# Referral tasks

> Set up a referral task to supercharge your campaign's growth.

## What are Referral tasks?

A Referral task incentivizes users to refer others to your Claimr campaign, expanding your reach and growing your community.

**Use Referral tasks to:**

* Increase campaign participation by encouraging users to invite their friends and contacts.
* Reward users for successful referrals, motivating them to spread the word about your campaign.
* Track the effectiveness of your referral program and identify your most influential advocates.
* Expand your audience and reach new potential customers.
* Build a strong community of engaged participants.

<Note>
  For detailed information about general task settings, including task name, header, description, rewards, dependencies, and more, refer to [Task Settings](/tasks/task-settings).
