How to Send Fluent Affiliate Data to Twilio

Twilio is a SMS and voice platform. Here is how to pipe Fluent Affiliate affiliate data straight into Twilio using Advanced Form Integration. The setup takes about five minutes and runs entirely on your own server.

Skip the automation middleman

Rather than routing data through a third-party cloud, AFI sends it directly from your WordPress server to SMS and voice. No task meter, no monthly bill.

What you will need

• A WordPress site with Fluent Affiliate installed and configured.
• A Twilio account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect Twilio to AFI

1. Get your Twilio Account SID and Auth Token.
2. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Twilio.
3. Enter the SID and Token.
4. Click Save Changes.

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

Go to AFI → Add New. Name it Fluent Affiliate to Twilio.

2. Pick your trigger

Select Fluent Affiliate as the form provider. AFI fires when an affiliate registers or a referral is generated, giving you access to affiliate details, referral amounts, and commission data.

3. Select Twilio as the destination

Choose Twilio from the platform dropdown and pick Send SMS. This sends an SMS via Twilio.

4. Map fields

Match each Twilio field on the left to the corresponding Fluent 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 Fluent Affiliate. Check Twilio 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 to number and message body to Twilio with unlimited referrals. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-referral fees on any plan.
