Friendbuy Destination
About this integration
Friendbuy is a referral marketing platform. This integration helps you capture data from your sources in Friendbuy, helping you enable referral programs. For example, you might trigger a reward for a customer when a referred person signs up for your service. With this destination, you can automate referrals from source events.
