Using Task Categories to Organize Your Ambassador Program

Task Categories make it easy to organize, label, and maintain clarity across all the tasks you create in your BrandChamp ambassador program.

With categories, you can assign a clear purpose to every task; whether it’s a social post, a product review, or something unique to your campaign.

What Are Task Categories?

Task Categories are simple labels you can apply to any task in BrandChamp.

They help you:

✅ Keep your program organized as you grow

✅ Maintain a consistent structure across campaigns

✅ Prepare for reporting features coming soon

For example, you might use categories to see which tasks focus on collecting user-generated content (Social Post, Video) versus driving engagement (Like, Comment, Follow on Social).

Where Do I Add Task Categories?

You’ll see the Category field whenever you:

Create a new task
Edit an existing task

Look for the Category dropdown in your task settings.

How to Assign a Category

To add or change a category:

Go to your Activities section in the admin dashboard.
Click Create Activity or select an existing one to edit.
In the Tasks section, click Add Task or edit an existing task.
Find the Category dropdown.
Select the option that best fits your task.
Click Save.

That’s it!

Tip: If you use activity templates, you’ll notice many tasks already have a default category selected. You can keep it as is or change it if needed.

Available Categories

Here are some of the most common categories you’ll see in the dropdown:

How Will This Help?

Using categories now sets you up for:

✅ Easier organization as your campaigns expand

✅ Consistent workflows for your team

✅ Clearer tracking of how tasks align with your goals; like generating user-generated content, boosting engagement, or increasing followers

In the near future, Task Categories will also appear in reporting and analytics, so you can see exactly which types of activities are driving the most results.

Tips for Success

Review your templates and update them with default categories so you don’t have to pick them each time.
Be consistent, use the same category names across similar tasks.
Start small, even tagging a few tasks now will help you stay organized later.
