What are the Different Offer Approval Statuses?

There are four (4) types of approval statuses depending on the requirements listed in each respective offer page.

1. Pending

Upon clicking on the “apply” button for an offer, the status will reflect as “pending” while the advertiser team reviews your application within 3 working days. Nonetheless, the turnaround time for offer approvals may vary depending on the offer. Therefore, it is best to check the offer page for the latest information. 

The “pending” status is only applicable for offers that require manual approval by advertisers. There are some offers who provide instant approval upon clicking on “Instant Apply” to which pubs can begin promoting upon receiving approval.

2. Approved

This indicates that your property niche and promotion method aligns with the offer’s requirements and can now begin promoting and generating deeplink.

3. Rejected

There may be a few reasons for an offer application being rejected.

When you apply for some offers which require approval, your application will be reviewed by advertisers (the brand) directly. The outcome of the offer rejection might be because your property profile does not match what advertisers are looking for.

Some important notes for publishers when applying for offers that require approval:

• Please allow 1-3 working days for your application to be reviewed by the Advertisers as this will be the normal duration for an offer application. However, please take note that certain offers may require a long waiting time. Therefore, it is advisable to check the offer description to know the actual approval duration before applying for the offer.
• Please note that there may be a delay in reviewing your offer application as this is normally due to a high traffic number of publishers who have applied to the same offer just like you.
• If your offer application has been rejected by the advertiser, it may be due to your content being not relevant to the niche that the advertiser is looking for. We would recommend you to search and promote other offers that are available on the Involve platform.
• You may re-apply to the advertiser's offer after some time. However, it will still be subjected to approval.

4. Blocked

Blocked offers only applicable when the offer does not support the intended promotion method of publisher. For example, offers specifically for Media Buyers or KOLs have certain follower count requirements. Therefore, Advertiser will immediately block access to offer for publishers that do not meet requirements.

Other reasons can also include if publisher violates the permitted promotion methods of the offer as stated in the offer page.
