Overview
Tracker Action steps let you interact with your tracking platform’s API beyond just pulling stats. There are three types:| Step | What it does |
|---|---|
| Tracker Action Get | Reads data from a custom API endpoint and exposes selected fields as variables |
| Tracker Action Edit | Updates an existing record via a tracker API (e.g. change an affiliate’s status) |
| Tracker Action Add | Creates a new record via a tracker API (e.g. add a new offer or affiliate) |
When to use Tracker Actions
- Get: Read specific affiliate details, offer configurations, or conversion records that aren’t available via standard Pull Stats stat types
- Edit: Update affiliate cap limits, change offer statuses, or modify conversion records based on conditions in your automation
- Add: Create new affiliates, offers, or campaigns programmatically as part of an automated workflow
Prerequisites
Tracker Action steps use your saved Connections. You need a valid connection to the tracking platform you want to interact with. Additionally, the specific API endpoints need to be configured as Action Templates under Actions in the main menu. Action Templates define the endpoint URL, HTTP method, and parameter schema for each type of tracker action.Tracker Action Get
What it does
Makes a GET request to a configured tracker API endpoint and lets you select which fields from the response to expose as variables.Configuration
- Connection — select the tracker connection to use
- Action Template — select the pre-configured endpoint to call
- Parameters — fill in any required parameters (e.g. affiliate ID, date range). Parameters can reference variables from previous steps.
Selecting response fields
After running a test request, the response JSON is displayed. Click on any field value to register it as a variable. Selected fields become available as{field_path_action_N} in subsequent steps.
Tracker Action Edit
What it does
Makes a PUT or PATCH request to a configured tracker API endpoint to update an existing record.Common use cases
- Updating an affiliate’s payout cap after it’s been reviewed
- Changing an offer’s status from active to paused
- Modifying conversion approval status for specific records
Configuration
- Connection — select the tracker connection
- Action Template — select the endpoint to call
- Parameters / Body — enter the values to update. You can use variables from previous steps (e.g. pass
{affiliate_id_1_stats_1}from a Pull Stats step to identify which record to update).
Tracker Action Add
What it does
Makes a POST request to a configured tracker API endpoint to create a new record.Common use cases
- Adding new affiliates to your network as part of an onboarding automation
- Creating new offers or campaigns programmatically
- Logging custom conversion events
Configuration
Similar to Edit — select the connection, action template, and provide the required fields for creating the new record. Variable values from previous steps can be used in any field.Setting Up Action Templates
Before using Tracker Action steps, you need to create the corresponding Action Template:- Go to Actions in the left sidebar
- Click Add Action Template
- Select the connection (platform) this action is for
- Enter the API endpoint path, HTTP method, and define the parameters
- Save the template
Action Templates are shared across automations — create them once and reuse in multiple workflows.
Tips for Using Tracker Actions
- Test your endpoint using the Action Template’s test feature before using it in an automation
- Use variables in parameters — pass affiliate IDs, offer IDs, or other values from Pull Stats steps to make actions dynamic
- Combine Get → Check → Edit — a common pattern is: Get a record, check a condition, then Edit it only if the condition passes
- Check your tracking platform’s API documentation for available endpoints, required parameters, and rate limits
