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.
The tracking link generator is only available if you are joined to at least one program (formerly known as a campaign). Note that some brands may choose to disable the link generator for their program. See this doc for more information on deep linking permissions.
Use this method if you want to quickly generate a tracking link that can redirect users to a specific page for a brand program.
