How to Send Easy Affiliate Data to Webhook
Webhook is a integration platform. Easy Affiliate runs your affiliate program on WordPress. Webhook is where your affiliate data needs to go. Here is how to connect them without Zapier or code.
Why connect directly?
Cloud automation tools like Zapier charge per task and route your data through external servers. AFI processes everything on your WordPress site. No per-referral fees, no external dependencies.
What you will need
- A WordPress site with Easy Affiliate installed and configured.
- A Webhook account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect Webhook to AFI
Webhook uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → Webhook, click Authorize and grant access. This is a one-time step.
Setting up the integration
1. Create a new integration
Go to AFI → Add New. Name it Easy Affiliate to Webhook.
2. Pick your trigger
Select Easy Affiliate as the form provider. AFI fires when an affiliate registers or a referral is recorded, giving you access to affiliate details, referral amounts, and commission data.
3. Select Webhook as the destination
Choose Webhook from the platform dropdown and pick Send Webhook. This sends an HTTP POST to a webhook URL.
4. Map fields
Match each Webhook field on the left to the corresponding Easy Affiliate field on the right. Common mappings include affiliate name, email, referral ID, commission amount, and status. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}}.
5. Add conditions if needed
Only want to send certain referrals? Set up a conditional rule based on any field value.
6. Save and test
Click Save Integration. Trigger a test event in Easy Affiliate. Check Webhook to confirm the data arrived. If anything looks wrong, open AFI → Log to see the exact request and response.
Free vs Pro
The free version maps any JSON payload to Webhook with unlimited referrals. Pro adds custom headers and authentication. No per-referral fees on any plan.
