The Creator Dashboard is where you create, manage, and analyze your promotions. Access it by signing in and navigating to the dashboard.
Dashboard Home
When you sign in, you land on the main dashboard with these areas:
Your Promotions
View all your campaigns organized by status. Use the tabs to filter:
- Active - Live promotions currently running
- Drafts - Promotions you're still building
- Completed - Ended promotions
- Deleted - Removed promotions (can be restored)
Template Showcase
Pre-built templates to help you get started quickly. Choose from options like "Family & Friends Support" or "Existing Supporters" to create promotions faster.

Shortcuts to create a new promotion, read the documentation, or share feedback.

Title, description, media uploads, and campaign details.
Entry Methods
Configure TikTok, X, Product Hunt, and other social actions.
Prizes
Add prizes, select winners, and manage announcements.

Setup Tab Details
The Setup tab contains the foundational settings for your promotion.
Page Type Selector
Choose from three page types that determine how your promotion works:
- Landing Page - Perfect for simple email collection. Visitors see your content and sign up with their email address. Ideal for building a mailing list before a product launch.
- Competition - Adds excitement with prizes and entry methods. Participants earn entries by completing actions like sharing on social media or referring friends. Select random winners when your campaign ends.
- Gamification - Takes engagement to the next level with points and rewards. Participants earn points for every action and unlock rewards at different thresholds.
Template Selection
Choose between two visual layouts for your campaign page:
- Basic Template - Clean, straightforward format with your heading, description, and media prominently displayed. Works well for most campaigns and loads quickly.
- Mid-Campaign Template - More dynamic layout with additional visual elements. Creates urgency and showcases campaign details prominently, ideal for time-sensitive promotions.
Note: Template selection is locked after publishing to ensure consistency for participants.
Collect Emails Toggle
Controls whether your campaign collects email addresses. When enabled, you'll see options for page types (Competition, Gamification, or Landing). When disabled, your page functions as a simple promotional display without requiring visitor sign-up.
End Date and Time
Set when your campaign will end using the date and time picker. The countdown timer on your live page automatically calculates remaining time based on this setting. Your local timezone is used.
After the end date passes, the campaign displays an "ended" state and new entries are no longer accepted. You can still access all entrant data and select winners after the campaign ends.
Campaign Name
Give your campaign an internal name to help you identify it in your dashboard. This name is for your reference only and won't be displayed to participants. Use descriptive names like "Summer Giveaway 2024" or "Product Launch Contest".
Dark Mode Toggle
Enable dark mode to give your campaign page a darker color scheme. Creates a modern, sleek appearance that's easier on the eyes for visitors browsing at night. The dark theme automatically adjusts all text, buttons, and interface elements.
Entry Methods Tab Details
Configure how participants can engage with your campaign and earn entries or points.
Social Sharing
Enable sharing buttons to let participants spread the word. Each platform can be toggled individually:
- Facebook - Share to their timeline
- X (Twitter) - Post a tweet about your campaign
- LinkedIn - Share with professional connections
- WhatsApp - Send directly to contacts or groups
- Telegram - Share in chats and channels
- Pinterest - Pin to boards for visual discovery
In Competition and Gamification modes, sharing earns additional entries or points.
Crowdfunding Campaign URL
If you're running a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Wefunder, enter your campaign URL here. This integrates your crowdfunding page with your HPRS promotion, directing participants to back your project.
Daily Bonus
Encourages participants to return every day. When enabled, visitors can claim a bonus entry (Competition mode) or bonus points (Gamification mode) once every 24 hours. Creates a habit of engagement and keeps your campaign top of mind.
Referral System
Turn participants into ambassadors. Each participant receives a unique referral link to share with friends. When someone joins through their link, both parties benefit - the referrer earns extra entries or points.
You can customize the share message that appears when participants share their referral link.
Survey Question
Collect valuable feedback by adding a survey question. Participants answer in their own words, giving you insights about your audience, product preferences, or any topic. Keep questions concise and open-ended to encourage thoughtful responses.
User Image Uploads
Allow participants to upload images as part of your campaign. Perfect for photo contests, user-generated content campaigns, or collecting visual submissions. Add a custom prompt to guide participants on what type of images you're looking for. Uploaded images are stored securely and viewable in your dashboard.
Product Hunt Actions
If you're launching on Product Hunt, add entry methods for following your profile or upvoting your product. Enter your Product Hunt username or product URL, and participants can complete these actions to earn entries or points.
TikTok Actions
Available in Gamification mode. Reward participants for engaging with your TikTok content - following your account or watching specific videos. Excellent for growing your TikTok presence while running your campaign.
Content Tab Details
Craft the messaging and media that visitors see on your campaign page. Each field has a character counter showing your current usage, and you can drag the fields to reorder them by clicking and dragging the handle icon next to each field label.
Drag the handle icons to reorder your content fields
Subheading
Appears above your main heading and provides context. Use it for taglines, category labels, or brief descriptors like "Limited Time Offer" or "Exclusive Giveaway". Up to 80 characters.
Heading
Your main title that visitors see when they land on your page. Make it compelling and clear about what you're offering. Whether it's "Win a $500 Gift Card" or "Join Our Product Launch", the heading sets expectations. Up to 80 characters.
Description
Tell your story here. Explain what your campaign is about, what participants can win or achieve, and why they should get involved. Format text with basic styling to highlight key points. Up to 600 characters.
Main Media Upload
Upload an image or video that represents your campaign. This appears prominently and is often the first thing visitors notice. High-quality product images, promotional graphics, or short videos work well. Choose media that communicates value and creates excitement.
Post-Capture Tab Details
Customize the experience participants see after they register.
Post Sign-Up Content
After participants register, they see different content than first-time visitors. Customize this with a dedicated subheading, heading, and description that acknowledges their participation.
Use this space to thank them for joining, explain how to earn more entries or points, or highlight actions they can take now that they're registered.
Login Provider Management
Control how participants can sign up. Email registration is always available. You can also enable social login options like Google for faster sign-up with a single click.
Choose methods that make sense for your audience. Some prefer email simplicity, others appreciate social login convenience.
Email Integration
Connect your campaign to your email marketing platform to automatically sync new subscribers. HPRS integrates with Mailchimp and MailerLite.
Once connected, every new sign-up is sent to your chosen platform, making it easy to follow up after your campaign ends.
Template Showcase
Get started quickly with pre-built templates designed for common campaign goals. Each template comes with optimized settings, entry methods, and content suggestions to help you launch faster.
Family & Friends Support
