# Add an Individual Participant, Reward, or Referral

Usually, we receive event participant, reward, and referral information through one of your data integrations or a [bulk import](https://integrations.impact.com/impact-brand/docs/bulk-import-methods). You can also manage these individually. Adding data manually will trigger any program automation such as goals and rewards.
