Aspire can reward creators in your offer automatically and email them when they reach milestones. This article shows how to set up three features:
Recurring Reward: send a creator a free product on a schedule, for example every month.
Content Performance Reward: reward creators for the content they post and how well it performs.
Milestone emails: three automated emails that celebrate tier progress, conversion milestones, and sales milestones.
Where to find these settings
Go to Offers.
To add automation to a new offer, click New Offer and go to the Automation step.
To add automation to an existing offer, open the offer and click Settings. Rewards are on the Reward tab. Emails are on the Automation tab.
đĄ The Rewards Automation card holds all reward types.
đĄ The Email Automation card holds all automated emails.
Recurring Reward
A Recurring Reward sends a creator a free product once per time window. You can add a qualifier, for example a minimum number of conversions in the window. Without a qualifier, the creator receives the reward every window.
Set up a Recurring Reward
Open the Rewards Automation card and click Recurring Reward.
Name your reward. For example, "Monthly VIP Gift".
Select the window: Monthly or Quarterly. The window sets how often a creator can earn the reward. Aspire evaluates quarterly rewards once per calendar quarter (UTC).
Optional: turn on Qualifier. Select Conversions or Sales and enter the minimum value. The creator must reach this value in each window to earn the reward.
Select how the creator receives the product:
Let Creator Choose: the creator picks a product from the catalog or rule you select.
Gift Specific Products: you pick the exact products.
Optional: open Rewards Settings. Here you can require approval before the reward is sent, hide the reward from the creator portal, and set start and end dates.
Click Done, then save your offer.
Good to know
A creator can earn a Recurring Reward one time per window.
The reward is always a free product. To reward with discount codes or cash, use a Content Performance Reward or a Sales or Conversion reward.
Content Performance Reward
A Content Performance Reward pays creators for content. You choose which content formats count, what a post must achieve, and what the creator receives.
Requirement: connect an Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube account to Aspire first. Creators must tag one of your connected accounts in their post to earn the reward.
Set up a Content Performance Reward
Open the Rewards Automation card and click Content Performance Reward.
Name your reward. For example, "Instagram Post Bonus".
Under Content, select the formats that count: Instagram Post, Instagram Reel, Instagram Story, TikTok Video, YouTube Video, or YouTube Short.
Under Connected Accounts, select the accounts creators must tag.
Optional: add Tracked Hashtags. Only posts with these hashtags count. This prevents double credit for creators who are in more than one offer.
Set the Qualifier. This is what a creator must hit to earn the reward:
Total Content: a minimum number of posts.
Engagement (in any single post): a minimum engagement count on one post.
Impressions (in any single post): a minimum view count on one post.
Select the window: Weekly, Monthly, or Quarterly.
Set the Earning Cap. This is the maximum number of times a creator can earn the reward per cycle.
Under Give creators, select the reward:
Discount Code: a percent or dollar discount. Available on Shopify-connected accounts. You can restrict purchase type, set usage limits, set minimum purchase requirements, and set active dates under Discount Settings.
Free Product: the creator picks from a catalog, or you gift specific products.
Cash Reward: a dollar amount. Aspire adds cash rewards to the member's commission.
Optional: open Rewards Settings to require approval, hide the reward from the creator portal, or set active dates.
Click Done, then save your offer.
Review earned rewards
Open your offer and go to the member table.
Click Review next to a member, or select Review Content Performance Reward from the row menu. If the reward does not require approval, click See content instead.
Check the posts that earned the reward, then approve or reject. Statuses are Needs review, Approved and Rejected.
Milestone emails
Three automated emails cheer creators on as they make progress in your offer. Each email sends once per milestone that a creator crosses.
Sends when | Preset milestones | Default | |
Tier Progress Nudge | A creator crosses a percentage of the way to their next payout tier | 25%, 50%, 70%, 90% | 70% |
Conversion Milestone Reached | A creator's total conversions cross a milestone | 1, 5, 10, 25 | 1 |
Sales Milestone Reached | A creator's total sales cross a dollar milestone | $100, $500, $1000, $5000 | $100 |
Turn on a milestone email
Open the Email Automation card in the Automation step of your offer.
Turn on the email with its toggle.
Set your milestones in the window that opens. Click a preset, or click + Add custom milestone and enter a value.
Click Save.
Optional: click the pencil icon (Edit email content) to change the subject and body.
Good to know
Creators get one email per milestone, so pick as many as feel useful.
Tier Progress Nudge is available only when your offer uses automated payout tiers.
The offer's Automation page lists the same emails and their run history. On that page, Conversion Milestone Reached appears as On X Conversions, and Sales Milestone Reached appears as On $X Sales.
