You can now choose from three assignment methods for total flexibility.

  2. Choose your assignment method:

    • Manual
    • Auto (Attribution)
    • Custom Mapping

  3. Configure additional fields based on the method

  4. Save and publish the workflow

Assignment Methods

  1. Manual: Manually assign a lead to a known affiliate in a specific campaign. Best for: Form submissions, internal routing, admin decisions.

Steps:

- Select campaign
- Select affiliate (from affiliates in that campaign)

2. Auto (Attribution via URL): Automatically assign leads using am_id passed in the URL parameters. Supports first or last click attribution.

Steps:

- Choose Attribution Method: First / Last
- Make sure am_id is passed earlier in the funnel (e.g., form/page URL)

3. Custom Mapping: Use if am_id is stored in a custom field or passed as a workflow value. Best for: API pushes, third-party systems, hidden fields on forms.

Steps:

- Choose mapping source: custom field or workflow value
- System reads value and assigns the lead to the matching affiliate

Use Cases

  • Reward Lead Generation Example: A lead fills a form → system assigns them to the affiliate who shared the link → sends a “Congrats!” email.
  • Custom Lead Nurturing Example: Leads from a funnel are assigned to specific affiliates for 1-on-1 follow-up — boosting conversion rates.
  • Simplify Administrative Tasks Example: Replace manual lead assignments with automation — perfect for busy teams managing many affiliates.
