Add Manual Sales for an Affiliate in Sparkforge Workflows

The Add Manual Sales for an Affiliate workflow action records revenue against an affiliate campaign and triggers commission calculation using the campaign's default rules. You can attribute automatically by URL parameter or map manually to a specific affiliate.

What the action does

When the workflow reaches this step, Sparkforge logs the revenue you specify against the affiliate and campaign you choose. Commissions calculate per the campaign's default commission settings and post to the affiliate's record.

Configure with auto-attribution

1. Add the Add Manual Sales for an Affiliate action.
2. Toggle Auto-Track Affiliate via Attribution on so revenue maps from the affiliate ID in the contact's URL.
3. Choose First or Latest attribution.
4. Pick the affiliate campaign from the dropdown.
5. Enter the revenue. Optionally add the event date and an event ID (transaction or reference).
6. Save.

First vs latest attribution

• First attribution: the original interaction Sparkforge recorded for the contact (for example, the form they first submitted). It does not change.
• Latest attribution: the most recent recorded interaction (for example, a later order form). It updates with each new session.

Configure without attribution tracking

1. Add the action.
2. Pick the affiliate campaign. The affiliate dropdown will then show only affiliates added to that campaign.
3. Choose the affiliate manually.
4. Enter the revenue, optional event date, and event ID.
5. Save.

Example: pay commission on form submission

An affiliate shares a campaign form link with leads.

• Trigger: Form Submitted (the form belongs to the affiliate campaign).
• Action: Add Manual Sales for an Affiliate with Auto-Track Affiliate via Attribution on.
• Outcome: When a valid affiliate-tagged lead submits the form, Sparkforge maps the lead to the affiliate and posts the commission. No branching per affiliate required.
