# How can I create a manual referral reward for a specific customer?

You can create a referral by following these steps:

1. **Find the Customer Profile:** Start by searching for the [customer's profile](broken://pages/lbkFpUWedwL4VjsAIwfe) and clicking on their name to access their details.
2. **Submit Referral:** On the customer's profile page, locate and click on the "Submit referral" button near the top of the screen.
3. **Enter Referral Details:** Next, select the appropriate location for the referral and enter the referred friend's email address. This customer [will earn referral points](/features/referrals/completing-a-referral.md) under these two scenarios:
   1. If this referred person HAS NOT earned points at your business already, then the referral will be not be completed immediately. The referral will be completed later, automatically after the referee takes a qualifying action, such as checking in, taking a class, or making a purchase. See [referrals](/features/referrals.md) for more information on how referrals are completed automatically.
   2. If the referred person HAS already earned points, a message will appear saying, "\[email] has earned points from your business. Are you sure you want to submit this person as a referral?" The referrer will earn the referral bonus (points or instant reward, as configured) immediately if you click submit.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.perkville.com/faqs/referrals/how-can-i-create-a-manual-referral-reward-for-a-specific-customer.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
