How to set up a referral system in Adalo?

Step 1: Create a User Database Collection

Head over to the "Database" tab in Adalo.
Add a new collection and call it "Users".
Add properties like Name, Email, Password, and ReferralCode.
Don't forget to include a property to keep track of how many referrals each user has made.

Step 2: Generate Referral Codes

In the "Users" collection, add a property called "ReferralCode".
Use an automated action script to generate unique codes for each user when they sign up.
You can set this up either through custom actions or automate it in the workflow that handles the signup process.

Step 3: Create a Referral Tracking Property

Add a property in the "Users" collection named "ReferredBy".
This property will store the referral code of the user who referred the new user, so you can track referrals.

Step 4: Modify Signup Form

In the signup form, add a field where users can input a referral code.
Set up a workflow to check if the entered referral code is valid by searching the "Users" collection.
If it's valid, save the referring user's ID or referral code to the "ReferredBy" property of the new user.

Step 5: Update the Referrer's Data

When a new user signs up using a referral code, update the referrer's data.
Increment the number of successful referrals for the referrer by 1.
Optional: Update the referrer and new user with any rewards or notifications.

Step 6: Display Referral Information to Users

Create a screen or panel in your app where users can view their referral code, their referral status, and see how many users they have referred.
Use list and text elements to display the data dynamically from your database.

Step 7: Test the Referral System

Make sure all steps work as expected by testing the full flow from signup to referral tracking and data updates.
Check that referral codes are correctly generated and validated.
Verify that referrers are being notified and their referral counts increment accordingly.

Step 8: Customize and Optimize

Customize the look and feel of the referral input fields and information panels to match your app's theme.
Optimize the workflows for better efficiency and error handling.
Test your referral system with a small user base before a full rollout.
