Affiliate links provide Condé Nast with a commission for linking to a retailer or service provider. Links have to be tagged correctly for the commission to be awarded. When you mark a link as an affiliate link Copilot automatically takes care of the tagging for you.
To create an affiliate link:
Enter the copy for the link in the editor
Highlight the copy and select the link option
Enter the link URL to the product/service/retailer
Enable the “Affiliate Link” toggle
You will see that your original link you have added is replaced by a one starting with https://cna.st. This ensures the link is routed correctly.
