What is a Connection?

A connection is a saved set of API credentials for one external platform. Once configured, AffZero uses the connection to fetch stats from your tracker on demand — either manually on the Stats page or automatically when an automation runs. You create a connection once and reuse it across as many automations as you need.

Supported Platforms

Affise

Connect via Admin Portal or Affiliate Portal API. Supports stats by affiliate, offer, advertiser, and date.

Binom

Self-hosted tracker. Connect using your Binom domain and API key.

CAKE

Connect via the Affiliate API using your CAKE network domain and API key.

Demo

Built-in demo connection with sample data. No credentials needed — perfect for testing.
Everflow and Voluum integrations are coming soon. If you need one urgently, contact us.

Connection Types (Admin vs. Affiliate Portal)

Some platforms — particularly Affise — have two distinct API access levels:
TypeWhat it accessesWhen to use it
Admin PortalFull network data — all affiliates, all offers, all advertisersNetwork owners or managers with admin access
Affiliate PortalOnly the data visible to a specific affiliateWhen you’re connecting as an affiliate or sub-affiliate
Most AffZero users add an Admin Portal connection since it gives access to network-wide stats.

How to Add a Connection

  1. Go to Connections in the left sidebar
  2. Click Add Connection
  3. Select your platform
  4. Fill in the required credentials (see the platform-specific pages for where to find these)
  5. Click Save
AffZero will immediately verify the connection is working. If there’s an error, check that the API key and base URL are correct.

The Demo connection does not count toward this limit.

Editing or Deleting a Connection

Click the menu next to any connection on the Connections page to edit its credentials or delete it. Deleting a connection does not delete the automations that use it, but those automations will fail if they try to run without a valid connection.
