Inviting affiliates sends them an email invitation to join your program, giving them access to their affiliate dashboard and tracking links once they accept.
How to Invite Affiliates
- Go to your Affiliate Dashboard
- Click the "Invite Affiliate" button (top right)
- Fill out the invitation form
- Click "Send Invitation"
The affiliate will receive an email with an accept link to join your program.
Invitation Form Options
When inviting an affiliate, you can configure several options:
Email (Required)
The affiliate's email address where the invitation will be sent.
Name (Optional)
Pre-fill the affiliate's display name. If left empty, they'll enter it during onboarding.
Tracking ID (Optional)
Assign a custom tracking ID for the affiliate's referral links. The system checks availability in real-time. If left empty, the affiliate can choose their own during onboarding.
Affiliate Group
Select which group to assign the affiliate to. Groups determine commission rates and other settings. Choose from:
- Your default group (pre-selected)
- Any custom group you've created (e.g., "Influencers", "Blog Partners", "Integration Partners")

Skip Onboarding
When enabled, the affiliate skips the standard onboarding flow (name entry, tracking ID selection) and goes directly to their dashboard. Use this when you've already pre-filled their name and tracking ID.
Invitation Limits
Important: Only invite affiliates who have previously agreed to join your program. Unsolicited invitations can be considered spam.
To prevent spam and ensure system stability, there are limits on how many invitations you can send:
- Monthly Limit: 75 invitations per month
- Daily Limit: 15 invitations per day
- Hourly Limit: 5 invitations per hour
- Rate Limit: 1 invitation per minute
These limits apply per team and reset automatically. If you reach a limit, you'll see an error message with information about when you can send invitations again.
What Happens When You Invite an Affiliate
The affiliate receives an email invitation with an "Accept Invitation" link. Once they click it, they get access to their affiliate portal where they can generate tracking links, view performance, and access marketing materials. They become an active part of your program and can start promoting immediately.
