# Configuring your referral program

Configure your referral program by working through the steps below. Each step has its own page so you can review or update one part of your referral setup at a time.

2. [Define the reward for completed referrals](/features/referrals/configuring-your-referral-program/define-the-reward-for-completed-referrals.md)
3. [Configure the referral form layout](/features/referrals/configuring-your-referral-program/configure-the-referral-form-layout.md)
4. [Customize the call to action](/features/referrals/configuring-your-referral-program/customize-the-call-to-action.md)

## Referral offer

After configuring your referral earning activity, create the offer that customers can share with their friends. See [Referral offer](/features/referrals/configuring-your-referral-program/referral-offer.md) for the setup fields and claim options.

## 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/features/referrals/configuring-your-referral-program.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.
