# Create Tracking Links
Take the PXA course
When you partner with a brand, you'll gain access to a range of assets you can promote. These assets have tracking links that allow impact.com to track any conversions (e.g., sales) you drive, which may lead to payouts from the brand.
You can place a tracking link on your promotional sites or social media posts, or attach it to an image or text you've created. When a user follows the link, they'll be directed to the brand's landing page, and credit for driving the click will be attributed to your impact.com account.
## Create a tracking link for a specific brand program
Use 1 of these methods to get a tracking link that can drive traffic to a specific page for a brand program.
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Dashboard widget" %}
{% hint style="danger" %}
**Important:** The tracking link generator is only available if you've joined at least 1 program. Some brands disable the link generator or don't allow deep linking for their program.
{% endhint %}
1. On your partner [dashboard](https://app.impact.com/secure/mediapartner/home/pview.ihtml), navigate to the *Create a link* widget.
2. In the search box, paste a *landing page URL*, or enter a *brand* or *campaign* name. A slideout opens with your generated link:
* **Landing page** — Creates a deep link directly to that page.
* **Brand** — Creates a link to the brand program's default landing page.
* If you've activated the free [Trackonomics Essentials add-on](https://impact.com/trackonomics-essentials/), you can search for a brand, and see every network you've connected that has a link for that brand.
* **Campaign** — If you're joined to a brand's campaign, the slideout shows 2 tabs:
* *Create Link* for a general program link
* *Active Campaigns* for a campaign-specific link. The slideout opens on the *Active Campaigns* tab. Select a campaign task from the drop-down menu to generate a link for that task.
{% hint style="info" %}
**You don't have to search for a brand first.** Find the exact page you want to promote, copy its URL, and paste it straight into the search bar. The slideout will match it to the right program, fill in the details, and provide you with a tracking link that's ready to copy. This tracking link is a short link by default and may need a minute to start working.
{% endhint %}
3. Optionally, customize your link from the slideout:
* **Choose the program** — If the brand has more than 1 program to which you're joined, select the program you're interested in from the drop-down menu.
* **Add a landing page** — Add a landing page URL to send users to a specific page instead of the default landing page.
* **Add a media property** — Media properties that can be added to a tracking link include websites, social media apps, or mobile apps that were enabled and added to your [Marketplace Profile](/partner/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/working-with-brands/applying-to-brands/profile-management/update-and-manage-your-public-profile.md#additional-information).
* **Add reporting parameters** — Select **Advanced**  **\[Drop-down menu]** to add *Sub IDs* or *Shared IDs*. Learn more about [adding reporting information to your tracking links](/partner/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/tracking/tracking-links/create-and-manage-links/add-reporting-information-to-your-tracking-links.md).
* **Create a vanity link** — Select  **\[Edit]** to edit the URL slug. Learn more about [creating vanity links](/partner/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/tracking/tracking-links/create-and-manage-links/create-manage-vanity-link.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://help.impact.com/partner/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/tracking/tracking-links/create-and-manage-links/create-tracking-links.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
