📋Affiliate Applications
Projects can require potential affiliates to apply before joining their referral program. This gives you control over who promotes your project and lets you vet applicants before granting access.
How it works
Configure an application form — Define custom fields that applicants must fill out (audience size, channels, experience, etc.)
Affiliates apply — Potential affiliates submit the form with their information
Review applications — Your team reviews applications in the dashboard and approves, rejects, or puts them on hold
Approved affiliates join an audience — Approved applicants are added to a specific audience, which can have its own reward tiers and rules
Application statuses
Pending
Application received, awaiting review
Approved
Affiliate accepted — added to a designated audience with access to the referral program
Rejected
Application declined — a rejection reason can be provided
On Hold
Application saved for later review
All status decisions can include admin notes for internal record-keeping. Batch operations are available for processing multiple applications at once.
Managing applications
Applications are managed in the dashboard at Participants > Affiliate Applications. The management view includes:
Summary cards — Quick overview of total, pending, approved, rejected, and on-hold applications
Applications table — Dynamic columns based on your form fields, plus address, date, status, and admin notes
Search and sort — Find applications by user identifier, sort by date or status
Bulk actions — Select multiple applications and approve, reject, or hold in batch
Audience assignment
When approving an affiliate, you select a static audience to add them to. This audience determines what reward structure the affiliate receives (tier, multipliers, payout rules).
Combine affiliate applications with Audiences to create tiered affiliate programs — different tiers with different commission rates based on applicant quality or performance.
