Creating and sharing your referral code

Creating one

Go to Settings → Referral programme and enter the code you want.

Creating your first code is also what enrols you in the programme. There is no separate sign-up.

What a code can be

• Three to 32 characters.
• Letters, numbers, hyphens and underscores only.
• Lower case. Anything you type is lower-cased for you.

Pick something a colleague would associate with you and could type from memory, like your surname. A string of characters nobody can remember only works as a link, and half of referrals happen in conversation rather than over a link.

Your link

Each code has a link in the form rhazes.ai/r/yourcode. Copy it from the dashboard.

The link and the code are two routes to the same thing. Use the link where you can paste one, and give the code where you are talking to someone.

Two codes maximum

You can have up to two. That is usually one for general use and one for a specific audience, such as a talk or a departmental rollout, so you can tell which one is actually working.

Codes can be disabled, not deleted

A code you no longer want can be switched off, which stops it working for anyone new. It cannot be removed.

That is deliberate. Links you have already shared live on in emails, slide decks and chat threads long after you have forgotten posting them, and a deleted code would leave those pointing at nothing. Disabling keeps the code attached to your account while stopping it being used.

If you have both codes and want a new one, you will have to disable one to make the point moot, since the limit counts codes rather than active codes.

Sharing it well

The honest pitch works better than a link with no context. Colleagues want to know what it did for your week, not that it exists.

Say what you actually use it for, mention that the code gets them a discount, and let them try the free plan first. A referral that subscribes two months later still counts.
