Running Live Giveaways and Contests with Comment Trigger

Intro

This guide focuses on using ChatDaddy to automate live giveaways and contests, streamlining the process and increasing participation.

Use Case: Running Live Giveaways and Contests

• Goal: Efficiently manage live giveaways and contests based on specific comment actions.

• Benefit: Simplifies contest management, collects participant data, and boosts engagement.

Steps to Implement:

1. Define Your Giveaway/Contest Rules:

• Determine the participation criteria (e.g., comment a specific word, tag friends, share the live video).

• Choose the prize and the method for selecting the winner.

2. Create the Giveaway Automation in ChatDaddy:

• Trigger:

  • Create a new "Facebook/Instagram Comment" trigger.

  • Set the condition: "Comment Text" contains your chosen keyword (e.g., "GIVEAWAY").

  • Set the condition: "Live Video Status" is "Live".

  • Optionally, add condition: "Time" is before "5:00 PM 5 Apr 2025"

• Action:

  • Add a "Send Message" action.

  • Craft a private message (DM) confirming entry and providing further instructions.

  • Example: "You're entered! Stay tuned for the winner announcement. The giveaway end in 5pm 5 Apr 2025!"

• Optional Action:

  • Add an "Add Tag" action.

  • Tag participants (e.g., "GiveawayEntry").

3. Announce the Giveaway/Contest During the Live Stream:

• Clearly explain the rules and how to enter.

• Prompt viewers to comment with the required keyword or perform the desired action.

• Example: "To enter, comment 'GIVEAWAY' and tag two friends!"

4. Monitor and Manage Entries:

• Monitor the live chat and ensure ChatDaddy is sending confirmation DMs.

• Use the tags to track participants.

5. Select and Notify the Winner:

• After the live stream, use the tagged participants to select the winner.

• Send a private message (DM) to the winner with instructions on claiming the prize.

Key Considerations:

• Clear Instructions: Provide easy-to-understand rules.

• Engagement: Encourage viewers to participate actively.

• Transparency: Be clear about the selection process.

• Compliance: Ensure your giveaway complies with platform rules.

• Testing: Test your automation before the live event.
