Ask questions

Explore analytics

You can explore your account’s performance data, including metrics like clicks, actions, sales, and commissions, with the option to filter and compare results across a variety of dimensions.

  • An analytics query should always include a time frame like today, this week, last month, in the last X days, or between a start and end date.

  • If you ask for dates like this week, or last month, the time period will start on the day the period starts, e.g., Monday, first of the month, or first of the year.

  • If you ask for in the last X days the time period is calculated by counting backwards from today.

  • The time frame cannot span more than 365 days.

  • If you'd like to get the full list of measures and dimensions that you can query, simply ask "Which measures and dimensions can I query?"

Visualize with charts

ask impact supports data visualizations. Whenever you ask for data broken down over time—such as daily or monthly figures—a chart is generated to help show the trend.

If you’d like a specific chart type, request it directly by name, such as a line, area, or bar chart. If you don't specify a chart type, ask impact will respond with a bar chart.

Specify formatting

You can request that ask impact provides results in a specific format, including:

  • Unordered (or bullet point) list.

  • Ordered (or numbered) list.

  • Table.

  • Paragraph.

  • Plain English.

Make comparisons

Compare data across programs, or time periods. You can ask impact to compare 2 entities using the same metric, such as total clicks or revenue.

It’s also possible to compare data across time—whether you want to see how one month compares to another, evaluate year-over-year change, or measure performance over two custom periods.

You can ask impact to compare up to 2 elements at a time, such as 2 programs, or 2 dates.

Ask follow-up questions

ask impact supports natural, flowing interactions. Once you’ve asked a question, you can follow up with another request that builds on your previous one.

For example, after getting a total value, you might want to see how that number splits month by month, or you might switch to a different metric altogether.

There’s no need to rephrase the full question each time. The query's context is maintained, so you can keep exploring a line of inquiry without starting over.

Generate newsletters

You can ask impact to generate newsletters for you. The content will be crafted from a combination of your account data, and any additional information or links you provide in the prompt, resulting in a relevant and customized newsletter.

For example, you can ask: "Draft a short newsletter announcing the new collection of NBA City Edition jerseys and a special 15% off promotion for partners."

Get new partner recommendations

You can have ask impact recommend new partners that have not yet joined your program.

If you'd like to get new partner recommendations for your program, just ask “Can you recommend some partners to work with?” and ask impact will respond with 3 new partners for you to review and consider inviting.

You can filter partner recommendations by country by asking for recommendations and mentioning the country, for example:

  • Can you recommend new US partners to invite?

  • Can you recommend some partners in France?

You can also filter partner recommendations by the vertical you’re interested in, for example:

  • Recommend some partners in health & beauty.

  • Can you suggest some partners that promote travel and insurance?

Sort your partner recommendations based on their promotional style and method, for example:

  • Please recommend new influencer partners to invite.

  • Can you suggest some partners who do content reviews?

You can request recommendations that are similar to other partners:

  • Can you recommend new partners similar to ABC?.

Lastly, you can mix and match these recommendation requests, for example:
