💡 Tip: We recommend creating and applying a Style Guide before launching templates to streamline setup and maintain consistent branding across experiences.


Step 1: Apply Your Brand Styling

The first step is to replace the template branding with your own. Review the Style Guide Overview and Design Specifications for instructions.

Review and update:

  • Colors

  • Fonts

  • Logos

  • Background images

  • Buttons

  • Imagery

Haven't created a Style Guide yet?

No problem. You can still apply your branding directly within the experience.

  1. From the Builder Map, select the Design icon in the toolbar.

  2. The Experience Style Guide modal will open.

  3. Update your colors, fonts, logos, buttons, and imagery by clicking into each element and updating use the left side panel tools.

  4. Click Apply to update all screens.

Applying your style guide first makes it easier to visualize the final experience as you customize questions, responses, and outcomes.


Step 2: Customize the Introduction Screen

The Introduction Screen is your opportunity to explain the promotion and encourage users to participate.

You Can Edit:

  • Headline: Update with the name of your promotion.

  • Body Copy: Explain the sweepstakes, eligibility requirements, or prize details.

  • Button Text: Customize the call-to-action (for example, Spin to Win, Enter Now, or Try Your Luck).

  • Background: Replace the background image or color to match your brand.


Step 3: Customize the Spinner Screen

The Spinner Screen is the primary interaction in the experience. Users spin the wheel to receive a prize or promotional outcome.

Update the Wheel Segments

Each slice of the wheel represents a possible prize or outcome.

For each segment, update:

  • Prize label or text

  • Segment color

  • Text color (if desired)

The number of wheel segments can be increased or decreased by adding or removing segments from the spinner configuration.

Tip: Keep prize names short so they remain readable on the wheel.


Configure Winning Odds

Each wheel segment is associated with an outcome through branching.

To determine how often a prize is awarded:

  1. Select the spinner.

  2. Open the Spin Settings.

  3. Configure the probability or weight assigned to each prize.

  4. Save your changes.

Adjusting these values changes how frequently each prize is awarded without changing the appearance of the wheel.


Update the Spinner Styling

You can fully customize the appearance of the wheel to match your brand.

You can update:

  • Wheel colors

  • Prize labels

  • Center button

  • Pointer

  • Background image or color

  • Header and supporting text


Step 4: Customize the Lead Capture Screen

The Lead Capture Screen allows you to collect user information before displaying personalized results.

Review Form Fields

Determine which information you want to collect:

  • Email Address

  • First Name

  • Last Name

  • Phone Number

  • Custom Fields

Review Consent Language

Update all consent language to align with your organization's legal and compliance requirements.

Examples include:

  • Marketing consent language

  • Privacy policy references

  • Terms and conditions

Verify Hyperlinks

Ensure all links point to the correct destinations:

  • Privacy Policy

  • Terms of Service

  • Additional compliance resources

Best Practice

Keep forms as short as possible while still collecting the information required to support your business objectives.

💡 Tip: Review what fields you can add to a lead capture screen with this article.


Step 5: Customize the Outcome Screens

The Outcome Screen is where users receive more details on the offer they matched with from the spinner screen.

Verify the dynamic Outcome elements are present on the screen.

  • Result layout

  • Outcome imagery

  • Supporting content

  • Call-to-action buttons

💡 Tip: You'll know that you have the correct dynamic outcome elements by the distinguishing brackets arounds the element name.

On the Builder Map, the results screen can be identified by the arrow icon.

Best Practice

Ensure the results experience aligns with the overall purpose of the quiz and provides a clear next step for the user.


Step 6: Configure Scoring Outcomes

The sweepstakes template uses matching logic to match each panel from the spinner screen to an offer.

Accessing the Outcomes Section

Before you can customize the outcome content, you'll need to navigate to the Outcomes section of the experience. There are two ways to access this page:

Option 1: From the Builder Map

From the Builder Map, select the Outcomes icon in the toolbar. This will open the Outcomes page where you can view, add, and edit all outcome details for your experience.

Option 2: From the Screen Editor

If you are actively editing a screen, you can also navigate directly to Outcomes from the left-side panel. In the editor, locate and select Add Outcomes. This will take you to the same Outcomes page without needing to return to the Builder Map.

For each outcome, review and update:

Outcome Header

The title of the persona or result.

Outcome Description

Provide a detailed explanation of the persona and why the user was matched to it.

Outcome Image

Upload an image that visually represents the persona.

Redirect URL

Add a destination URL where users can continue their journey after viewing their result.

Outcome Name

This is a required field to add. This is just the internal name that will be used for reporting and analytics.

Add and Removing Outcomes

Use the plus button or trash icon at the bottom of the screen to add or remove outcomes. You need at least 2 outcomes to access the logic page.

Best Practice: Create outcomes that feel distinct, memorable, and valuable to the user.


Step 7: Configure Outcomes

The spinner uses Matching Outcome Logic to determine how likely each prize or result is to be selected. Each outcome is assigned a point value (weight), with higher values increasing the likelihood that outcome is chosen.

  1. In the left-side panel, select Outcome Logic.

  2. Locate each outcome listed in the Outcome Logic screen.

  3. Update the points assigned to each outcome to match the prize or messaging shown on the spinner.

  4. Repeat for each outcome until all spinner segments have a corresponding point value.

Tip: Be sure the outcome names in Outcome Logic match the prize labels on your spinner so participants receive the correct result.


Step 8: Test the Experience

Before publishing, complete a full testing pass. From the Builder Map, you will click on the Preview button to test your experience.

  • Verify all prize names and wheel segments.

  • Test multiple spins to confirm the correct outcomes appear.

  • Review lead capture fields.

  • Confirm branding, imagery, and button text are consistent throughout the experience.

  • Publish when you're ready to launch.


Next Steps

Once testing is complete, your Sweepstakes Experience is ready to publish and generate launch links by toggling to the launch section from the Builder Map.
