When affiliates submit content, their entries wait for you to review them. Nothing is paid until you approve it, so this is where you check each post and decide. For the wider flow, see the content rewards overview.

Finding submissions to review

Open Content Rewards in the left sidebar and go to the Submissions tab. Its badge shows how many entries are waiting on you. The table lists every submission across your campaigns, with the creator, the platform, when the post went up, when it was submitted, the campaign, its views and likes, the payout, and its status. You can search and filter to narrow things down.

What the statuses mean

Each submission carries a status:
  • Pending review — waiting for you to approve or reject it. These are the ones that need action.
  • Approved — you’ve accepted it and its reward has been created.
  • Rejected — you’ve turned it down.
  • Draft — the affiliate started an entry but hasn’t submitted it yet.
The Payout column tells you where the money is: Unpaid, Payout created (the reward exists and is waiting to be paid out), or Paid.

Reviewing one submission

1

Open it

Select a submission to open the Review submission panel. You can move through entries with the arrows at the top without closing the panel.
2

Check the details

The panel shows who submitted it, the campaign’s criteria, and the reward at stake. For a social post you’ll see a preview with its views and likes; you can Refresh to pull the latest figures. For a manual submission you’ll see the proof they attached — images, links, and any notes they added.
3

Approve or reject

Use Approve to accept it or Reject to turn it down. These buttons appear while the submission is still pending review.

Approving

Select Approve to accept the submission. Its reward is worked out and created right away in the affiliate’s earnings. If the campaign uses a custom amount (a manual campaign where you set the figure yourself), a Reward amount field appears first — type what to pay, then approve. For social campaigns and flat-rate campaigns, the amount is already worked out for you.

Rejecting

Select Reject, then choose a Reason — Invalid proof, Duplicate submission, Out of time window, Did not meet criteria, or Other — and add optional details for the affiliate. Choose Confirm rejection to finish. The affiliate is told their submission was rejected, along with your reason.

Reviewing several at once

When a batch is clearly good or bad, select the rows with their checkboxes and use the bar that appears to set them all to Approved, Pending review, or Rejected in one step — or delete them. You can also select every submission that matches your current filters.

Where the reward goes

Approving a submission creates its reward in your Rewards list, labelled Content rewards, and from there it’s paid out like any commission or bonus. On a social campaign with extra-performance rewards turned on, the amount can keep climbing after approval as the post gains views or likes. If you ever need to undo an approval, see Revert a paid reward.
