# How to Set Up the Tracking Only Option for the Social Referral Tool
Race Roster offers a referral tool within the event dashboard that allows participants to act as promoters for the event by referring their friends and family to register. Promoters can receive monetary rewards for their efforts and successful referrals that the event has put in place.
Alternatively, our “Tracking only” option allows you to create your own incentives for promoters, such as promo codes for other events you organize, exclusive event merchandise, etc. For tracking only, there is no social referral commission associated. When selected, you can track how many successful referrals registered through a specific promoter link.
1\. From your event dashboard, click on **Add-Ons -\> Referrals** or, from your **Settings Overview**, add referrals to your event by enabling it from the add-ons section.
2\. Once you have added the referral feature, you will want to select **Yes** under **Enable social marketing tracking.**
3\. You will then want to select the option **Tracking Only** under **Payout Type**.
Event organizers will be able to keep track of your promoters' efforts from the **marketing** section of your **event dashboard**, or, by tracking referrals from your event's **transaction report** and filtering for referral transactions.
\* Please note Race Roster does not partner with any marketing companies directly
**Your participants can find their unique social referral link from their** [**Promoter Dashboard**](https://raceroster.com/dashboard/promoters)**.**
