Overview

This guide demonstrates the Partner discovery process from the perspectives of an Advertiser, as well as how to request and manage connections. All of which you can do directly inside the Everflow platform.

The Discovery section highlights potential partnerships based on alignment of offerings and requirements, while the Manage Connections section allows you to do just that.

Marketplace Discovery

Click the hamburger icon from the left side menu, and navigate to Marketplace. Then, select Discovery.

There will be one to two tabs available at the top of the screen.

  • Partner Discovery (pictured below)

  • Advertiser Discovery

In the Marketplace Discovery tab, you will see Featured Partners, Recommended Partners and a full list of Potential Partners to connect with.

Marketplace Recommendations suggest the best Partner matches for Advertisers using an algorithm that analyzes your requirements and other relevant factors. Advertisers can discover relevant Partners, while Partners can find suitable Advertisers.

Marketplace Recommendations creates new opportunities to grow your business by simplifying partnerships.

Check out the following tools available for customizing your search within both Partner Discovery and Advertiser Discovery:

  • Filters: Narrow down potential partnerships based on specific data.

    • The Status filter will display only the prospects based on their status in the Managed Connections, such as Connected or Pending Approval.

  • Sort By: You can sort by 'Top Matches' or 'Date Added'

  • View: You can choose to view your connections in a grid or in a table.

The Match Score is based on an algorithm that considers requirements and other data points.

Marketplace Connection (View In Dashboard)

To view Awaiting, Pending, and Recommended Partners in your Dashboard, navigate to Dashboard - Customization Cards > Marketplace Connection.

For more details on any connection status, click the respective button for that status - "Awaiting", "Pending", or "Recommendations".

For example, clicking the "Recommendations" button will display the full list of recommended Partners along with additional details and options to connect.


Partner Discovery

Navigate to Marketplace - Discovery > Partner Discovery. This is where you can search and connect with a curated list of high-quality partners.

Click the Learn More button for any partner to find out details about their program. You can read about the categories, locations, platforms, payout types and promotional methods that work best for them.

Adding Relationships

Step #1

Click Invite for the desired Partner.


You can either create a new account for them, or you can group them under an existing partner if you are already connected manually.

Selecting Customize Visibility allows you to pre-approve Offers that you want to automatically set up in the Partner's platform. Please note that all Public offers will already be approved for this Partner.

You may also personalize the invitation, if desired.

Step #2

Once the Partner approves your request, you will receive confirmation via email.

Step #3

Navigate to Partners - Manage, then click the partner you connected with via Marketplace. Once set up, the Partner is managed with the same process as any existing partners.

The tracking setup is automatically implemented for successfully recording Conversions and Events. When an Offer is approved for the partner, it will immediately feed into their platform and allow them to start delivering traffic.

Step #4

To edit the offer visibility for the partner, simply click the Visibility tab. For a more detailed guide on visibility - [Click Here]

Manage Connections

There are two ways to reach the Manage Connections screen.

  1. Navigate to Marketplace - Manage Connections. (A notification bubble with a number will be visible on the left-side menu when a connection is "Awaiting Your Approval".)

  2. From your Dashboard, click one of the links on the Marketplace Connections card.

    • You may need to add this card to your dashboard first (see gif below: click the toggle button in upper right corner to customize cards and add Marketplace Connections.)

You will see the following tabs:

  • Connected Partners

  • Connected Advertisers

  • Awaiting Your Approval

  • Pending Approval

Connected Partners/Brands: List of all approved connections. At the end of each row, you can Generate Tracking Links for specific Offers or Partners.

Awaiting Your Approval: These are connections that have applied to work with you. You can view their profile, respond to their request and contact them directly.

Pending Approval: These are connections to which you have applied and are awaiting approval. You can contact them directly, view their profile, or edit your request at any time by clicking the vertical dots to Edit Invite.


Marketplace Notifications

  • If you receive an invitation to connect with a Partner or Advertiser through the Marketplace, you will receive one email notification.

  • Once you have accumulated eight or more unanswered connection requests, an orange notification will appear in the Marketplace prompting you to click Manage Connections and Accept or Decline connections.

  • Additionally, you may add a Marketplace Connection card to their Dashboard to stay on top of pending connections. For more information on customizing your dashboard - [Click Here]
