How to Create an Application Form

How to Create an Application Form

1. Go to the Applications tab on the left-hand sidebar.

2. Click the Create Forms & Get Applications button.

3. Fill out the required fields to customize your form.

Step 1: Create Your Invite Landing Page

Start by setting up the landing page that influencers will see when applying to your program. Here’s how:

1. Add Brand Visuals
   Upload your brand logo and a featured image that represents your brand well.

2. Name Your Program + Add a Description
   Use the headline and description boxes on the right side.

   • Example headlines:
     • “Join the [Brand Name] Tribe”
     • “Wanna be part of the [Brand Name] Community?”
     • “Apply to Our Ambassador Program”

   • Keep your description short, engaging, and include a Call to Action (CTA) using the dropdown.

3. Customize the Style
   Choose background, headline, text, and button colors to match your brand’s style guide.

4. Add Your Website Domain & Subdomain
   Paste your main domain and subdomain into the respective fields.

5. Click “Next” to move to the next step in the form builder.

Step 2: Edit the Description Section

Next, fill out the Description section on the left-hand side of your application form. This is what applicants will read to understand your program better and see what’s expected from them. All fields come prefilled, so you only need to make light edits to match your brand’s tone.

1. Headline 1 – Intro to Your Program
   Use this to briefly introduce your ambassador or affiliate program. SARAL provides a default template here that you can easily tweak.

2. Headline 2 – What Influencers Get
   Highlight what your brand is offering to creators.
   Common inclusions:

   • Monthly gifts or freebies

   • Exclusive product discounts

   • Affiliate commissions

   • Personal discount codes

   • Special offers for their followers

3. Headline 3 – What Your Brand Expects
   Share what you’re looking for in return.
   Examples:

   • 2–3 content pieces per month

   • Honest product reviews

   • Unboxing videos or shoutouts

   • Calls to action for their audience to try the product

4. Headline 4 – Call to Action
   Write a short, engaging CTA encouraging them to apply (e.g., “Let’s grow together — apply now!”).

Step 3: Completing the Form Setup Section

In this step, you’ll complete the Form Setup section on the right-hand side of your application form. This is where applicants enter their details and respond to questions that help you qualify them.

1. Customize the Questions
   Use the preloaded questions provided by SARAL — you can toggle them on or off based on your needs.
   You can also add your own brand-specific questions.
   Example: “Are you a pet parent?”

2. Enable Gift Selection (Optional)
   Toggle on the Gift Selection feature to allow applicants to choose from 1–2 preselected gifts from your store.

   • This automates the gift selection process.

   • Once an application is accepted, their chosen gift is automatically shipped.

   • It saves time by reducing manual communication.

3. Collect Shipping Addresses
   Activate the “Shipping Address for Gifts” toggle to collect their address upfront.
   This ensures a smoother process and avoids unnecessary back-and-forth later on.

4. Set Up Payment Info
   In the final section, ask applicants to select their preferred payment method (e.g., PayPal, Venmo) from a dropdown list.
   This lets you collect everything you need to send commissions at the end of each month.

Step 4: Publish Your Form

Edit the thank-you message applicants will see after submitting the form, then click “Save & Publish” to make your form live!

Step 5: Promote Your Form

Your form is ready! Next, we’ll cover how to effectively promote your Affiliate Program.

Approving and Rejecting Applications:

When applications come in, review them in your Applications section. After evaluating their responses and auditing their social accounts, you can approve the candidates you want to collaborate with and reject the others.
