Send Affiliate Links and Coupons on WhatsApp with UpPromote

By Alva Chew 4 min read Updated November 11, 2026

Yes. AeroChat works directly with UpPromote. When an affiliate asks for their referral link or coupon code, AeroChat finds them in UpPromote by email, checks the account is active and sends the link and code in the chat.

This recipe answers “what’s my link again?” and “what’s my code?” in seconds, from the affiliate record in UpPromote. Part of connecting UpPromote to WhatsApp and AI chat.

What happens today

An affiliate is about to post and cannot find their link or code. They message you and wait. Your team opens UpPromote, searches by email, copies the link and the coupon and pastes them back. If the reply comes after the post went up, the post goes out without the code.

The flow that works

  1. The affiliate asks for their link or code.
  2. AeroChat asks for the email on their affiliate account.
  3. It finds the affiliate in UpPromote and checks the status is active.
  4. It sends their custom or default affiliate link and the coupon codes assigned to them.

What it looks like on WhatsApp

Customer: Posting a reel tonight, what’s my discount code? Email is ana@example.com (example)

AeroChat: Here you go, Ana. Your coupon code is ANA10 (example), described as “10% off first order”. Your link is yourstore.com/ana (example). Good luck with the reel!

In UpPromote: nothing changes. AeroChat read the affiliate’s links and assigned coupon.

The recipe

Copy this into AeroChat

When an affiliate asks for their link, referral link, coupon or discount code, follow these steps.

  1. Ask for the email on their affiliate account.
  2. Find the affiliate in UpPromote by that email.
  3. If the status is not active, say the account is not active yet and offer to check their application.
  4. Send their custom affiliate link if they have one, otherwise their default affiliate link.
  5. Read the coupons assigned to that email in UpPromote and send each code with its description.
  6. If they have no coupon, say so and hand a request for one to our team.

Only send links and codes to the affiliate they belong to. Never create a new discount yourself. Reply in the customer’s language.

If your program only uses links or only uses codes, remove the other step before you paste it.

What to connect

  • Your Shopify store. Built in. Install AeroChat from the Shopify App Store and connect your store in the dashboard.
  • UpPromote. In the UpPromote app, go to Settings, then Integrations, scroll to API Key, click Get API Key and copy it. Paste it in when AeroChat asks. UpPromote says the API key is available from the Professional plan (as of November 2026).

After you paste the recipe, AeroChat builds the workflow as a draft and shows a checklist: connect UpPromote, then switch it on. If it built the connection from UpPromote’s public documentation, the checklist asks you to check it once against the current docs.

Using a different system? If it has a public API, it connects to AeroChat the same way: describe what you want, paste in its key, and it runs.

Can’t find your tool? Message us in the chat on this page and we’ll tell you how it connects.

What you still decide

  • Which coupons each affiliate gets. You assign them in UpPromote.
  • Whether AeroChat sends the custom link, the default link or both.
  • What happens when an affiliate asks for a new or bigger code.

The result to expect

Affiliates get their link and code the moment they need them, even late at night before a post goes up. Your team stops copying links out of UpPromote.

Measure it with your own numbers: link and code requests answered in chat, and referrals from affiliates who asked in chat, for a month before and after.

Works on every chat channel

This workflow runs the same way on WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, the chat on your store and email, with the same UpPromote connection behind it. See what each channel does on the UpPromote integration page.
