Note: When you add new partners manually, they'll receive an email with your program invite and will be automatically joined to your program upon completing the signup form. If the partner hasn't yet joined impact.com, simply leave the Partner Id field blank.

* When adding new partners manually or in bulk, do not add more than 1 entry or email address for a single partner. Doing so can cause you to receive a surplus of notifications if the partner proposes changes to your template terms. 4. In the *Contract Dates* field, you can set: * *Start Date*: Use the date picker and drop-down menu to set a start date for when the template term should take effect. * *Length*: Use the drop-down menu to make your contract either *Ongoing* (with no defined end date) or *Temporary* (with an end date that you define). Optionally, use the checkbox to set a fallback template term that should take effect once the temporary contract ends. 5. In the *Approval Options* field, you can select: * *Replace*: This option automatically replaces any existing contract you may have with the added partner. * Select ![](https://4048883401-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FwMLlMoFBtKJa8ptd3zaw%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-d2954616dc486c3e12c9211e20ff376bda0ab1af%2F7586e04e82e7c7203e5c82320dd417f8ac564cae5035024fdf0eb2ed017e6376.svg?alt=media) **\[Checkbox]** to allow partners to immediately accept upcoming contract changes. * *Propose*: This option requires the added partner to approve the new template term before it can take effect. Use the checkboxes to set an *expiration date* that the partner must approve, or to prohibit counteroffers from the partner. * Optionally, select **\[Toggle on] Send an ad with this proposal for faster media partner integration** if you have an ad ready to go. 6. Optionally, in the *Comments* field, include a short message for the partners you've added. * This message will be sent via email and is limited to 1024 characters. 7.
