When deciding whether you'd like to accept or decline a partner's application, you might want to first determine whether the partner is a good fit. To open an applicant's profile:
From the left navigation menu, select
[Engage] → Partners → Applications.On the Applications screen, find the partner you're interested in and select their name.
This will open a slide-out with a range of details about the partner and allow you to reach out to the partner.
This tab lists the partner's media properties, namely their:
Websites
Social media pages
Mobile apps
Email newsletters
Podcasts
Offline and other media properties
This tab gives data about the partner's various media properties.
For websites, this includes monthly visitors (and the % by which it is increasing or decreasing), Alexa rank, visitors by country, and more. For social media profiles, this includes the number of followers, engagement rate, date last posted, and verification status.
This tab shows the partner's self-provided description, their business model, promotional categories, available media kit downloads, related links, promotional areas, and finance details.
This tab shows the partner’s website, available phone numbers, provided addresses, and internal contacts.
This tab is only visible when viewing applications — not when viewing proposals. This tab enables you to send a direct message (DM) to the prospective partner and shows any DM history with the partner.
From the left navigation menu, select
[Engage] → Partners → Applications.On the Applications screen, find the applicant you're interested in and select their name, then on the slide-out modal, select Accept.
Alternatively, hover over the application and select
[More] → Accept.
The Accept Application modal will appear. Review and update the following settings as necessary:

Partner Groups: Type a partner group name to add the partner to a specified group.

At the bottom of the modal, select Accept.

Block partner from reapplying: Select whether you wish to block the partner from reapplying to the specific program or all programs. (Selecting All my programs only applies to programs to which you have access, and may not include all the available brand programs.)
Message: Optionally, leave a rejection message for the partner to receive via email. Here you can expand on why the partner didn't meet your requirements.
At the bottom of the modal, select Reject.
If a partner has applied to your program and agreed to your public terms, you can also propose a different contract (e.g., a different set of terms that better fits the partner’s business model).
From the left navigation menu, select select
[Engage] → Partners → Applications.On the Applications screen, find the partner whose application you want to counter and select their name, then on the slide-out modal, select Send Proposal.
