Instead of tracking only checkout-based conversions, you can reward affiliates for:

Using Make.com, you can trigger Tapfiliate actions whenever a CRM event occurs, enabling deeper affiliate attribution throughout your sales funnel.\

## Overview of CRM + Make.com Integration

Make.com acts as the automation bridge between your CRM and Tapfiliate.

### How It Works

1. A visitor clicks an affiliate link and arrives on the client’s website.
2. The visitor submits a form or becomes a lead/contact in your CRM.
3. Make.com detects this CRM event through a trigger module.
4. Make.com sends a **Create Conversion** or **Create Customer** request to Tapfiliate.

Because Make.com supports advanced routing and filtering, you can trigger conversions only when specific conditions are met.

***

## What You Need Before Starting

Before creating the integration, make sure you have:

* An active Tapfiliate account

* Access to your CRM (admin permissions recommended)
* A way to store the Tapfiliate referral identifier inside your CRM

Common CRM fields used for this:

* referral\_code
* coupon\_code
* tapfiliate\_id
* custom tracking fields

You should also define **what counts as a conversion**, such as:

* Lead created
* Contact created
* Deal created
* Deal closed
* Lifecycle stage updated

***

## General Integration Flow (All CRMs)

Most Make.com integrations follow this structure:\

**Trigger (CRM Event)**

Optional fields you can send to Tapfiliate include:

* Customer ID
* Order reference

* Routers
* Conditional filters
* Data mapping
* Multiple Tapfiliate actions within a single scenario

This enables complex affiliate reward workflows.

***

### 5. Server-Side (S2S) Tracking

For higher reliability or backend-only tracking, Tapfiliate also supports **Postback (S2S) tracking**.\

You can combine S2S tracking with CRM events for:

* more accurate attribution
* reduced client-side dependency
* improved reliability in privacy-restricted environments.

***

## Test and Verify Your Setup

Before launching your integration, perform a full test.

1. Click an affiliate link.
2. Complete the form or action that creates a CRM record.
3. Confirm the Make scenario runs successfully.
4. Check the Tapfiliate dashboard for:

* Customer creation
* Conversion attribution
* Correct affiliate assignment

***

## Key Notes & Best Practices

* Always store the Tapfiliate referral ID in your CRM.
* Use external IDs (Lead ID, Contact ID, Deal ID) for de-duplication.
* Test every automation scenario using real data.
* Use filters to avoid duplicate conversions.
* Align commission logic with your CRM sales stages.
