Running the Import
Open Data Import
Go to Bulk Import → Data Import and find the Upload Campaign card.

It carries the exact column names and order the importer expects. Do not build your own file.
Fill it in, leaving the header row untouched
Save as CSV with UTF-8 encoding.
Trial five rows first

Upload, then review under View Lists
Successful and failed rows are both reported, with a reason per failure.

Rules and Validation
Check the payout column before uploading
A decimal error in a spreadsheet becomes a campaign that loses money on every conversion. Sort by payout and by revenue, confirm no row has payout above revenue, and spot-check the largest values.
- Only Basic Info is imported. Targeting, capping, events, creatives and affiliate access are configured per campaign afterwards.
- Campaign Type / Industry cannot be changed after creation — get the vertical right in the file.
- An advertiser that does not exist fails the row.
After the Import
Attach conversion events and set the validation window.
Approve affiliates and issue new tracking links.
Send advertisers their new postback URLs.
Test one campaign end to end with the Link Tester before opening traffic.
