FAQ

What fields do you pass to Benchmark?
First Name
Last Name
Email Address
Address
City
State
Postal Code
Country
Phone
Birthdate
Referral Link

Do you update subscribers?
Yes, if you run a promotion and we pass someone to Benchmark, then you run another promotion in the future and the same person enters, we will automatically update their information in Benchmark (if any new information is provided). Mainly, the referral URL will be updated with the newest URL for each promotion they enter.


Troubleshooting

If you have connected to Benchmark and data is not being added to your list, these are the most common reasons as to why:

Email already in Benchmark list
The email address entered into the promotion may already be in your Benchmark list, so it will not be added again.

Email already entered into ViralSweep
โ€‹
The email address entered into the promotion has already been entered into the promotion previously, so therefore it is not passed to Benchmark. This can happen if you set up your Benchmark integration after you have already entered the promotion.

Delay in reporting
โ€‹
Benchmark is having a delay in reporting. Try checking again in a few hours.
