Tutorial - No-Code Referral Program: Airtable & Zapier

Overview: As part of building www.swapstack.co, we wanted to create a referral program that was flexible, easily changeable, specific to our needs (and free!). Using Zapier and Airtable, we built a program that allows our community to refer advertisers or writers (with different point values), track referral successes, and create a shareable leaderboard.

Background: Swapstack is platform that connects newsletter writers to advertisers, to help monetize their work & provide advertisers opportunities to market to niche audiences. Our writer network is largely based in Slack, and they're eager to refer both writers and advertisers to help grow the network. 

Details & Capabilities: We built our No-Code Referral Program using Airtable and Zapier with the following capabilities (which will be covered in our guide):

- Refer any 'type' of person (in our case, Writers or Advertisers).

- Apply different points per type.

- Create a leaderboard

- Automate initial referral & successful referral emails.

Content includes:
- An overview of our Zapier and Airtable Set-up

- A step-by-step video of how to build and implement the program.

- Detailed explanations of how each important step

- Massive opportunities!!

Please reach out to me with any inquires! We're excited to help you build :-)
