How it works

From paste-API-key to first paid affiliate in 10 minutes.

01 / 03
Connect

Paste your Sailthru API key into Rekomi. Rekomi runs a test call to verify the key, then pulls your list/audience picker live from Sailthru so you pick the right destination.

02 / 03
Approve

Affiliates apply via your public landing page or your bulk invite. Approve them manually, auto-approve on a campaign, or import an existing affiliate roster from Rewardful and six other platforms via Settings > Migrate.

03 / 03
Sync

Approved affiliates land in your Sailthru list as tagged subscribers within seconds. Rekomi handles idempotency, retries, and per-campaign overrides; you handle the nurture sequence.

What syncs

The exact Sailthru fields Rekomi writes.

No surprise fields, no overwrites of contact data you already have. Empty values are omitted so existing nurture data is preserved.

  • POST /user with id (email), keys.email, fields.firstName, fields.lastName
  • vars.rekomi_affiliate_status, vars.rekomi_affiliate_tier, Sailthru's custom variable space
  • lists, explicit list assignment object {listName: 1}
  • API key + secret auth via signature (Sailthru's HMAC-style sig)
  • Sync semantics: 200 on success; idempotent by email

Rekomi handles Sailthru'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 Sailthrudocs, these are the ones you'd otherwise hit yourself.

HMAC-style signature auth

Sailthru uses HMAC-style signature auth (api_key + sig parameter). Rekomi handles the signing; the connect form just takes api_key + api_secret.

vars vs fields distinction

Sailthru splits user properties into `fields` (standard schema) and `vars` (custom). Rekomi puts affiliate metadata under `vars.rekomi_*` so it's clearly custom.

Lists as object, not array

Sailthru's lists field is `{listName: 1}` (object) not `["listName"]` (array). Rekomi maps the picked list name to the object shape automatically.

Who this is for

Built for publisher and media brands on Sailthru with active subscription drives + interest-based personalization. Enterprise pricing; commitment levels vary by media size.
