friends. Before you create a referral program, learn how advocates and their referred friends
interact with the referral program.

Marketing managers in your company can decide when advocates and their referred friends are
rewarded. You reward the advocate or their friends only one time during the referral journey. For
example, you can reward an advocate when they refer their friends and reward advocates for
signing up with the brand. You can't reward advocates and their friends again after friends
complete an activity.
