Schedule a Reward Campaign

This how-to schedules a Reward Campaign in the Web Console, optionally limits it to a segment of players and a maximum number of winners, and reviews the players who received the Reward once the campaign has run.

Prerequisites

• A Player that has either started a session at least once, or been created manually in the Player Manager.
• The content you want to reward already configured in your game — see the prerequisites in Add a Reward for what each Reward Type needs.
• To target a specific group of players, a Player Segment created in your game.

Reward Campaigns Menu

You'll find Reward Campaigns under Player Operations in the Web Console sidebar. From here, you can schedule new campaigns and review existing ones.

Each campaign in the list shows its name, the Reward it distributes, its status, the scheduled time, the maximum number of rewards, the sort mode, and when it was created.

A campaign has one of three statuses:

• Scheduled: the campaign is waiting for its scheduled time.
• Queued: the scheduled time has passed and the campaign is actively distributing its Reward.
• Processed: the campaign has finished distributing its Reward.

Scheduling a Campaign

Click Schedule Campaign to open the campaign form.

Fill in the campaign details:

• Name (Required): a name to identify the campaign. This is only used within the Web Console.
• Scheduled At (Required): the date and time the Reward is distributed. Use the clock button to set the time.
• Max Rewards: an optional cap on how many players are rewarded. Leave it blank to reward every eligible player.
• Sort Mode: None or Random. This controls the order in which players are picked, which only changes the outcome when Max Rewards is lower than the number of eligible players — use Random to pick winners at random, as in a lottery or giveaway.

Note

Every eligible player is rewarded when the campaign is processed, whether or not they're playing at the time. Players who don't exist in LootLocker yet when the campaign runs aren't included, so a campaign can't be used to reward players who start their first session later.

Adding the Reward

In the Reward section, click Add Reward to open the Reward modal and select what the campaign distributes. Every Reward Type is available here — see Add a Reward for the full walkthrough of each type.

Once a Reward has been added, the Reward section lists its contents and type. Use Modify Reward to change it, or View to inspect it.

Segmenting Players

By default a campaign targets every player in your game. To restrict it, click Add Segment in the Segment Players section and select a Player Segment.

A player must match all conditions within a Segment to qualify. If you add several Segments to the same campaign, they're evaluated as an OR condition — a player only needs to qualify for one of them to be eligible for the Reward.

When you're done, click Schedule Campaign to save.

Editing a Scheduled Campaign

Open a campaign to view its Settings tab, where you can change any of its details and click Save Changes, or remove it entirely with Delete Campaign.

Once a campaign has been processed it becomes read only, and the Settings tab states that the campaign has already been processed and cannot be edited.

Reviewing Winners

The Winners tab lists every player who received the Reward from this campaign, with the time it was granted and the platforms the player has authenticated with. Use the pagination controls at the bottom to page through the list, and View Player to open a player's profile in the Player Manager.

The Reward is granted to each player's profile when the campaign is processed. To let players know in-game that they've received it, use a Notification — see List Notifications and Mark as Read In-Game for handling them in your game.

Conclusion

You've scheduled a Reward Campaign, targeted it at the players you want to reach, and reviewed who received the Reward. Next, set your game up to alert players to the Rewards they've received using Notifications.
