An affiliate's status lets you keep track of a campaign's health, giving you a live picture of how many sales it's generating and how many people are engaged. Rather than monitoring this manually, you can use automation to remove affiliates who aren't meeting your criteria. Here's how to use the Update Affiliate Action to do that.
Navigate to the Workflows tab inside the Automation section and create or edit a workflow.
Add the relevant trigger(s), then click the plus icon to add a new workflow action. Locate and select "Update Affiliate."
Select the state to apply to the affiliate.
Click "Save Action" to finish.
Add any extra actions you need and you're good to go. This can help you redirect referral customers to a more active affiliate and keep every campaign member pulling their weight.
