[New] API endpoint to get the referrer of a participant (V3/getReferrer)

We added a new endpoint that will return all the information—name, email, referral count, etc.— about the referrer of a participant if they exist. It is a very useful endpoint for more personalised and advanced referral flows.

The most straightforward use of this information is to create personalised messages on your emails or website, like “You’ve been invited by [Referrer’s Name]”. We’ve seen that this slight personal touch can increase the invitee participation rate and is used by unicorn companies like Revolut or Dropbox. Here is an example:

[Fixed] Invalid ShareURL merge tag in the Ghost integration

There was an issue with our Newsletter Template paired with the Ghost integration that displayed the ShareURL merge tag as an option, while Ghost does not support it. We removed that option to avoid confusion.

[Fixed] Delayed email retries

Sometimes, when there were deliverability issues, and Viral Loops tried to send an email again—like a “Welcome email” to a new referral program participant—that email would be delayed.

A brave developer went deep into some legacy code, found the bug that caused it and neutralised it.
