Affiliate tracking to use with Respona
Respona excels at finding bloggers, journalists, and influencers for PR and link-building campaigns. When you use it to recruit affiliate partners, you still need a way to track their referrals and pay commissions. Trackli provides the tracking and payout infrastructure that Respona doesn't.
What Respona does (and doesn't do)
- Automates PR and link-building outreach with personalized email sequences at scale
- Finds relevant bloggers, journalists, and content creators using built-in prospecting and search
- Scores and qualifies prospects based on domain authority, relevance, and engagement metrics
- Manages multi-step outreach sequences with automated follow-ups and reply detection
- Integrates with your email to send campaigns directly from your inbox for higher deliverability
- Does not generate or manage affiliate referral links
- Does not track clicks or conversions from recruited partners
- Does not calculate commissions or handle affiliate payments
- Does not provide a dashboard where affiliates can monitor their own performance
The gap: why you still need tracking
Respona excels at helping you discover and recruit affiliates, but once a partner says “yes,” you need infrastructure to generate unique referral links, track clicks and conversions, calculate commissions, and manage payouts. That's exactly what Trackli provides.

How Respona + Trackli work together
Respona and Trackli operate at different stages of the affiliate lifecycle. Respona handles the top-of-funnel work: finding prospects, running outreach sequences, and managing communication. Once a prospect agrees to join your affiliate program, Trackli takes over with referral link generation, click tracking, conversion attribution, commission calculation, and payout processing. The handoff is manual — you invite accepted partners from Respona into Trackli via email — but the two tools together cover the full journey from discovery to payout.
