# Manual Review & Confirmation

By default, referrals are confirmed automatically as they happen, but there might be instances where you want to manually review and approve them before confirming them. Tracking three conversion events with the additional referral status "Unconfirmed" allows you to manually review and approve them.

Here are a few examples of why you might want to use this feature:

1. **Security**

   Your product and/or rewards are a high value item and you want to create a small barrier between the default automatic confirmation of a referral, giving you time to review each referral.
2. **High-Ticket Product**

   Your product is a high-ticket item or involves a long sales process and you don't want to confirm a successful referral until a purchase takes place.
3. **Offline Purchase**

   You generate leads and referrals online but your customer completes their purchase offline at a retail store or office (ie. salon, wedding services, car dealership, etc).

## **How can I confirm referrals?**

When you "confirm a referral", the referral status will change for that referral from **Unconfirmed** to **Confirmed**. To confirm a referral you can either:

1\. Go to their profile page and click on the **Confirm referral** button

2\. Go to the *Subscribers* page, and for the referral you want to confirm click *Actions > Confirm*

3\. Use our native [Zapier integration](/campaign-builder/integrations/zapier.md) to confirm the referral (ie. you have a CRM system and when the purchase is confirmed within the CRM, you also want to trigger a referral confirmation in ReferralHero)

4\. Use the [Confirm Subscriber endpoint](/integrate/rest-api/endpoint-reference-v1.md#confirm-referral) using our REST API (ie. none of the other confirmation methods will work for your use case and you want to confirm a referral using our API)

## 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://support.referralhero.com/campaign-management/subscribers/subscriber-profile/manual-review.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.
