Manual attribution

At Cello, we understand that there may be instances where automated referral attribution doesn't work as expected. In such cases, our platform provides the flexibility to manually attribute referrals to ensure that your users receive the proper rewards for their efforts. This guide will walk you through the steps of manually attributing referrals within the Cello platform.

When to Manually Attribute Referrals

1. Technical Glitches: If you encounter technical issues or glitches that prevent automated attribution, manual attribution allows you to override these challenges.
2. User Disputes: In cases where users claim they referred someone but the system did not capture it correctly, manual attribution provides a resolution path.
3. Custom Scenarios: For unique situations or custom referral setups, manual attribution offers a tailored solution.
