Creator Dashboard
Create, edit, and track every promotion from one place. The dashboard is where campaigns come to life.
Overview
Sign in and you land here. Every promotion you've created — active, draft, or complete — lives in the dashboard alongside analytics, email exports, and quick actions.
Dashboard Home
The home screen is organized into three main areas:
Your Promotions
Every campaign you've created, organized by status:
- Active - Live promotions currently running
- Drafts - Promotions you're still building
- Completed - Ended promotions
- Deleted - Removed promotions (can be restored)
Template Showcase
Pre-built campaigns you can launch in one click. Each template comes with optimized entry methods and content — just add your brand and go.
Quick Actions
One-click shortcuts: create a new promotion, open the docs, or send feedback.
Creating Promotions
Your first promotion in seven steps:
Click "New Promotion" from the dashboard
Pick your page type — Landing, Competition, or Gamification
Configure entry methods and actions
Add prizes (Competition and Gamification modes)
Set your brand: logo, colors, background media
Set end date and timezone
Publish and share your link
Promotion Editor Tabs
Each promotion is edited through tabbed sections. Here's what each one controls:
Setup
Name, end date, dark/light mode, background image or video.
Content
Heading, description, media uploads. Drag fields to reorder.
Promotion
Social shares, referrals, daily bonus, TikTok, X, Product Hunt — all your entry methods live here.
Post Capture
What participants see after signing up. Custom messaging, login providers, email integration.
Prizes
Add prizes, pick winners, manage announcements.
Advanced
Fraud settings, region blocking, custom meta tags, and secret codes.
Setup Tab Details
Foundational settings — page type, template, timing, and visual mode.
Page Type Selector
Three modes, each built for a different goal:
- Landing Page - Email capture only. Clean form, no distractions. Ideal for waitlists and newsletter signups.
- Competition - Prize-driven engagement. Participants earn entries through social actions and referrals. Pick random winners when it ends.
- Gamification - Points and rewards. Every action earns points; participants unlock rewards at thresholds you set.
Template Selection
Two visual layouts:
- Basic Template - Clean and fast. Heading, description, and media front and centre. Works for most campaigns.
- Showcase Template - Dynamic layout with urgency elements. Built for time-sensitive promotions that need visual punch.
Note: Template selection is locked after publishing to ensure consistency for participants.
Collect Emails Toggle
On = participants must sign up with email. Off = display-only page with no registration required.
End Date and Time
Pick an end date and the live page countdown handles the rest. Uses your local timezone. After expiry, the page shows an "ended" state — no new entries, but all data remains accessible for winner selection.
Campaign Name
Internal only — participants never see it. Use something descriptive like "Summer Giveaway 2026" so you can find it later.
Dark Mode Toggle
Flip one switch and your entire campaign page goes dark — text, buttons, and cards all adjust automatically.
Entry Methods Tab Details
This is where you define how participants earn entries or points. Toggle each action on or off — they appear on your live page instantly.
Social Sharing
Enable sharing buttons to let participants spread the word. Each platform can be toggled individually:
- Facebook - Share to their timeline
- X (Twitter) - Post a tweet about your campaign
- LinkedIn - Share with professional connections
- WhatsApp - Send directly to contacts or groups
- Telegram - Share in chats and channels
- Pinterest - Pin to boards for visual discovery
In Competition and Gamification modes, sharing earns additional entries or points.
Website URL
Enter your website URL here. This integrates your page with your Tokei promotion, directing participants to support your project.
Daily Bonus
Encourages participants to return every day. When enabled, visitors can claim a bonus entry (Competition mode) or bonus points (Gamification mode) once every 24 hours. Creates a habit of engagement and keeps your campaign top of mind.
Referral System
Turn participants into ambassadors. Each participant receives a unique referral link to share with friends. When someone joins through their link, both parties benefit - the referrer earns extra entries or points.
You can customize the share message that appears when participants share their referral link.
Share Feedback
Collect valuable feedback by adding a survey question. Participants answer in their own words, giving you insights about your audience, product preferences, or any topic. Keep questions concise and open-ended to encourage thoughtful responses.
Upload Image
Allow participants to upload images as part of your campaign. Perfect for photo contests, user-generated content campaigns, or collecting visual submissions. Add a custom prompt to guide participants on what type of images you're looking for. Uploaded images are stored securely and viewable in your dashboard.
Product Hunt Actions
If you're launching on Product Hunt, add entry methods for following your profile or upvoting your product. Enter your Product Hunt username or product URL, and participants can complete these actions to earn entries or points.
TikTok Actions
Available in Gamification mode. Reward participants for engaging with your TikTok content - following your account or watching specific videos. Excellent for growing your TikTok presence while running your campaign.
Content Tab Details
Your campaign's copy and media — the first thing visitors read. Drag the handle icons to reorder fields. Character counters keep you concise.

Main Media Upload
Upload an image or video that represents your campaign. This appears prominently and is often the first thing visitors notice. High-quality product images, promotional graphics, or short videos work well. Choose media that communicates value and creates excitement.

Email Integration
Connect Mailchimp or MailerLite. Every new sign-up syncs automatically — no manual exports needed.
