Some Awin advertisers use automatic approval to accept publisher applications without a manual review.
When you apply to an automatically approved program, you are partnered immediately, with no waiting period. You can then start creating links and promoting the advertiser.
How to find advertisers with automatic approval
You can find advertisers offering automatic approval through Link Builder.
- Log in to the Awin platform.
- Go to Toolbox > Link Builder.
- In the Advertiser field, select Not Joined from the dropdown. You’ll see a list of advertisers whose programs you can join without waiting for manual approval in chronological order.
- Select an advertiser you’re interested in. An orange Profile button will appear.
- Click Profile to view the program details.
- If you want to join, apply to the program. You’ll be automatically approved and can start creating links and promoting the advertiser immediately.
Automatic approval can be useful if you want to start promoting an advertiser while other applications are still pending.
