Quick answer
Referral attribution connects an existing referral source to the customer request, job or service record where possible. Referral terms review then helps the team check whether the referral is valid before any manual reward decision. This protects customers, partners and the business from duplicate, unclear or unfair referral claims.
📋 How it works in practice
A customer starts from a partner QR code, submits a Quick Help request and later approves a service scope. The attribution console helps admin see the referral source, while the referral terms referral terms for duplicate contacts, existing customer status and completion before any manual reward is considered.
Why attribution is different from payment
Attribution means identifying the likely referral source. It does not mean a reward is approved or paid automatically.
What attribution can connect
A good review can connect referral codes, referral leads, partner records, ambassador referrals, service-scope links and job references when those records are available.
Why referral terms review protects everyone
Referral terms help identify duplicates, self-referrals, existing customers, missing job links, refund holds or unclear source claims before a decision is made.
How manual notes help
Admin notes allow a human to record why a referral was accepted, questioned, dismissed or left for later review.
What customers need to know
Customers do not need to understand all internal referral records. They only need a clear path to start help and a safe explanation that referral details are reviewed privately.
Practical next steps
- Use the referral link or QR code when starting the request.
- Keep any referral code or name if it is shown to you.
- Submit the help request with accurate contact details.
- Let admin connect the referral source to the request or job.
- Wait for any referral terms or reward review to be handled manually.
Important note: Referral rewards depend on the actual job and the referral terms.
