To make 'signing up to the newsletter' a 'mandatory condition' for entry into your campaign is against the regulations of many jurisdictions and is also against the TOS of many ESPs. It can also reduce your participation rate.
Hence we have provided a solution for this by creating a new action 'Sign up to our newsletter' - This is a very popular action with our customers. You can activate and incentivize this action with bonus entries or instant rewards or both. Incentivization will attract people to subscribe to your newsletter. Further, you can also sync entrants' name and email with your ESP (E.g. MailChimp, Active Campaign, Aweber , Klaviyo and many more..).

We are pleased to let you know that we have released the much-requested “Required Entry” feature.
Required entry methods are actions that participants must complete in order to enter your campaign. This allows you to mark the entry methods that matter most to you as Required and drive more meaningful value from your campaigns.
We have designed this to be both extensive and flexible. You can set any entry method as Required—for example, subscribe to newsletter, watch a video, visit a page, participate in a quiz or survey, and more.
To make any entry method Required in your current or new campaigns, simply sign in to your Social Boost admin and check the “Required entry” option for the relevant entry method. Participants will need to complete all required entry methods before they can proceed to any other optional actions.
We would love to hear your thoughts or suggestions. Please send any feedback to feedback [at] appsmav [dot] com.
And the good news: this feature is now available on all plans at no additional cost to our customers.
Use cases on how you can use ‘Required’ entry to meet your goals:
1. Grow a High-Intent Email List:
Set “Subscribe to newsletter” as a Required entry method.¹
Keep additional actions like “Follow us on Instagram” or “Share this campaign” as Optional.
Benefit: Every participant must join your mailing list to enter, so you are not just collecting campaign-only users, but building a qualified audience you can nurture with future campaigns and promotions.
2. Drive Qualified Traffic to Key Pages:
Set “Visit this page” (e.g., a product category or promotion page) as Required.
Keep other actions – like watching a video or answering a question – as Optional.
Benefit: You ensure all participants see the pages that matter most to your sales or marketing objectives, increasing the chances of on-site engagement and conversions.
3. Collect Zero-Party Data (Preferences, Interests, Intent):
Set a “Quiz” or “Survey” entry method as Required (e.g., “Tell us your skin type”, “Which product category are you most interested in?”).
Use Optional entries like social follows or referrals for extra chances to win.
Benefit: Every entrant provides valuable preference and intent data that you can use for segmentation, product decisions, and targeted campaigns.
4. Encourage Product Discovery and Education
Set “Watch a video” or “View a product page” as Required.
Make related actions like “Answer a question about the video” or “Vote for your favorite product” Optional.
Benefit: All participants are exposed to your key product messaging, increasing familiarity and purchase likelihood.
5. Boost Social Proof and Engagement
Set “Visit us on [Platform] and answer this question” as Required when social community growth is the primary goal.
Use Optional actions such as “Like a specific post”, “Comment on a post” to offer extra entries.
Benefit: You guarantee every entrant becomes part of your social audience, while additional engagement builds reach and social proof.
6. Pre-Qualify Leads for Higher-Value Campaigns
Use ‘create form’ action to create “Submit a booking/enquiry form”, “Provide business details”, or “Confirm phone number” as Required.
Benefit: You reduce noise from low-intent entrants and focus your sales or follow-up effort on leads that have already taken a meaningful action.
7. Promote Events, Webinars, or In-Store Visits
Use ‘create form’ action to create “Register for the event” or “RSVP” as a Required entry method.
Offer Optional actions like “Share this event with a friend” or “Follow us for event updates” for extra entries.
Benefit: Every participant who joins the campaign also signs up for your event, making the giveaway a powerful acquisition channel for attendance.
8. Drive Reviews and User Feedback
For campaigns targeting existing customers, set “Submit feedback” or “Complete a short review form” using the ‘Judge.me’*, ‘Loox’* and ‘WooReviews’* reviews as Required.
Use Optional actions like social follows or referrals to amplify the campaign.
Benefit: You consistently gather insights and social proof while still giving users additional ways to earn more entries.
