Enable API Access to Affiliate Trial Data (instead of CSV export only)
Ethan Johnson
Right now, the only way to access ClickFunnels affiliate trial data is by manually exporting a CSV file from the affiliate dashboard. There is no API endpoint to pull trial data programmatically, which significantly limits the automation potential for affiliates.
For example, I’m currently building an automation in Make.com to detect when a new trial signs up under my affiliate link, and then automatically:
- Trigger onboarding and bonus delivery sequences
- Add the lead to ActiveCampaign
- Track UTMs and referrer metadata
Unfortunately, since there’s no API access to the trial data, I’m forced to scrape the export page manually which introduces problems with rate limits, dynamic URLs, and anti-bot protections like CAPTCHAs.
If there was a simple, secure API endpoint to pull real-time trial data (including UTM, name, and email), it would make this 10x easier for affiliates building real automations to nurture their leads and drive conversions.
Please consider enabling API access to affiliate trial data as a scalable solution affiliates, enabling them with the ability to create automations triggered when new trials sign up with their link.

its important that I actually have an automation in place that gets triggered when a trial is started to send the bonuses to people right after they sign up
