# Using Instant Prize History

{% hint style="danger" %}
This feature is discontinued and replaced by the Winner History which we feel is more easier to use
{% endhint %}

The Instant Prize History page is built into our custom Instant Prize plugin. You can find it in the Admin menu at the top.

When you access the page and have instant winners it will look like this:

There are a lot of features on this page to make it seamless and easy to find instant winners.&#x20;

### How does the Instant Prize History work?

It works off orders that have instant wins, so will automatically be sorted in Order creation date, as you scroll down it will add more and more to the list from older orders.

You can also use the search navigation to find specific Order ID's or find all of a customers instant wins by pasting in their email address.

### How should I be using the Instant Prize History?

You should check the list frequently, when you get an email notification its recommended to then visit the prize history page to validate the email.

Clicking the button "Not dealt with" will show up all the instants you have not ticked.

We recommend ticking each Instant Win/Order once you have paid them. If you have paid them, mark it as dealt with, then you and your team will know what has and what hasn't been dealt with effectively.

The Instant Prize history is the absolute source of truth, unlike emails which can be spoofed, sent by cheaters to replicate the instant notification you normally get, the instant prize history cannot be altered or changed.

{% hint style="info" %}
The Instant Prize History is always being updated, if you have any feedback let us know!
{% endhint %}

### Integrations with our other plugins

Instant Prize History also integrated with our Payout plugin [Using Instant Payouts](/competition-docs/instant-prizes/using-instant-payouts.md) which means you can mark physical prize payouts as paid. The payout plugin intends to minimise your Admin by giving winners a choice between Site Credit and the Physical/Cash alternative they originally won.

## 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://competitions.gitbook.io/competition-docs/instant-prizes/using-instant-prize-history.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.
