@Ryan Hartman is there a way to send to a single absentee owner without setting up a CSV for only one (of very few) absentee owners? When manually adding do I put "absentee" on custom1 and Property address on Custom2?

@Ryan Hartman Is there a way to make a recipient to do a task before redeeming the gift card? I want to send friends/family/clients a gift card if they give me a google review?
