Implications of Affiliate Alert in Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate alert is an important phrase of any SAAS based application. Normally prevalent affiliate tracking applications do not provide affiliate alert in the system, they only provide admin alert. So, affiliates do not get any kind of alert like admin while they are in roaming. Naturally they can’t login and they are in dark about what is happening in the network. To know all the activities in the network they have to log in every time which is quite provoking. To get rid of this situation affiliate alert is always required. Simultaneously, while admin, advertisers are doing some activities which can often be tough for them to keep track of all the activities in the network. So to know all the activities meticulously, affiliates need notifications. The relevant activities in the network come with the alert system that will automatically inform to affiliates through bell notifications as well as email notifications. Affiliates can view the most current notifications on their panel. Affiliates obtain notifications for different events in the application, like when payout of an offer is changed, or when an offer state is changed and so on.
