How To Create Partner Platform Banners In Communication Hub

Learn how to use Communication Hub Partner Banners to deliver critical messages, promotions, and personalized offer details directly to your partners' dashboards, ensuring your communications are never missed.

The Challenge: Are Your Best Offers Getting Seen?

Imagine this: you have a high-performing offer ready for your top partners. Your goal is to get it in front of them immediately to drive revenue. The obstacle? You're relying on an email that might get buried in a crowded inbox. It’s a strategy based on hope. You send the message and hope the right people see it in time.

What if you could move from hope to certainty?

The Solution: Direct Dashboard Messaging

Instead of hoping your message is seen, Communication Hub Partner Platform Banners let you place it where it can’t be missed: directly on your partners' dashboards.

They transform your communication from a passive request into an active, unmissable announcement in your partner's workspace. This is how you ensure your best campaigns get the attention they deserve.

How to Create a Targeted Partner Banner

This guide walks through creating an 'Offer Showcase' banner, but the process is similar for all types.

Create the Banner Message

First, you'll build the visual part of the banner.

Navigate to Communication Hub in the left-hand menu.

Under Create Partner Banner, click the Quick Start button.

Select Use Design Guides from the dropdown menu.

Choose Offer Carousel Guide. This template is the fastest way to promote offers, as it automatically creates a clean layout with offer details and tracking links.

Enter a Banner Name for your own reference (e.g., "Q4 Insurance Offer").

Click the Select the Offer(s) you want to share button.

In the window that appears, check the boxes next to the offers you want to feature and click Save Selection.

The offers will now appear in the editor as pre-formatted cards. Add any additional text you need.

Click Next to proceed.

Define Your Audience

This is where you move from blasting everyone to targeting precisely. Instead of a generic message, you'll show this banner only to the specific partners you want to reach.

On the Audience screen, click Add Audience Group.

Click Audience Rule to open the rule builder.

Set the Condition for your rule. For example, to target only your active partners who work in the Insurance vertical, you would set two rules:

Rule 1: Status > is > Active

Rule 2: Labels > is > Insurance

Click Add Rule after setting up each one. The list of Potential Recipients on the right will update to show exactly who will see this banner.

Once your audience is defined, click Next.

Review and Schedule

Finally, you'll preview the banner and set its publication schedule.

On the Review screen, you will see a preview of your banner.

Use the View as the recipient dropdown to select a specific partner and confirm the banner appears correctly for them.

Click the Save, Publish or Schedule button.

In the pop-up window, select the Schedule tab.

Set a Start Date and an Expire Date for the banner. You really have full control on the scheduling and can also specify a specific timezone.

You can also set the banner as High Priority, which means it will appear at the front of the carousel for a partner when they log in.

Click Confirm. Your banner is now scheduled.

Customizing Your Offer Carousel

Your partners don't need to see every detail about an offer. A clean, targeted view is the best way to drive action.

That's why Everflow gives you complete control over what your partners see in the offer carousel. When you're editing your banner, you're not just selecting offers. You're curating the data that goes with them.

You have the power to select which offer details are visible to partners, including:

Thumbnail: A small image to represent the offer.
Category: The vertical or niche of the offer (e.g., Finance, Gaming).
Visibility: Whether the offer is public, private, or visible to a specific group.
Currency: The currency in which the payout is made.
Payout: The exact amount or percentage a partner will earn per conversion.
Channels: The allowed promotion methods for the offer.
Coupon Codes: Any special codes associated with the offer.
Targeting: Any geo-targeting or platform targeting rules.
Caps: Any daily or monthly conversion limits. The Caps option will only say 'enabled' on the partner's side, and they can click to view the full offer area.

Macros are the secret sauce here. When you add an offer to the banner, the system automatically inserts a macro (a small piece of code) that acts as a placeholder. For example, a macro like {partner_tracking_link} automatically gets replaced with the correct, unique tracking link for each individual partner.

This means you only need to build the banner once, and the system handles the rest, ensuring every partner gets their own specific link without any extra work on your end.

Note When it comes to offers in your carousel, the system has built-in smarts to handle partner access. This ensures that your partners only ever see what they are supposed to. Here’s how it works:

If an offer is set to Require Approval, partners will see an Apply button on the offer card instead of a tracking link.

If a private offer is in the carousel and a partner has not been added to it, they simply will not see that offer. It is automatically hidden from their view.

The Bottom Line

The challenge isn't just having great offers; it's making sure the right partners know about them. By using Partner Banners, you shift from hoping your emails get read to knowing your message is seen. You can stop guessing and start targeting, turning uncertainty into predictable results.
