Activity Level Grouping
Flexoffers released an exclusive feature to automatically help you organize your affiliate publishers by activity and identify who is actively promoting and who is referring paying customers. You may also filter the pre-defined groups to see publishers sending clicks with no sales or no clicks (Inactive). You can use the Groups column filter on the Publisher List page and Message Center Address Book to view the “Groups” column which will display an “Inactive” for any publisher not sending at least one click referral within the past 30 days. If a publisher is referring clicks, without a sale converting, it will display “Click Active” and Publishers who have referred sales in the past 30 days will show as “Revenue Active” or display "View Groups 1+" symbol.
(***Note: Auto-grouping of recently approved publishers occurs at the beginning of following week.)
Click the funnel icon to Filter.
Creating and Managing Publisher Groups
Creating publisher groups makes it easier to manage and optimize managing your affiliate programs. You can create custom publisher groups based on an any criteria you want to sort your partners by.
