New Webhook: Get Notified When It’s Time to Pay Affiliates

At Freemius, we offer a robust Affiliate Platform for all our makers. Our system automatically generates and tracks affiliate links and calculates affiliate payouts every month. We already send an email notification when payouts are due, so you know when it’s time to reward your affiliates.

To further enhance the system — especially for makers with many affiliates — we’re introducing a new webhook: affiliate.payout.pending. Each month, as our system calculates pending affiliate payouts, it will trigger this webhook event. You can subscribe to this webhook to automate various tasks, such as:

  • Create automated payment flows within your own system
  • Notify your accounting department

…and more!

To get started, visit the Custom Webhooks page and look for the affiliate.payout.pending event. Check out our documentation for more details on how our webhook mechanism works.
