We&#8217;re committed to continuously improving our giveaway platform to help you create better contests and grow your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"april-2-2026-bulk-csv-upload-credit-entry-methods\">April 2, 2026 &#8211; Bulk CSV Upload: Credit Entry Methods<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><strong>Automatically credit entry methods and trigger CRM integrations when bulk uploading users via CSV<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you bulk upload users into a giveaway via CSV, you can now also credit them with additional entry methods in the same upload. This is especially useful for adding users to a contest and simultaneously subscribing them to your newsletter or CRM without any extra steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Credit Any Entry Method:<\/strong> After selecting your CSV file, checkboxes appear for each entry method configured in your contest. Check the ones you want to credit for all uploaded users.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Automatic CRM Sync:<\/strong> If a credited entry method has an email integration configured (Mailchimp, Klaviyo, ActiveCampaign, etc.), the integration fires automatically for each uploaded user.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Smart Duplicate Handling:<\/strong> If a user already exists in the contest, the upload skips their login entry but still credits any missing entry methods they have not yet completed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Entry Amount Control:<\/strong> Set the CSV Entry Amount column to 0 for no login entries, or leave it empty to use the contest&#8217;s default. Additional entry methods use their own configured entry amounts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This feature is available on Premium plans and above. Navigate to your contest&#8217;s Manage Entries page and click &#8220;Upload Entries&#8221; to get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"april-2-2026-reporting-page-filters\">April 2, 2026 &#8211; Reporting Page Filters<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><strong>New inline filter bar for sorting, searching, and filtering contest entries<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Manage Entries reporting page now has a professional inline filter bar that replaces the old sort panel. Filter and sort your entries without leaving the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sort Options:<\/strong> Newest first, Oldest first, Most entries, or Least entries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Date Range Filters:<\/strong> Quick presets for Today, Last 7 days, and Last 30 days, plus custom date range pickers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Entry Method Filter:<\/strong> Filter entries to show only a specific entry method.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Status Filter:<\/strong> View all entries, verified only, or flagged only.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Accurate Counts:<\/strong> Stats (Users, Actions, Earned Entries) update in real-time to reflect filtered results.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>All filters work with pagination and preserve your filter state as you navigate between pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"march-4-2026-enterprise-webhooks\">March 4, 2026 &#8211; Enterprise Webhooks<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><strong>Real-time HTTP POST notifications for giveaway events, now available on Enterprise plans<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enterprise users can now configure webhooks to receive real-time server-side notifications whenever someone enters a giveaway, completes a bonus task, or finishes all available entries. Webhooks work on both embedded widgets and hosted landing pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Three Events:<\/strong> <code>entry_submitted<\/code>, <code>task_completed<\/code>, and <code>all_entries_completed<\/code> fire automatically.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>HMAC-SHA256 Signing:<\/strong> Every request includes a signature header so you can verify it came from SweepWidget.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>JavaScript Callbacks:<\/strong> Client-side events also fire via postMessage and CustomEvent for embedded widget integrations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Test Button:<\/strong> Send a test payload from the settings page to verify your endpoint before going live.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Set up your webhook URL in <strong>Integrations &gt; Webhooks<\/strong> from your dashboard.

Now you can toggle a setting that requires participants to complete all available entry methods before they receive any entries. This is perfect for campaigns where you want maximum engagement across every platform before awarding a chance to win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"february-25-2026-wheel-picker-amp-countdown-for-instant-draws\">February 25, 2026 &#8211; Wheel Picker &amp; Countdown for Instant Draws<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><strong>Two new visual experiences for instant winner selection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instant draws just got more exciting. We added a spin-the-wheel picker and a countdown timer animation for revealing instant draw results. These work great for live events, product launches, and any giveaway where you want to build suspense before showing the result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"february-22-2026-major-shopify-woocommerce-upgrade\">February 22, 2026 &#8211; Major Shopify \/ WooCommerce Upgrade<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><strong>New powerful customizations with purchase-based entries<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can now set posts for X entries earned for X dollars spent. It used to just be X entries for every $1 spent. You can also set custom earn levels on a product level rather than globally. Additionally, you can set a min\/max purchase amount spent e.g. <em>Customers must spend at least this amount to earn entries. Leave at $0 for no minimum.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"february-20-2026-frontend-rebuilt-in-tailwind\">February 20, 2026 &#8211; Frontend Rebuilt in Tailwind<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><strong>Complete frontend rebuild using Tailwind CSS for a faster, cleaner interface<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We rebuilt the entire SweepWidget frontend using Tailwind CSS. The dashboard, giveaway builder, integrations pages, reporting, and all user-facing settings have been updated with a modern, consistent design system. Pages load faster, layouts are more responsive, and the overall experience feels significantly more polished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"february-18-2026-new-api-endpoints-for-contest-creation\">February 18, 2026 &#8211; New API Endpoints for Contest Creation<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><strong>Create and manage giveaways entirely through the API<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our API now includes endpoints to create contests from scratch, configure entry methods, set prizes, and manage all contest settings programmatically. This opens the door for agencies, platforms, and developers who need to spin up giveaways at scale without touching the dashboard. Check out the full <a href=\"https:\/\/sweepwidget.com\/docs\">API documentation<\/a> for details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"february-14-2026-17-new-email-api-integrations\">February 14, 2026 &#8211; 17 New Email API Integrations<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><strong>Major expansion of email marketing integrations to fill gaps from competing platforms<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We added 17 new email API integrations, covering popular platforms that were previously only available on Gleam or ViralSweep. Every new integration uses direct API connections for reliable, real-time subscriber syncing. Your giveaway entrants can now flow directly into whichever email platform you use, with no manual exports needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"february-11-2026-15-new-entry-methods\">February 11, 2026 &#8211; 15 New Entry Methods<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><strong>Expanded entry method library with 15 new ways for users to participate<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We added 15 new entry methods to give you more flexibility in how participants can earn entries. These span social platforms, content creation, referral actions, and more. Each new method integrates seamlessly with the existing entry method builder, so you can mix and match to create the perfect engagement flow for your campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"february-7-2026-redesigned-example-landing-pages\">February 7, 2026 &#8211; Redesigned Example Landing Pages<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><strong>All example landing pages rebuilt with better designs and platform-specific documentation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every example landing page has been redesigned from the ground up. Each one now includes clear documentation on how to use that specific platform&#8217;s features, embed options, and best practices. Whether you&#8217;re running an Instagram giveaway, a TikTok contest, or a Discord promotion, the example pages show exactly what&#8217;s possible and how to set it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"february-5-2026-entry-methods-code-cleanup\">February 5, 2026 &#8211; Entry Methods Code Cleanup<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><strong>Reduced entry methods codebase by 15,000 lines for better performance and maintainability<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We completed a major refactor of the entry methods system, removing 15,000 lines of redundant code while keeping all existing functionality intact. This means faster page loads in the giveaway builder, fewer edge-case bugs, and a much cleaner foundation for adding new entry methods going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"february-3-2026-bluesky-amp-kick-entry-methods\">February 3, 2026 &#8211; Bluesky &amp; Kick Entry Methods<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><strong>New social platform support: 4 Bluesky entry methods and 2 Kick entry methods<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Bluesky (4 methods):<\/strong> Follow account, like post, repost, and reply. All four are API-verified, so entries are automatically validated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Kick (2 methods):<\/strong> Follow channel and subscribe. These use manual verification where participants confirm completion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Both platforms are available in the entry methods builder right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"january-30-2026-save-contests-as-drafts\">January 30, 2026 &#8211; Save Contests as Drafts<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><strong>Save your giveaway progress without publishing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can now save contests as drafts and come back to finish them later. Draft contests are fully editable and won&#8217;t be visible to participants until you publish. This is especially useful when you&#8217;re waiting on assets, approval from a team, or just need to step away and pick up where you left off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"january-28-2026-additional-brands-amp-team-members\">January 28, 2026 &#8211; Additional Brands &amp; Team Members<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><strong>Add extra brands for $25\/each and extra team members for $15\/each beyond your plan limits<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Need one more brand or a few extra team seats without upgrading your entire plan? You can now manually add additional brands for $25 each or additional team members for $15 each, on top of whatever your current plan includes. This gives you the flexibility to scale your account exactly how you need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"january-24-2026-mobile-optimization-improvements\">January 24, 2026 &#8211; Mobile Optimization Improvements<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><strong>Better mobile experience across giveaway creation, embed pages, and the upgrade flow<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We made significant improvements to mobile responsiveness across three key areas: the giveaway builder now works smoothly on phones and tablets, the embed\/widget page scales properly on smaller screens, and the plan upgrade flow is much easier to navigate on mobile devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"january-23-2026-improved-onboarding-flow\">January 23, 2026 &#8211; Improved Onboarding Flow<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><strong>Streamlined setup experience for new users<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New users now get a cleaner, more guided onboarding experience that helps them create their first giveaway faster. The flow walks through brand setup, contest basics, and entry methods with less friction and clearer next steps at every stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"january-21-2026-wordpress-plugin-relaunch\">January 21, 2026 &#8211; WordPress Plugin Relaunch<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><strong>Rebuilt and relaunched the SweepWidget WordPress plugin<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SweepWidget WordPress plugin has been completely rebuilt and relaunched. It now supports the latest version of WordPress, works seamlessly with block and classic editors, and makes embedding giveaways on your WordPress site as simple as pasting a shortcode or adding a block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"january-20-2026-giveaways-directory\">January 20, 2026 &#8211; Giveaways Directory<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><strong>New public directory where users can discover and enter live giveaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We launched a <a href=\"https:\/\/sweepwidget.com\/giveaways\">giveaways directory<\/a> where anyone can browse and enter active contests. If you opt in, your giveaway gets listed in the directory and gains additional exposure to participants who are actively looking for contests to enter. It&#8217;s free visibility for your campaign with zero extra setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"january-17-2026-documentation-overhaul\">January 17, 2026 &#8211; Documentation Overhaul<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><strong>Complete documentation refresh with updated screenshots, accurate navigation paths, and comprehensive feature guides<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"513\" src=\"https:\/\/sweepwidget.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/sweepwidget-docs-1024x513.png\" alt=\"SweepWidget documentation hub\" class=\"wp-image-2931\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sweepwidget.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/sweepwidget-docs-1024x513.png 1024w, https:\/\/sweepwidget.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/sweepwidget-docs-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/sweepwidget.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/sweepwidget-docs-768x385.png 768w, https:\/\/sweepwidget.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/sweepwidget-docs.png 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We completed a major overhaul of all 100+ documentation articles to ensure they accurately reflect the current SweepWidget interface.
