Getting Started
This flow gets you from zero to a measurable live campaign.Before you begin
Confirm:- workspace owner/admin responsibilities are clear
- billing method is configured for expected launch volume
- naming conventions for campaigns, links, and events are agreed
- analytics and finance stakeholders agree on reconciliation process
Recommended setup owner roles
| Step | Primary owner | Secondary reviewer |
|---|---|---|
| Workspace setup | Workspace owner/admin | Security/admin reviewer |
| Campaign setup | Growth operator | Analyst/finance reviewer |
| Link and rule setup | Campaign operator | QA reviewer |
| Conversion setup | Technical operator | Analyst reviewer |
| Launch verification | Analyst | Workspace owner |
Step 1: Set up your workspace
In Workspace Settings:- Confirm workspace name and logo.
- Confirm default currency for reporting.
- Invite teammates and assign roles.
- Review plan capabilities before launch.
- Workspace branding is correct.
- Default currency matches finance preference.
- Required admins are invited and active.
- Plan gates for intended features are available.
Step 2: Create a campaign
In Campaigns:- Create a campaign with clear naming.
- Choose cost model and reporting currency.
- Confirm campaign-level objectives and ownership.
- Campaign naming follows your taxonomy.
- Cost model reflects commercial reality.
- Currency is intentionally selected.
- Campaign owner is assigned.
Step 3: Create links
In Links:- Add destination URL and short-link metadata.
- Assign campaign/folder/tags.
- Configure expiration, password, and click limit if required.
- Generate QR variants if needed for offline channels.
- Short URL path naming is consistent.
- Destination opens correctly on desktop and mobile.
- Security controls (password/expiry/click limit) match intent.
- Campaign/folder/tag assignment is complete.
Step 4: Add routing rules
In Rules or link rule editor:- Add conditions (geo, device, browser, OS, referrer, query, time, and quality signals).
- Set rule priority and fallback behavior.
- Test with representative traffic scenarios.
- Priority order is intentional and documented.
- Fallback destination always resolves safely.
- Test cases cover geo/device/browser permutations.
- Conflicting rules are resolved before launch.
Step 5: Configure conversion tracking
In Conversions and Integrations:- Decide which conversion types to track (lead, sale, or custom events).
- Set event naming standards.
- Validate attribution payload quality.
- Confirm customer identity fields for stitching.
- Event names and types are standardized.
- Transaction IDs are present where dedupe is required.
- Customer identity fields are populated consistently.
- Test conversions appear in expected scope views.
Step 6: Validate analytics
In Analytics, Conversions, Events, and Customers:- Confirm clicks and uniques match test traffic.
- Confirm conversion totals by type.
- Confirm sales/revenue align with expected currency behavior.
- Confirm dashboards and scoped analytics (workspace, campaign, link) are consistent.
- Workspace, campaign, and link scope totals are coherent.
- Date ranges/timezone are aligned for comparisons.
- Revenue/cost values are in expected reporting currency.
- Event and customer pages reflect the same ingestion test set.
Step 7: Production readiness checks
Before launch:- Verify team permissions and workspace defaults.
- Verify plan-gated features behave correctly.
- Verify integration delivery and retry outcomes.
- Verify export files and reconciliation workflow.
Day-0 launch checklist
- Execute final click and conversion smoke tests from real devices.
- Confirm webhook/integration destinations receive expected payloads.
- Confirm key dashboards load without missing widgets.
- Save baseline exports for first-day reconciliation.
Week-one stabilization
After launch, run these checks daily:- credit balance and billable-event mix
- link/rule behavior on top traffic paths
- conversion status quality (pending/approved/refunded/fraud)
- affiliate partner and payout pipeline health (if enabled)
Common launch issues and fixes
| Symptom | Typical cause | First action |
|---|---|---|
| Clicks visible but conversions missing | Incomplete conversion identity/payload fields | Re-run conversion test with validated payload |
| Revenue appears inflated | Currency mismatch in event payloads | Verify event currency and campaign reporting currency |
| Partner commissions not progressing | Status workflow not approved | Review commission status and payout configuration |
| Team cannot access expected pages | Role assignment mismatch | Re-check user role and workspace membership |
