How to Send Fluent Affiliate Data to Zendesk Sell

Zendesk Sell is a CRM that helps you manage contacts and track interactions. Here is how to pipe Fluent Affiliate affiliate data straight into Zendesk Sell using Advanced Form Integration. The setup takes about five minutes and runs entirely on your own server.

The direct approach

AFI delivers affiliate and referral data straight from WordPress to Zendesk Sell. No third-party cloud, no per-task fees, and every request is logged for troubleshooting.

What you will need

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

Connect Zendesk Sell to AFI

1. Log in to your Zendesk Sell account.
2. Go to Settings → API and copy your API Token.
3. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Zendesk Sell.
4. Paste the API Token and click Save Changes.

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

Go to AFI → Add New. Name it Fluent Affiliate to Zendesk Sell.

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 Zendesk Sell as the destination

Choose Zendesk Sell from the platform dropdown and pick Add Lead. This creates a lead in Zendesk Sell.

4. Map fields

Match each Zendesk Sell 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 Zendesk Sell 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 name, email, and phone to Zendesk Sell with unlimited referrals. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-referral fees on any plan.
