Open in Introw: Affiliate campaigns

How it works

Affiliate campaigns live under Affiliate, shown as Affiliate Campaigns. You create a campaign with a name, a conversion form, and a destination URL, then configure it across tabs: general, commission, links, conversions, quality, and install. Generating links enrolls partners and produces their trackable referral links. Conversions are recorded against those links via a snippet or the conversions API. A campaign can pay a fixed amount per conversion or run on a commission plan, and you embed an affiliate campaign section in a portal experience so partners see their own performance.

Prerequisites

  • The campaigns module enabled on your plan.
  • Write access to campaigns.
  • A conversion form created in Forms.
  • Access to install a snippet on the destination site, or to call the conversions API.

Settings & configuration

Campaigns are managed at Affiliate campaigns.

Creating a campaign

Use New campaign and set the name, conversion form, and destination URL.

General

On the general tab, set the destination URL, conversion form, attribution window, and attribution model (last click or first click).

Commission

On the commission tab, turn on commissions and choose a fixed amount per conversion or a commission plan. The two options are mutually exclusive. On the links tab, use Generate links to enroll partners and create their referral links. The table shows clicks, conversions, and outcomes per partner.

Install

On the install tab, copy the tracking snippet, choose a conversion method, and set the allowed origins for browser tracking.

Portal visibility

Add an affiliate campaigns section to a portal experience so partners see their links and stats.

Limits & gotchas

Campaigns require the module to be enabled on your plan. Partners see no link in the portal embed until you generate links for them. A campaign pays either a fixed amount or via a commission plan, not both, so choose the model that fits the program.

Troubleshooting

  • The campaigns area is locked - the campaigns module is not enabled on your plan.
  • A partner has no link - you have not generated links for them yet.
  • Conversions are not recording - tracking is not installed, or the allowed origins exclude the site.
