How to Send Fluent Affiliate Data to WhatsApp

WhatsApp is a messaging platform. Referral events can trigger instant notifications. Every Fluent Affiliate an affiliate registers or a referral is generated should flow into WhatsApp automatically. This guide shows how to set that up in five minutes.

The direct approach

AFI delivers affiliate and referral data straight from WordPress to WhatsApp. 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 WhatsApp account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect WhatsApp to AFI

WhatsApp uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → WhatsApp, 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 WhatsApp.

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 WhatsApp as the destination

Choose WhatsApp from the platform dropdown and pick Send Message. This sends a WhatsApp message via the Business API.

4. Map fields

Match each WhatsApp 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 WhatsApp 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 phone number and message text to WhatsApp with unlimited referrals. Pro adds template message selection. No per-referral fees on any plan.
