Understanding Sharelinks

By default, each user in your SaaSquatch referral programs have a series of links assigned to them designed to:

1. Direct Referred Users who click on the link to your referral program Landing Page for a specific program.
2. Let the SaaSquatch system add the correct cookie to the Referred User's browser to help attribute the referral back to the correct Referrer for that program.
3. Track the Engagement and Share mediums used by the Referrer.

• The Engagement medium is the method you use to show a user's share information to them.
• The Share medium is the method used by the Referrer to distribute their share information to their Referred Users.

🔗 The sharelink object

Sharelinks are contained in an object that groups the links by Engagement medium.

Making the correct sharelink available in the right place in your referral program will mean that your program's analytics are able to provide a more detailed breakdown of where Referrers and Referred Users are interacting with your referral program.

This information can be used to help understand and optimize your programs.

🔗 Retrieving the sharelink object

A few methods can be used to retrieve a user's sharelinks:

• Via the SaaSquatch administrative portal, on the participant's Codes and Links tab (see image below).
• Via the REST API, by using either the Lookup a user or Lookup a user's share URLs calls.
• Via the GraphQL API, using the user.shareLinks query.

🔗 Sharelink object example
