Is it possible to use a widget for a giveaway?

Hey everyone, I’m trying to create a giveaway where once people sign up for my email list they are sent a random number that will then be drawn after a specific timeframe frame.

Or maybe I can somehow select a random name from those who entered?

Does anyone know if it’s possible to create a widget or action like this with Elfsight?

Thanks!

Hi there, @Oliver_Wassef :wave:

Yes, it’s possible to generate random numbers using our Forms. After that, you can manually add these numbers to our Spinning Wheel app and spin it to choose the winner.

If this workaround meets your case, please specify the ID of your Form widget you’re using for signing up for email list, and we’ll implement the random number generation :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks for your response! Which Form field would be used to generate a random number?

The random number will be generated in the hidden field and can pull this number to the email subject :slightly_smiling_face:

Max, how do I generate a random number in the hidden form field? What do I put in the “Value” box? I tried a number of variations and I can’t get it to send a random number.

Here is my form if you’d like to take a look: Elfsight

I actually just ended up using Zapier to generate a random number and email/text it to the person, so no worries.
