When you publish a giveaway post tagged in Airtable, the workflow monitors Meta comment webhooks for required hashtag and @mention, validates follower status via Graph API, logs entrants in Google Sheets, excludes duplicates and bots using heuristics, randomly selects winners at configured end time, sends DM winner notifications via Meta API, and creates fulfillment tasks in Asana for prize shipping.

Some steps run in preview until their integrations go live.

Frequently asked questions

International entrants?

Follower check works globally; add country field on fulfillment form for shipping restrictions.

Re-select if winner unresponsive?

Enable backup winner count; auto-DM backups if primary doesn't confirm within 48 hours.

Comment edits counted?

Only first valid comment per user ID is logged.

Legal compliance?

Include `no purchase necessary` text in post template; workflow does not provide legal copy.
