Integration Logic

  • AffiliateWP Growth & Analytics Bridge

    This integration creates a streamlined affiliate onboarding and analytics funnel. 1. A prospective affiliate fills out an application form created with WPForms Pro. This form can include file uploads (e.g., for an avatar or W-9 form). 2. The WPForms Cloudinary addon automatically uploads these files directly to a designated folder in your Cloudinary account, keeping your media library clean and leveraging Cloudinary's optimization features. 3. Upon successful form submission, the WPForms User Registration addon creates a new WordPress user with a specific role that AffiliateWP recognizes, automatically creating a new affiliate account. 4. MonsterInsights tracks the entire journey. It records the form submission as a conversion event and uses its advanced tracking features to monitor traffic and sales generated by the new affiliate's referral links, providing a complete view of your affiliate program's performance.
