Drip runs on Liquid, so once the fields are there you can both print them and branch workflows on them without any extra plumbing. ## Integration Steps ### Authorize Drip Open **Program Editor > 4. Options > Integrations** and search for Drip. Searching for Drip in the GrowSurf Program Editor integrations listSearch the integrations list in Program Editor > 4. Options > Integrations. Expand the card and select **Connect to Drip**. The Drip integration card in GrowSurf with the Connect to Drip buttonConnecting opens Drip’s own sign-in and authorization screen. Sign in to Drip and authorize GrowSurf. ### Pick the account and the tag Drip supports multiple accounts under one login, so choose the account first, then the tag that should receive GrowSurf participants. People are added or updated there whenever someone joins or gets referred. Connect before importing participants. If they are already in the program, use the [existing-participant sync options](https://support.growsurf.com/article/385-how-can-i-sync-my-growsurf-participants-to-my-esp). ### Know your custom fields | GrowSurf data | Liquid identifier | Type | What it holds | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Share URL | {{ subscriber.grsf_share_url }} | Text | The participant’s unique referral link | | Participant ID | {{ subscriber.grsf_participant_id }} | Text | The participant’s GrowSurf ID | | Referral Status | {{ subscriber.grsf_participant_id }} | Text | CREDIT_PENDING, CREDIT_AWARDED, or CREDIT_EXPIRED | | Participant first name | {{ subscriber.grsf_participant_first_name }} | Text | The participant’s first name | | Participant last name | {{ subscriber.grsf_participant_last_name }} | Text | The participant’s last name | | Referrer first name | {{ subscriber.grsf_referrer_first_name }} | Text | The referrer’s first name, when there is one | | Referrer last name | {{ subscriber.grsf_referrer_last_name }} | Text | The referrer’s last name, when there is one | | Referrer email | {{ subscriber.grsf_referrer_email }} | Text | The referrer’s email, when there is one | | Total referral count | {{ subscriber.grsf_total_referral_count }} | Number | All-time referral count | | Monthly referral count | {{ subscriber.grsf_monthly_referral_count }} | Number | Referral count for the current month | | Previous monthly referral count | {{ subscriber.grsf_prev_monthly_referral_count }} | Number | Referral count for the previous month | | Next milestone | {{ subscriber.grsf_next_milestone }} | Text | The next milestone message, on programs with milestone rewards | | Next monthly milestone | {{ subscriber.grsf_next_monthly_milestone }} | Text | The next monthly milestone message, when there is one | | Total invite count | {{ subscriber.grsf_total_invite_count }} | Number | All-time invite count | | Total impression count | {{ subscriber.grsf_total_impression_count }} | Number | All-time referral-link view count | Drip reads these through the `subscriber` object in Liquid. ### Use the tag as a workflow trigger Drip workflows can start on tag applied. Pointing GrowSurf at a dedicated tag gives you an automatic entry point for a referral welcome sequence with no extra configuration. ## Tips #### Right account, right tag If you manage several Drip accounts, confirm which one you selected. The fields are created in that account only. #### The tag earns its keep twice It scopes the sync and triggers your workflow. Use a tag reserved for this program rather than a general one. #### Connect first The sync covers people added after connecting, not before.

One Drip login can own several accounts, so GrowSurf needs to know which one holds the tag. #### What is the Liquid identifier for the referral link? `{{ subscriber.grsf_share_url }}`. ## Turn word of mouth into steady growth from your customers Launch a refer-a-friend or affiliate program that lowers your acquisition costs and builds customer loyalty, with little engineering work.
