Your affiliate's status can help you monitor a campaign's health, keeping a real number of how many sales it's driving and how many people are engaged with it. However, you can't live in constant vigilance, so a great way to remove affiliates who aren't meeting certain criteria is by using automation. Let's check how you use the Update Affiliate Action to achieve that.
Navigate to the Workflows tab inside the Automation Section and create or edit a workflow.

Add the relevant trigger(s), then click the plus icon to add a new workflow action. Locate and select “Update Affiliate.”

Select the state to apply to the affiliate.

Click “Save Action” to finish.

Add any extra actions you see fit, and you're ready to go! This can help you redirect referral customers to a more active affiliate and ensure every campaign member is productive, so we hope it boosts your efficiency to the max!
