In this document you will learn how to setup an Impact.com Integration (Brand API) with LoudCrowd so that your Impact.com Partners are loaded into LoudCrowd as Ambassadors.
This means they get a LoudCrowd Storefront and affiliate link to go with it.
This affiliate link goes through Impact.com so they are still capable of doing all tracking and attribution as with any of their links, but ultimately the clients arrive at the Ambassador's LoudCrowd Storefront.
To accomplish this, follow these steps:
Step 1: Access Integration Settings
Navigate to Affiliate Programs -> Add Integration
Select "Impact" from the integration options
Step 2: Configure Impact Credentials
Fill in the following required fields:
Name: Create a descriptive name for your integration (e.g., ImpactTest)
Account SID: Your Impact account SID
Access Token: Your Impact access token
Campaign ID: Your specific Impact campaign identifier
Link Text Message: Custom message for your affiliate links (e.g., "Checkout my Storefront")
Campaign Redirect Domain: Your campaign's base redirect URL
