About This Automation

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Commission Period Closestrigger

On the last business day of the month or quarter, the automation platform checks the affiliate platform for completed sales data and triggers the workflow.

2. Fetch and Reconcile Sales Data

The system automatically exports sales data and revenue records, matches transactions by date and amount, and flags any discrepancies for review.

3. Calculate Commissions

The automation applies commission rules, tiered bonuses, and deductions to each affiliate based on their verified sales, then cross-checks totals against a threshold to catch anomalies.

4. Verify Payee Details

The system checks affiliate contact information, payment method, and tax status against the master list and flags any missing or outdated records for manual correction.

5. Execute Payouts

The automation creates and submits payouts for all verified affiliates, using stored payment methods and calculated commission amounts.

6. Send Notifications and Log Transactions

The system sends payment confirmation emails to each affiliate and automatically records each payout as an expense with full audit trail.
