Configuration file
Behind the scenes, ReferralHero uses a configuration file that contains all the properties of your campaign (eg: the colour of the button, the text in the header, which social buttons to show, etc).
You can manually override every single setting by using a custom configuration file. To do so, simply instantiate a global window.RHConfig object BEFORE the Tracking Pixel.
The custom Configuration file must be instantiated before the Tracking Pixel or else it won't work.
This is useful when you want to change something (ie: the header or the colour of the button) "on-the-fly" or or only on specific pages. Please be aware that you don't need to specify every single property. Simply add the settings that you want to change and ReferralHero will use your campaign defaults for the other settings.
Below you can see the ReferralHero configuration file. Most properties are obvious, for others we have added a short description.
