3. Setting Up the Trigger for New Affiliate Requests

In the trigger window, select Pabbly Subscription Billing as the app. Choose the trigger event as ‘New Affiliate Request’. Pabbly Connect will provide you with a webhook URL that you need to copy. This URL is essential for connecting your Pabbly Subscription Billing account.

To add the webhook URL to Pabbly Subscription Billing, navigate to your account settings, then select ‘Webhooks’. Here, click on the ‘Add Webhook’ button and fill in the necessary information:

After saving the connection, you will be prompted to map the fields from the affiliate request to the corresponding fields in ActiveCampaign.

Map the email address from the affiliate request. Map the first name, last name, and phone number. Select the appropriate tag and list for the new contact.

After mapping all necessary fields, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’. If everything is set up correctly, you should see a successful response indicating that the contact has been added to ActiveCampaign.

5. Testing the Automation Workflow

The final step is to test your automation workflow to ensure it functions correctly. Go back to your affiliate signup page and submit a test affiliate request. After submitting, check your Pabbly Connect workflow to see if it captures the webhook response.
