The “Digistore Affiliate” event element allows you to process contacts based on an affiliate’s revenue or affiliate commission.
It checks whether an affiliate has reached a specified revenue or commission amount within a defined period of time.
Important: The event element does not work retroactively. Revenue and commissions generated before the event element was set up cannot be taken into account afterward.
Requirements
To use the event element, the affiliate’s name must be stored in a contact field.
First, create a Text contact field. This field is used to store the name of the respective affiliate.
For existing contacts, this information may need to be added manually.
Automatically store the affiliate name
For future affiliate registrations, this assignment can be automated.
To do this, use a Digistore element and select the following event:
“Registration as Affiliate”
Under “Field Assignment”, you can then write the affiliate’s name into the contact field you created earlier.
This ensures that the affiliate name is automatically stored in the contact record for new registrations.
Configure the event element
Add the “Digistore Affiliate” event element at the desired position in your campaign.
Then define the conditions under which the event should be triggered.
1. Define revenue or affiliate commission
First, specify which value should be checked.
You can configure the event to trigger once the affiliate has:
- reached a specified revenue amount, or
- earned a specified affiliate commission.
Then enter the required minimum value.
2. Select products
Choose which products should be included in the calculation.
Only revenue or commissions generated from the selected products are included in the check.
3. Define the time period
Next, define the period within which the specified revenue or commission must be generated.
For example, the event element can check whether an affiliate has reached the specified revenue amount with the selected products within the defined period.
Once all conditions are met, the event is triggered and the contact continues through the campaign.
Example
An affiliate should continue through the campaign once they have generated at least €5,000 in revenue with a specific product within the defined period.
To configure this, set:
- €5,000 in revenue as the minimum value,
- the relevant product, and
- the desired time period.
As soon as these conditions are met, the event is triggered.
Note
Because the event element does not work retroactively, it should be set up before the relevant revenue or commissions are generated.
