FirstPromoter comes with built-in email features that help you communicate effectively with your promoters. With a rich text email editor and merge tags support, our email tool should provide everything you need to send personalized and engaging emails to your affiliates.

There are two types of emails:

Broadcast Emails

Broadcast emails allows you send instant emails directly from the FirstPromoter, keeping your promoters up to date with any news or announcement your company might have.

How to create a new broadcast email

  1. Click on the "Emails" section in the left-side bard;

  2. Select "Broadcast Emails";

  3. Select "+New Broadcast Email";

  4. Set the "Subject" and "Content" of the email;

  5. Select the campaigns where you want to send that email;

  6. "Send Now" or "Save As Draft" the email.

Additionally, you can send a broadcast email to specific promoters, rather than an entire campaign, by following these steps: Go to "Promoters", select the desired promoters by checking the box on the left for each of them, click "Send Email".

Trigger Emails

Trigger email help you automate the communication with your promoters by setting up emails that are triggered by specific actions. These automated emails help you keep your promoters informed, engaged, and motivated throughout their journey with your referral program.

Each campaign has its dedicated emails, configurable in the "Emails" section on the left menu. By default, each campaign includes at least one email in each section.

How to create a new trigger email

  1. Click on the "Emails" section in the left-side bar;

  2. Select "+New Email";

  3. Set the "Subject" and "Content" of the email;

  4. Select the campaigns where you want to send that email and the trigger action;

  5. "Save" the email.

You can also "Save and send test email" to see what the email will look like. However, please keep in mind that if you add some tags, those won't populate the test email, only the actual emails sent to the promoters


Here's an overview of the trigger actions available in the "Emails" section and what each action does:

1. Promoter Accepted

This email is sent automatically when a promoter is accepted into your program. You can welcome new promoters and provide them with essential information about your program, guidelines, and any specific details they need to know.


Note: The trigger settings help you to send the email with a delay so the promoter can receive it after a certain period of time (such as seconds/minutes/hours/days).

For example, you can create multiple drip emails which are sent after certain hours/days.

You can set the first email to be sent instantly after a promoter is accepted and another one (which can be customized as well) to be sent after 10 days. The latter can serve as a reminder about the affiliate program or provide additional information.

2. Promoter Rejected

It is sent automatically when a promoter's application is rejected. This is commonly used to notify the promoter about the rejection and, if possible, provide reasons or guidance for improvement.

3. Lead Signup

This email is triggered when a lead registers on your website through a promoter's referral link. Acknowledge and thank the promoter for their successful referral, keeping them informed about the progress of their efforts.

4. Reward Created

It is automatically sent when a reward is created for a promoter. Celebrate the achievement with the promoter, and provide more details about it.

5. Payout Completed

It is sent when a payout is completed for a promoter. Confirm the successful payout and express gratitude for the promoter's contribution.

6. Count Reached

This email is triggered when a promoter reaches a predefined number of clicks, referrals, customers, cancellations, or any other count-related goal. Congratulate the promoter on reaching the milestone.

7. Inactivity

Sent when a promoter has been inactive for a specified number of days without generating clicks, referrals, or customers. This can be used to encourage re-engagement, offer incentives, or seek feedback to understand the reasons behind the inactivity.

8. Recurring

This email is automatically sent on a recurring basis (you can set it to either weekly or monthly intervals, at the desired day and time). Usually, the email contains performance updates. These updates typically contain information about the performance of clicks, referrals, conversions or even earnings.
