EmailOctopus

Rekomi's EmailOctopus integration adds every approved affiliate to an EmailOctopus list.

What syncs

When an affiliate is approved (or, optionally, when they apply), Rekomi calls PUT /lists/{listId}/contacts (upsert) with email_address, status: "subscribed", fields: { FirstName, LastName }, and the tags array.

PUT is the upsert path, POST would 409 on duplicate emails.

Finding your API key

In EmailOctopus:

1. Settings → API keys (emailoctopus.com/developer/api-keys).
2. Click Create a key. Name it "Rekomi".
3. Copy the key.

Connecting EmailOctopus in Rekomi

1. Go to Integrations in the dashboard sidebar.
2. Click the EmailOctopus card.
3. Paste your API key. Click Connect.
4. Rekomi runs a test call against GET /lists?limit=1.

Tags

Comma-separated strings. EmailOctopus accepts the tags array inline on PUT, Rekomi includes the Rekomi affiliate system tag plus any defaults you configure.

Field name caveat

EmailOctopus's fields map is keyed by the brand's per-list field tags. The defaults are FirstName / LastName (PascalCase), and Rekomi sends with those names. If you renamed the field tags in your list, the first/last name values will be silently dropped, verify your list's field tags match the default convention, or rename them back to FirstName/LastName.

When sync fires

• Default: only Approved affiliates sync.
• Optional: turn on "Include applicants before approval" to also sync Pending.

Per-campaign overrides

Each campaign can override the account-level configuration. From a campaign's detail page, click the CRM sync tab.

Per-affiliate sync visibility

Open any affiliate's detail page. The CRM sync panel shows the per-CRM status. Resync clears prior jobs and re-fires the sync.

Troubleshooting

• First / last name not showing on contact, Field tags don't match the FirstName / LastName defaults. Rename in EmailOctopus or check your list's field schema.
• 429, EmailOctopus throttles at 10 req/sec sustained, 100 burst. Rekomi honors X-RateLimit-Retry-After when present.

Disconnecting

From the EmailOctopus connect page, click Disconnect. Integration row + per-campaign overrides are deleted. Sync history is preserved.
