Hello
Following my question here I’m suggesting this feature.https://meta.discourse.org/t/tracking-signups-from-referrals/56521/8?u=wil
I think shared content leading to a signup should count as an invitation
I believe users are more likely to share interesting content than send email invitations.
Each time a user lands on Discourse through a ?u=username link and then signs up, this should be counted as an invitation by @username
This could appear like this on the user profile (screen from /users/username/invited/redeemed in french )
Pros
Able to track influencers based on actual signups not only traffic
Removing steps to invite people (literally 2 clicks away on any URL)
Cons
Risk of fake signups (but no incremental risk compared to email invitations)
Who else is interested in this?
Any comments or ideas?

I like this idea, and I don’t think its too hard to implement.
I think if you share a link on twitter that somehow leads to someone signing up you had some influence on the account creation and this should be tracked.
I am putting a pr-welcome

What exactly is expected here?
From a developer’s point of view:
include a schema change (to add a referred_by field to table users)
look for the parameter that says who is the referral and store it in a session
change sign up mechanism to save the referral field from sessions into the referred_by field
From an administrator’s view of point:
dashboard with statistics that show the user that brought the most users
and the user who brought most visitors (did not register an account)
From a user’s view of point:
can he specify the name of the user that referred him even though he did not do that by giving him a link
should the part that is used for link sharing to be modified to also include the referral parameter

Sure, but this is stretch-goal territory.
Same as above I think, but I’m also not entirely clear on what you’re proposing here. Could you please rephrase, with a bit more detail?

Nevermind. I did not notice that ?u=<username> part in the links that are shared and thought that this is a requirement as well.

I’d love to see this feature also! This would be extremely useful. Any updates on this?

This will likely be part of this year’s GSoC. Stay tuned

It did not get picked up for GSoC, but if @nbianca or anyone else wants to take this on we’d be happy to sponsor the work.
Not looking to go off the topic, but my question here seems not far off from this one
Ok, we are looking to add a custom field column (primary group) in the admin panel/ users tab, users list.
(It makes no difference in column order, I just stuck it there in the example where I stitched the pics together I had room)
If not under all user tabs, at least under new users tab.
This would be what I’m talking about:

Any idea how to add this?
I want to do this.
How does the sponsorship work?

I’ll send you a pm about it.
我们最近确实对邀请功能进行了大量调整 @sam ，你想来分类处理这个吗？

Wil:
我认为通过分享内容引导用户注册应被视为邀请 。
OP 所描述的内容目前并非我们现有的功能，其核心概念如下：
我分享：Tracking signups from shared content
我们在会话中存储一条记录，表明“是 Sam 将此人带到了本站”
稍后该用户创建账户
该账户被归因于"Sam"
从技术上讲，实现这一功能并不难，@codinghorror 预计大约需要一周时间来完成所有细节处理和 UI 调整，并确保整体一致性。请告知您希望何时安排此项工作。

哦，是的，感谢澄清，这确实超出了我们的预期。我认为分享帖子是一种“隐含”邀请，而非“明确”邀请。
我主要希望确保如果某人接受了邀请，那么这些“明确”的邀请会被记录在案。

我也对它非常感兴趣。
