Referral program

As a Respona user, you can earn 5000 bonus credits for each referral who signs up for Respona and becomes a paying customer.

A 30-day cookie is placed on your referral's browser when you share your referral link. This means that even if your referral leaves the page and comes back in the future, we'll still track the referral to you.

Once your referral signs up and becomes a paying customer, we'll credit your account with 5000 bonus credits. These credits never expire and will remain in your account as a backup. If you ever run out of monthly plan credits, these bonus credits will be used to cover any additional usage.

To share your referral link, you can add it to your email campaigns by selecting "Include referral link to earn free credits" from the "Create a sequence" tab.


You can track all referrals from the "Earn credits" tab of the Account menu.


In addition to the 5000 bonus credits for each paying customer referral, we're also offering an extra 5k credits for users who leave a review of Respona on G2, or Capterra

To claim your review credits, send us a screenshot of your review via support chat.

Assign multiple emails to each campaign

Now, all users have the option to assign several sender emails to a campaign.

Doing so will spread out the campaign across all involved emails.

To assign several sender emails to a campaign, simply navigate to the "Verify & Launch" menu at step 4 of your campaign, and click on the "Sender emails" drop-down.

Email finding for podcasts

Previously, after searching for podcasts, users would also need to run a contact search automation to find actual emails.

Now, this process has been integrated into the podcast search automation itself - it pulls podcasts and contact details as a single step, with no need to run an additional automation and spend credits at Step 3 - Confirm Contact.

Credits usage for running contact automations

Previously, Respona would not allow users to run contact automations unless they had enough credits for all opportunities.

Now, you no longer need credits for all opportunities - the automation will run regardless of the number of credits and will stop once they run out.
