# How Do I Send Real-Time Notifications for Referrals?
> Notify your customers upon a successful referral using Gameball's real-time notifications.
Available for all Gameball customers except for free packages
When a customer refers a friend they will want to know if their referral was completed. It is important to notify your customer instantaneously with a message that tells them their referral was successful. You might also want to send a notification when they receive a reward for that successful referral.

## How to Create Real-Time Notifications for Referrals
In the **Gameball Admin Dashboard**, from the left bar, click **Notifications**. Choose between **In-App, Emails, & SMS**. Scroll to **Referrals** and select between **Successful Referral** and **Referred Friend Achievement**.
Construct a heading and a body for the notification. In case you are creating an email notification, write a clear subject line and body. [Learn how to write an email notification](/product-documentation/instant-notifications/email-notifications/sending-achievement-emails).
Add your message script for each referral notification type:
Send real-time transaction notifications for every successful referral. Inform your customer when the friend they referred has completed the required action.
If you reward your customers when their referral attempt becomes successful, ensure that your customer receives a real-time notification informing them that they have received an award due to their successful referral attempt.
To send more personalized, relevant, and clear notifications, add variables in between your messages by clicking the **+ icon**.
You can use variables in the scripts like the ones below:

* **Referral Variables:** Equivalent value of total points, Equivalent value of earned points, Currency, Points Name, Referral Link, Mobile Referral Link.
Before activating the notification, click **Preview** on the top right of the edit page to see what the notification will look like for customers.
You can edit the notification icon by choosing **Upload Icon**, then click **Upload Icon**.
Click **Update** from the bottom right.
Enable or disable the notification through the **Active Toggle**.
Do not forget to click on "**Save**" before you exit.
