Add Manual Sales for an Affiliate Workflow Action
The Add Manual Sales for an Affiliate action records a sale against an affiliate inside a chosen campaign. Commissions are calculated using that campaign's default settings, no manual math required.
The Add Manual Sales for an Affiliate action records a sale against a specific affiliate in a specific campaign. Once added, commissions calculate automatically based on the campaign's default commission settings.
What it does
This action assigns a manual sale (revenue amount, optional event date and event ID) to an affiliate inside a campaign. The platform then runs commission math against the campaign's default rules and credits the affiliate accordingly.
Good fits for this action
- Recurring manual commissions — credit ongoing sales that happen outside Sparkforge on a schedule.
- Offline sale tracking — capture sales made in person, by phone, or through external channels so affiliate attribution stays accurate.
- Reward non-monetary contributions — credit affiliates for activities like training completion, top-tier support, or high-quality lead generation.
Configure the action
- Add the Add Manual Sales for an Affiliate action to your workflow.
- Select the affiliate campaign. The affiliate dropdown will then list only affiliates inside that campaign.
- Pick the affiliate.
- Enter the revenue amount for the transaction.
- Optionally add the Event Date (when the sale happened) and Event ID (reference or transaction ID).
- Save the action.
Note: This action records a manual sale only. The commission is calculated using the campaign's default commission settings, not values you enter on the action.
