Discover how Streamflow's Blink feature can elevate your airdrop campaigns. How Blinks work, how to customize and enable them, and more.

Updated over a week ago

Blinks is an innovative feature designed to enhance the visibility and engagement of your airdrop campaigns on social media platforms, particularly on Twitter.

With Blinks, you can automatically generate an eye-catching preview image or GIF simply by sharing your airdrop link. This makes it easier for your audience to notice and interact with your airdrop, significantly improving the overall effectiveness of your campaign.

Blinks offer a seamless way to integrate your airdrop marketing efforts with social media. Once an airdrop is created using Streamflow, the Blink feature is automatically enabled, allowing you to focus on engaging with your audience rather than worrying about the technical details. Whether you’re sharing your airdrop with a community, promoting it to a broader audience, or trying to boost its reach, Blinks can make your content stand out.

Moreover, Streamflow offers the option to customize the Blink with a unique cover image or GIF, tailored to your specific campaign. This customization adds a layer of personalization, ensuring that your airdrop aligns with your brand’s identity and messaging.

How Blinks Work

The Blink feature in Streamflow is incredibly simple to use. After setting up your airdrop through the platform, the Blink will automatically be associated with your airdrop link. When you paste this link on social media, such as Twitter, a preview image or GIF will be generated, providing a visual representation of the airdrop.

This preview is designed to catch the eye of potential participants, encouraging them to click through and engage with the airdrop.

For example, when you paste an airdrop link like this one on Twitter, a Blink will automatically appear.

This not only makes the post more attractive but also helps convey important information about the airdrop at a glance.

Customizing Your Blink

While the default Blink is effective, you can take your campaign to the next level by customizing the Blink.

Streamflow allows you to request a custom cover image or GIF that better represents your airdrop or brand. For instance, the SEND team used a custom GIF to make their airdrop more distinctive, which you can see here.

To fully benefit from the Blink feature, you need to ensure that it is enabled in your wallet. This is essential for seeing the Blink and interacting with the airdrop as intended.
