How to Send Easy Affiliate Data to LiveChat
LiveChat is a live chat platform. Referral events can trigger instant notifications. Every Easy Affiliate an affiliate registers or a referral is recorded should flow into LiveChat automatically. This guide shows how to set that up in five minutes.
Skip the automation middleman
Rather than routing data through a third-party cloud, AFI sends it directly from your WordPress server to live chat. No task meter, no monthly bill.
What you will need
- A WordPress site with Easy Affiliate installed and configured.
- A LiveChat account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect LiveChat to AFI
LiveChat uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → LiveChat, 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 LiveChat.
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 LiveChat as the destination
Choose LiveChat from the platform dropdown and pick Add Customer. This creates a customer in LiveChat.
4. Map fields
Match each LiveChat 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 LiveChat 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 and email to LiveChat with unlimited referrals. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-referral fees on any plan.
