The share message and required mentions / hashtags

Tune the post text customers send, and require an @mention or hashtags that we verify before issuing a coupon.

When a visitor taps “Post on X” the composer opens with a pre-composed message you control. We always append a tracked link so you can attribute the click. You can require a specific @mention and up to five hashtags — we’ll verify they’re present before issuing the coupon.

The template

Edit the message on the Reward campaign tab. Keep it under 260 characters to leave room for the tracked URL. The token {url} is where the tracked link is inserted.

Share template — example
Just discovered {ProductName}. Honestly the cleanest way I've seen to do {one-line value-prop}. {url} #buildinpublic

Required mention

Set a handle like @yourbrandand any post missing it gets a friendly error in the dialog (“Add @yourbrand to your post and try again”). Useful when you want every share to ping your own X account.

Required hashtags

Up to five. We check them as whole tokens, case-insensitive. If a required hashtag is missing, the share is rejected with a clear message and the customer can edit and re-post.

Don’t over-restrict

Each extra requirement is friction. A required mention is usually fine; multiple required hashtags drop completion rates. Start permissive and tighten if you see low-quality shares.
