How to Send Fluent Affiliate Data to Kintone
Kintone is a database platform. 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 Kintone.
Why not just use Zapier?
For connecting your affiliate program to database, 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 Kintone account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect Kintone to AFI
Kintone uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → Kintone, 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 Fluent Affiliate to Kintone.
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 Kintone as the destination
Choose Kintone from the platform dropdown and pick Add Record. This creates a record in Kintone.
4. Map fields
Match each Kintone 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 Kintone 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 standard app fields to Kintone with unlimited referrals. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-referral fees on any plan.
