If you’re an agency managing VWO workspaces of other business entities, VWO provides you with the Linked Workspaces section in the Workspaces module for streamlined and seamless collaboration. The concept is pretty much simple and straightforward. You can add to yours as many workspaces as you require and access them to create and run their respective campaigns. 

The Linked Workspaces section is exclusively designed for the benefit of the agencies. A linked workspace is nothing but any workspace in VWO that is linked to a VWO agency. A linked workspace is a separate entity that holds its own VWO plan and workspaces. It can function on its own while also extending access and operational rights to the agency. The agency operates on linked workspaces based on the business requirements placed by the client. The agency’s operation on a linked workspace is subject to the plan to which the linked workspace has subscribed. Therefore, the consumption limit of an agency workspace is subject to that of the individual linked workspaces. 

As an agency, you can link your client’s workspace by simply raising a request from the Linked Workspaces section in the Workspaces module. The client is notified of the request via an email to their registered email address with the request link. Once your client approves the request, their workspace is added to yours as a linked workspace.

The Linked Workspaces module lists all your clients’ VWO workspaces that are linked to yours in a table featuring each entry in a row with the following columns of information:

To quickly access the details of a client's workspace, you can avail of the search bar, where you can enter the workspace ID of the respective client.
