With Entry Award Mode, you can change this so that entries are only awarded after a participant completes all entry methods. This is useful when you want to require participants to finish every action before earning any entries. Table of Contents How It Works How to Set It Up What Participants See FAQ How It Works There are two entry award modes available: 1. Per Entry Method (Default) Each entry method awards its own entries independently. For example, if “Follow on Twitter” is worth 3 entries and “Visit a Website” is worth 1 entry, the participant earns entries as they complete each action. 2. After All Entry Methods Are Completed Entries are only awarded after the participant completes every entry method. Instead of individual entry values per method, you set a single total entries amount that is awarded once all actions are finished. Individual “Worth # entries” values on each entry method are ignored. This mode is ideal when you want to ensure participants complete all required actions before they receive any entries into the giveaway. How to Set It Up Go to the Build/Edit Giveaway page. Scroll down to the Entry Methods section. Below the entry methods list, find the Advanced options area. The first option is “How are entries awarded?” with two radio buttons: Per entry method (default) – each entry method awards entries individually. After all entry methods are completed – entries are awarded only after all methods are done. If you select “After all entry methods are completed”, a new field will appear: “Total entries awarded after completing all entry methods”. Enter the number of entries participants will earn after finishing every entry method. Click Save Changes. Note: When “After all entry methods are completed” is selected, the “Worth # entries” field on individual entry methods will be hidden, since those values are no longer used. Note: This feature requires a Pro plan or higher. What Participants See When the entry award mode is set to “After all entry methods are completed”: A progress bar is displayed at the top of the entry methods, showing how many actions they have completed out of the total. Individual entry badges (e.g., “+3 entries”) are not shown on each entry method. Once all entry methods are completed, the participant is awarded the total entries amount you configured. FAQ Can I change the entry award mode after a giveaway is live? Yes, you can change the entry award mode at any time by editing the giveaway. However, keep in mind that existing entries will not be retroactively recalculated. What happens if a participant only completes some of the entry methods? If the mode is set to “After all entry methods are completed”, participants who have not finished every entry method will have 0 entries. They must complete all actions to earn the total entries. Does this work with mandatory and optional entry methods? Yes. All entry methods (both mandatory and optional) must be completed for the participant to earn entries when using this mode. What plan do I need? Entry Award Mode requires a Pro plan or higher. If you are on a Free plan, the option will be visible but disabled.

Custom Form Fields

SweepWidget — Mon, 09 Feb 2026 21:53:39 +0000

Create your own giveaway This article covers all of the custom form field types that SweepWidget allows you to add to your giveaway. Custom form fields let you collect additional data from entrants beyond the default email and name fields.

Navigate to the Login Fields tab. Click the Additional Login Field button. Choose the field type you want to add. Configure the field options (label, placeholder text, required toggle, etc.). You can add multiple custom form fields to a single giveaway. Fields can be reordered by dragging and dropping. All Field Types SweepWidget supports the following custom form field types: Text Input A single-line text field for short responses. You can set custom placeholder text and make the field required or optional. Select Dropdown A dropdown selection field where users choose one option from a list. Add your custom options, one per line. Radio Buttons Single-choice radio buttons where users select one option. Add your custom options, one per line. You can optionally set a correct answer for quiz functionality (see Quiz Mode below). Textarea A multi-line text area for longer responses. Useful for collecting feedback, comments, or essay-style answers. You can set custom placeholder text. Single Checkbox A boolean checkbox field. Users can check or uncheck it. You can set it to be pre-checked by default and make it required (e.g., for terms and conditions acceptance). Multiple Checkboxes Multi-choice checkboxes where users can select one or more options. Add your custom options, one per line. Birthday A date of birth field with Month, Day, and Year dropdowns. The collected birthday data appears in CSV exports. Full Name A full name collection field. This automatically splits the input into first name and last name for CSV export purposes. Address A complete address form with fields for Street, City, State/Province, Zip/Postal Code, and Country. All address components are exported as separate columns in CSV exports. Phone Number An international phone number field with a country code dropdown. Validates the phone number format based on the selected country. E-Signature An electronic signature pad where users draw their signature using a canvas-based input. Signatures are saved as images and can be downloaded from the Entries section. See the dedicated E-Signature doc for more details. Password Field A password input field where the user’s response is masked (shown as dots) while typing. The submitted value is stored securely and appears in the Entries section, CSV exports, and webhook payloads just like any other custom field. This is useful for collecting account passwords, access codes, or any sensitive text input that should not be visible on screen. Available on Business plans and above. Password Requirements (Optional) You can set minimum password requirements that users must meet before submitting. Configure any combination of the following in the entry method settings: Minimum length – Set a minimum number of characters (e.g. 8) Require uppercase letter (A-Z) Require lowercase letter (a-z) Require number (0-9) Require special character (!@#$%^&*) When requirements are configured, users see a real-time checklist below the password input that updates as they type, showing which requirements are met (green checkmark) and which are not yet met (red X). The password cannot be submitted until all requirements are satisfied. Pre-Entry vs. Post-Login Placement Custom form fields can be placed at two different levels in the giveaway flow: Level 1 (Pre-Entry) – Fields appear on the initial login/entry form before the user enters the giveaway. The user must fill in these fields to proceed. Best for collecting essential information like name, address, or phone number. Level 2 (Post-Login) – Fields appear as an entry method after the user has logged in. The user earns entries by completing the form field. Best for optional data collection or quiz questions. Choose the placement that best suits your data collection needs. Required fields (like terms acceptance or shipping address) work best as Level 1 pre-entry fields. Optional survey questions or quiz fields work well as Level 2 post-login entry methods. Quiz Mode (Radio Buttons with Correct Answers) When using Radio Button fields, you can optionally designate one option as the correct answer. This turns the field into a quiz question: Add a Radio Button field. Enter your answer options (one per line). Select which option is the correct answer. When a user selects the wrong answer, they will not receive credit for that entry. This is useful for trivia contests, knowledge checks, or ensuring users have read specific information. Exporting Custom Field Data All custom form field responses are included in CSV exports. Each custom field gets its own column in the export file. To export: Go to your giveaway’s Entries section. Click Export. Choose All Users Export to get one row per user with all custom field responses as separate columns. Custom field data is also visible on individual user detail pages in the Entries section.

How to Connect Klaviyo to Your Giveaway

SweepWidget — Tue, 20 Jan 2026 21:50:21 +0000

Klaviyo is a powerful email marketing platform that helps you build customer relationships. With SweepWidget’s Klaviyo integration, you can automatically add giveaway participants to your Klaviyo lists when they complete the “Subscribe To Newsletter” entry method. Table of Contents Overview Requirements Step 1: Get Your Klaviyo Private API Key Step 2: Add the Newsletter Subscription Entry Method Step 3: Connect Klaviyo Step 4: Test Your Integration Troubleshooting Common Issues What Data Gets Sent to Klaviyo Frequently Asked Questions Overview The Klaviyo integration allows you to grow your email list while running giveaways. When a participant completes the “Subscribe To Newsletter” entry method, their name and email address are automatically added to your selected Klaviyo list. Plan Required: Pro plan or higher Requirements Before you begin, make sure you have: A Klaviyo account (free or paid) At least one list created and active in Klaviyo (lists must be published, not in draft status) Your Klaviyo private API key (not the public key) with the correct permissions A SweepWidget Pro plan or higher Important: API Key Permissions Required Your Klaviyo private API key must have both of these permissions for the integration to work: Permission Access Level Why It’s Needed Lists Read To fetch and display your available lists in SweepWidget Profiles Full Access (Read/Write) To create new subscriber profiles and add them to your lists If either permission is missing, the integration will fail. Lists won’t load without “Lists – Read” permission, and subscribers won’t be added without “Profiles – Full Access” permission. Step 1: Get Your Klaviyo Private API Key Important: You must use your private API key, not the public key. The public key will not work for this integration. To find your Klaviyo private API key: Log in to your Klaviyo account Click on your account name in the lower-left corner Select Settings Click on API Keys in the left sidebar Under “Private API Keys”, you’ll see your existing keys or can create a new one Click Create Private API Key if you need a new one Give it a name like “SweepWidget Integration” Set the required scopes/permissions: Lists – Select Read access Profiles – Select Full Access (both Read and Write) Click Create to generate the key Copy the API key immediately (it starts with “pk_” for private keys) Note: Private keys start with pk_ while public keys start with a different prefix. Make sure you’re using the private key. For detailed instructions, see Klaviyo’s guide on managing API keys. Before You Continue: Create a List in Klaviyo Before connecting to SweepWidget, make sure you have at least one active/published list in your Klaviyo account: In Klaviyo, go to Audience → Lists & Segments Click Create List / Segment Select List Give your list a name (e.g., “Giveaway Subscribers”) Click Create Important: The list must be active/published. Draft lists or suppression lists will not appear when you fetch lists in SweepWidget. Step 2: Add the Newsletter Subscription Entry Method In your SweepWidget giveaway editor, go to the Entry Methods tab Click the + Add Entry Method button From the entry method selection popup, click Newsletter Subscription (it has an envelope icon) After adding the entry method, you’ll see the configuration panel: Configure the basic settings: Entry Label: The text participants will see (default: “Subscribe To Newsletter”) Worth # entries: How many entries this action is worth Newsletter Name: A display name for your newsletter (e.g., “My Newsletter”) Mandatory: Check this to require participants to subscribe to enter Step 3: Connect Klaviyo Now connect your Klaviyo account: Check the box Integrate Your Email List A grid of email marketing providers will appear Click on the Klaviyo icon After selecting Klaviyo, you’ll see the API configuration section: In the “Enter your Klaviyo private API key” field, paste your private API key Click the Fetch Lists button Wait for your lists to load (this may take a few seconds) Select the list you want subscribers added to from the Newsletter Lists dropdown Click Save & Publish to save your giveaway If no lists appear: Make sure your API key has “Lists – Read” permission and that you have at least one active list in Klaviyo (not a draft or suppression list). Step 4: Test Your Integration Before launching your giveaway, test the integration: Preview your giveaway or visit the live giveaway URL Enter the giveaway with a test email address Complete the “Subscribe To Newsletter” entry method Go to your Klaviyo account and check your list Verify the test email was added to the list Tip: Use a different email than your Klaviyo account email for testing, as some platforms filter out their own account emails. Troubleshooting Common Issues Lists Not Loading / “No lists found” If clicking “Fetch Lists” doesn’t show your lists: Wrong API key type: Make sure you’re using your private API key (starts with pk_), not the public key Missing API permission: Your API key needs “Lists – Read” permission. Create a new key with this permission if missing No active lists exist: Create at least one active/published list in Klaviyo before trying to fetch. Draft lists and suppression lists won’t appear API key inactive: Check in Klaviyo that the API key is active and not revoked Copy/paste error: Re-copy the API key directly from Klaviyo, ensuring no extra spaces Subscribers Not Being Added to List If participants complete the entry but don’t appear in your Klaviyo list: Missing API permission: Your API key needs “Profiles – Full Access” (Read and Write) permission to create profiles and add them to lists. This is the most common issue! Profile already exists: If the email already exists in Klaviyo, they’ll be added to the list (not duplicated). Check if they’re already a member List changed: If you renamed or deleted the list in Klaviyo after setting up the giveaway, you need to re-fetch lists and re-select Check suppressed profiles: In Klaviyo, check if the email is in your suppressed list “Error” When Fetching Lists If you see

Last updated: September 16, 2025 The following terms and conditions govern all use of the sweepwidget.com website and all content, services and products available at or through the website, including, but not limited to, the SweepWidget entry form widget system (taken together, the Service). The Service is offered subject to your acceptance without modification of all of the terms and conditions contained herein and all other operating rules, policies (including, without limitation, SweepWidget Privacy Policy) and procedures that may be published from time to time on this Site by SweepWidget (collectively, the “Agreement”). Please read this Agreement carefully before accessing or using the Service. By accessing or using any part of the Service, you agree to become bound by the terms and conditions of this agreement. If you do not agree to all the terms and conditions of this agreement, then you may not access the Service or use any services. If these terms and conditions are considered an offer by SweepWidget, acceptance is expressly limited to these terms. Responsibility of Service Visitors SweepWidget has not reviewed, and cannot review, all of the material, including computer software, posted to the Service, and cannot therefore be responsible for that material’s content, use or effects. By operating the Service, SweepWidget’s does not represent or imply that it endorses the material there posted, or that it believes such material to be accurate, useful or non-harmful. You are responsible for taking precautions as necessary to protect yourself and your computer systems from viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and other harmful or destructive content. The Service may contain content that is offensive, indecent, or otherwise objectionable, as well as content containing technical inaccuracies, typographical mistakes, and other errors. SweepWidget disclaims any responsibility for any harm resulting from the use by visitors of the Service, or from any downloading by those visitors of content there posted. You release SweepWidget of all liability, including but not limited to items won through the Service in giveaways created by sweepwidget.com members. SweepWidget shall have no liability if you as a giveaway host or giveaway entrant are doing anything illegal, harmful, or otherwise indecent. SweepWidget claims no liability for the content created by a user, uploaded by a user, or entered by a user. SweepWidget is simply licensing our software to users. We claim no liability for what you create with it, what you upload to our servers, or any other ways that you use our software. Plans We offer a free plan, a monthly pro plan for $29.00, a monthly business plan for $59.00, a monthly premium plan for $119.00, and a monthly enterprise plan for $249.00. We also offer an annual pro plan for $290.00, an annual business plan for $590.00, an annual premium plan for $1,190.00, and an annual enterprise plan for $2,490.00. The services offered can be viewed here: Pricing. Whitelabeling & Third-Party Integrations Whitelabeling under paid plans applies to the SweepWidget-hosted pages, widgets, and customer-facing experiences that we directly provide. However, actions involving third-party platforms (such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, or others) may require users to accept those platforms’ own terms of service, branding, or consent flows. This requirement is outside of SweepWidget’s control and cannot be altered. By using such integrations, you acknowledge that external branding or terms may appear as part of the participant journey. Additionally, certain third-party integrations may require participants to manually confirm actions (for example, entering a username after completing a follow or like). This occurs because the external platform’s API or policies do not provide automatic verification. SweepWidget is not responsible for any user friction, abandoned entries, or other limitations that result from third-party restrictions. Recurring Charges For Paid Services You’ll automatically be charged once per month for monthly plans, and once per year for annual plans. You can cancel your subscription anytime and you’ll keep the paid features until the end of your billing cycle. You can manually cancel your plan in your account or contact support to do so. Refund Policy We have a 7-day money back guarantee if you’re unsatisfied with SweepWidget within the first billing cycle. Note: you must have less than 25 participants to qualify for a refund. For recurring payments: No refunds shall be granted on the second billing cycle or later. No refunds of unused fees shall be issued due to your decision to close your Account. Our billing team has the absolute right to decline to issue a refund. Refunds are limited strictly to subscription fees paid to SweepWidget. We do not reimburse for development time, labor costs, indirect costs, or consequential damages incurred by your team. Compensation beyond the subscription fee is not available under any circumstances. Your SweepWidget Account If you are a member of SweepWidget, you are responsible for maintaining the security of your account, and you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under the account and any other actions taken in connection with the account. You must not describe or assign keywords to your account or giveaways in a misleading or unlawful manner, including in a manner intended to trade on the name or reputation of others, and SweepWidget may change or remove any description or keyword that it considers inappropriate or unlawful, or otherwise likely to cause SweepWidget liability. You must immediately notify SweepWidget of any unauthorized uses of your account or any other breaches of security. SweepWidget will not be liable for any acts or omissions by You, including any damages of any kind incurred as a result of such acts or omissions. You must not sell or trade any information gathered by the SweepWidget widget system. You must respect the privacy of the users that enter your giveaway. By submitting any information to SweepWidget for inclusion on your Service, you grant SweepWidget a world-wide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, modify, adapt and publish any of the information solely for the purpose of displaying, distributing and promoting your blog & giveaway. If you delete any information, SweepWidget will use reasonable efforts
