How to Send Fluent Affiliate Data to Instantly

Instantly is a cold email platform for managing subscribers and campaigns. Fluent Affiliate tracks an affiliate registers or a referral is generated, but sending that data to external platforms needs an integration. AFI bridges that gap to Instantly.

Why not just use Zapier?

For connecting your affiliate program to cold email, a cloud automation service adds cost and a dependency on an external server. AFI runs on your site with no task limits.

What you will need

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

Setting up the integration

4. Map fields

Match each Instantly 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 Instantly to confirm the data arrived. If anything looks wrong, open AFI → Log to see the exact request and response.
