Add Affiliates: Manually, by CSV, from Contacts or with Workflows
There are four ways to grow your affiliate list. Pick the one that matches where your future partners already are.
Add One Affiliate
- Go to Marketing > Affiliate Manager and open the Affiliates page.
- Click Add and choose New Affiliate.
- Enter their details and assign them to a campaign.
- Click Save.
Upload a Spreadsheet
- On the Affiliates page click Add, then Upload Affiliate.
- Download the sample CSV and fill it in with your affiliates.
- Upload the finished file and click Save. Everyone is added in one go.
Convert Existing Contacts
- Click Add, then Import from Contacts.
- Select the contacts who should become affiliates.
- Click Import.
This is ideal when your best promoters are already customers in Vendi Today.
Automate It with Workflows
Workflows can add and manage affiliates without any clicking. Available actions:
- Add to Affiliate Manager: Adds a contact as an active affiliate.
- Update Affiliate: Marks an affiliate as active or inactive.
- Add to Affiliate Campaign: Places an affiliate in a chosen campaign.
- Remove from Affiliate Campaign: Takes them out of a campaign.
For example, a form submission on your "Become a partner" page could trigger a workflow that creates the affiliate, enrolls them in your main campaign and sends a welcome email.
After They Join
New affiliates in a live campaign receive an invitation to the Affiliate Portal if the invite email setting is on.
Good to know: Bulk additions work best with clean, unique email addresses, which also prevents duplicate contact records.
