A How-To Guide: HTML or Email

Navigate to Offers - Creatives. Then click [+ Creative]. Select Email or HTML. (Please note Email and HTML are grouped together since the only difference between them are From & Subject fields.)

General

  • Select Email or HTML under Creative Type.
    If you've selected Email, you will be prompted to enter the 'From' and 'Subject' fields.

HTML

Email

  • Click Next.

A Note About Using Dynamic Macros

You can insert macros to dynamically populate the Creatives for your Partners automatically.
โ€‹
For example, to include the Partner Tracking Link so that it's embedded in the Creative itself, use one of the following: macro:

  • {tracking_link} This macro is associated with the Conversion Method configured at the Offer level, so it could be either a Direct Link or traditional redirect link.

  • {tracking_link_redirect} Use this macro if your offer is configured for Direct Linking, as the redirect must be enforced for dynamic creatives to function properly.

Build (HTML Only)

You can either Build From Zip File or Manually Build, by selecting the respective tab.

Build From Zip File

Manually Build

Upload your zip file. Once successfully loaded, the Zip File Components are scanned, divided, and displayed in two boxes: HTML and Assets.

In the HTML box, the code from the zip file is displayed. Here, all the links that are highlighted in yellow can be modified by clicking the small pencil icon or highlighted link.

Then, you may browse through links quickly in the popup modal, and use a dropdown to replace links with macros.

By clicking one of the highlighted links, you may replace it with another uploaded asset listed from the dropdown menu with preexisting macros.

Bulk Edit (Optional)

At this point, you also have the option to perform a Bulk Edit in case you already have multiple links or multiple image links to replace with the same macro. (i.e. changing multiple links with the same Tracking Link).

Select either Links or Image Links to access a table of all assets in checkbox form. Check the links to replace and select from the dropdown menu what you would like to replace the selection with.

Input your HTML code directly into the text box. Then, upload your assets.

To delete an asset, simply hover over the selection and click the X at the top right corner.

  • Click Next.

Review

Regardless of your build method, the entirety of the code is displayed and editable here.
