On Workflow, you can generate tracking links and tracking scripts for each influencer for your campaigns. This will allow you to monitor the clicks for posts or blogs and views for blog articles per influencer in the Performance tab.
Tracking links will be automatically changed for each influencer in your publication instructions.
If you are a Shopify user, you can create and send affiliate links in addition to using a tracking link.
A tracking link is different from an affiliate link. Tracking links are used to count the number of visitors/clicks generated by one influencer. Affiliate links are often linked to a discount offer and it is used to track the number of sales generated by one influencer.
How to generate a tracking link
You have different ways to create tracking links, you can do it from your campaign settings or dashboard:
From your campaign dashboard
To add multiple influencers, use the link icon:
Select influencers you want to add your tracking link
Click on Add tracking links
Input the URL to track (don't forget the https:// otherwise the links won't be generated)
Click on "create links"
Check on influencers' profiles if the link has been generated properly.
To add specific links, click on their profile then add links:
Open one influencer side panel profile
Input the URL you want to track (don't forget the https:// otherwise the links won't be generated).
Click on add "tracking link"
From your campaign settings:
When you create your campaign, you can include a tracked link in the first step of your campaign creation. If you didn't set it during this step you still have the possibility to do it in your campaign settings.
NOTE: When you add a tracking link to your settings after your campaign creation, the tracking will be generated only for new profiles added to your campaign. It's not retroactive.
Go to your Campaign "settings"
Enable Tracked Links
Add your links
Click on "Update Campaign" to save it.
Where will be my tracking link in the publication instructions
In the publication instructions, in the last paragraph from the template, <%= link.source_url %> will become the URL you input and <%= link.tracking_url %> will become a unique link for each influencer.
How to check the total clicks and view
You can check the total clicks and views per link in the Performance tab in Workflow.
You have the possibility to download the Views Report and Clicks Report.
You can see the number of views only for blogs and if influencers added the rel="nofollow" attribute on HTML link tags.
