Refer & earn

Refer & earn: share your invite link or invite friends by email. Each friend starts with free credits and no card, and you get free credits when their Darwin goes live, up to a set number of friends.

Refer & earn lets you invite other teams to Darwin. Each friend starts with free credits and no card, and your workspace gets free credits once their Darwin is live on their own website. The page shows today's amounts, such as Give 10 credits, get 5.

The Refer & earn offer: Give 10 credits, get 5. 10 free credits for each friend, no card needed, and 5 credits for you when they go live, up to 10 friends.
  1. Open Refer & earn

    Select Refer & earn near the bottom of the sidebar, just above your name. The chip beside it shows what you get for each friend.

    The Refer & earn row at the bottom of the sidebar, with a 5 free credits chip, highlighted above the user's name.
  2. Or invite friends by email

    Under Invite by email, type an address in Email addresses (1) and press Enter; add up to 10 at a time. Add an optional Note (2), which goes into the email. Preview the email (3) shows what they'll get. Then select Send invitation, or Send 2 invitations for two (4).

    Invite by email with two addresses added and the address field marked 1, the Note marked 2, Preview the email marked 3 and Send 2 invitations marked 4.

    After sending, each address shows what happened, such as Invitation sent, Already on Darwin, so they can't be referred, or Someone else invited them this week.

    The email your friends get: the subject Jordan Ellis invited you to try Darwin, the free credits, a picture of a chat booking a meeting, and the note.
  3. Follow your invitations

    Your invitations lists every friend you invited and everyone who signed up with your link, with the date and a status: Invited, Confirming their email, Signed up · not live yet, Live, Live · reward limit reached or Not eligible. The line above it counts how many friends you've been rewarded for and the credits you've earned.

    Your invitations, reading 0 of 10 friends rewarded · 0 credits earned, and Nobody yet. Friends you invite, and anyone who signs up with your link, show up here.

When you get your credits

Your free credits arrive once your friend's Darwin is live on their own website: Darwin has found it installed there and it's switched on. Each friend counts once, and the page says how many friends you can be rewarded for. After that limit, friends still get their free credits.

Free credits are used after your plan's credits and before any extra credit is charged. See Plans and credits.

Good to know

  • You can only refer people new to Darwin. An address that already has an account is never emailed and never earns a reward, and neither does a friend on your own website.
  • Nobody gets more than one invitation a week, and you can send up to 30 a day across your workspaces. Addresses that unsubscribed or bounced are skipped.
  • A note can't contain links: the email already has the button your friend needs.
  • In an Agency client workspace, the credits go to the agency's pool.
  • If the page says Refer & earn is paused right now, your link and invitations work again when it's back.
