Drag-drop affiliate welcome on Benchmark's friendly editor.
Benchmark Email's drag-drop editor is the friendliest in the budget space. Rekomi adds approved affiliates to your chosen list so your beautifully-designed welcome fires the moment the affiliate accepts your program terms.
From paste-API-key to first paid affiliate in 10 minutes.
Paste your Benchmark Email API key into Rekomi. Rekomi runs a test call to verify the key, then pulls your list/audience picker live from Benchmark Email so you pick the right destination.
Affiliates apply via your public landing page or your bulk invite. Approve them manually, auto-approve on a campaign, or import an existing affiliate CSV from Rewardful.
Approved affiliates land in your Benchmark Email list as tagged subscribers within seconds. Rekomi handles idempotency, retries, and per-campaign overrides; you handle the nurture sequence.
The exact Benchmark Email fields Rekomi writes.
No surprise fields, no overwrites of contact data you already have. Empty values are omitted so existing nurture data is preserved.

What Benchmark Email customers actually do with Rekomi.
Designer-friendly welcome sequence
Build a Benchmark drag-drop email with hero image, branded fonts, a tracking-link CTA, and a 'how to promote' section. Trigger via Benchmark's automation on `Added to list: Affiliates`. The visual continuity from customer-facing to affiliate-facing emails stays polished.
Multi-list segmentation
Benchmark has lists + segments + tags. Rekomi syncs to lists; use Benchmark segments + tags inside Benchmark for further cohort partitioning. Per-campaign overrides let each Rekomi campaign target a different Benchmark list.
Affordable indie-creator stack
Benchmark Lite (free up to 250 contacts) + Rekomi Starter ($49/month) gives indie creators a working affiliate stack at under $50/month total. Upgrade Benchmark as your subscriber count grows.
Rekomi handles Benchmark Email's edge cases so you don't have to.
Every CRM API has quirks. Rekomi's integration code was built and audited against the live Benchmark Emaildocs, these are the ones you'd otherwise hit yourself.
Benchmark uses `Email`, `Name` (title case), consistent with Mailjet but inconsistent with most other ESPs. Rekomi maps automatically.
Benchmark uses a custom `AuthToken` header instead of standard `Authorization: Bearer`. The connect form's helper text spells this out so you don't paste your token as a Bearer-prefixed string.
Benchmark's add-to-list returns 200 immediately but processes async. Rekomi treats 200 as success based on Benchmark's documented behavior; if Benchmark's queue processes slowly, the affiliate may take a few seconds to appear in the list.
Built for budget-conscious senders on Benchmark Lite (free) or Pro ($15+/month) who prioritize drag-drop visual polish over template-code flexibility.
Common Benchmark Email questions.
Does Benchmark Email have an affiliate program?
Benchmark runs an affiliate program (15% recurring) for promoting Benchmark. That's separate from running YOUR affiliate program. Rekomi is the layer for the latter.
What's the minimum Benchmark plan?
Benchmark's free Lite plan (250 contacts) exposes the API. Pro ($15+/month) removes the contact cap. Rekomi works on either.
How does Benchmark's automation compare to Mailchimp's?
Benchmark's automations are simpler, fewer conditional branches, less custom-field plumbing. Good for straightforward welcome + nurture flows; less suited for complex behavioral routing. For complex automations, consider ActiveCampaign or Customer.io.
