60-second summary

Quick answer

Automateed stores the referral on the user profile, so later eligible platform payments can attribute commission to the same affiliate. The dashboard separates account creation from revenue-generating referrals.

  • Sign in to the Automateed account that owns the relevant project or purchase.
  • Have the project, source file or account setting needed for “Visitor opens your link” ready before changing anything.
