Answer Affiliate Application Status on WhatsApp with UpPromote

Yes. AeroChat works directly with UpPromote. When someone asks whether their affiliate application was approved, AeroChat finds them in UpPromote by email and tells them whether their account is pending, active or inactive, and what happens next.

This recipe answers “did I get in?” in chat, from the affiliate record in UpPromote. Part of connecting UpPromote to WhatsApp and AI chat.

What happens today

Applicants do not know whether their application arrived, so they message to ask. Approved affiliates missed the approval email and ask the same thing. Each question means opening UpPromote, searching by email and replying, often hours later, when the creator has already moved on to another brand.

The flow that works

The applicant asks about their application.
AeroChat asks for the email they applied with.
It finds the affiliate in UpPromote and reads their status.
It replies with what the status means and the next step: wait, get their link, or talk to your team.

What it looks like on WhatsApp

Customer: I applied to be an affiliate last week. Any news? It’s ben@example.com (example)

AeroChat: Good news, Ben. Your affiliate account is active. Would you like your affiliate link and coupon code now?

Customer: Yes please!

In UpPromote: nothing changes. AeroChat found the affiliate by email and read the status.

The recipe

Copy this into AeroChat

When someone asks about their affiliate application or account, follow these steps.

Ask for the email they applied with.

Find the affiliate in UpPromote by that email.

If the status is pending, say it is still being reviewed and give our usual review time from the knowledge base.

If the status is active, congratulate them and offer to send their affiliate link and coupon code.

If the status is inactive, say the account is not active right now and hand the conversation to our team.

If no affiliate is found, say so and offer to take an application.

Never say why an application was declined. Hand those questions to our team. Reply in the customer’s language.

Change the review time and the handover rules to match your program 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).
Your knowledge base. Add your usual review time and program rules.

After you paste the recipe, AeroChat builds the workflow as a draft and shows a checklist: connect UpPromote, add your knowledge base if the recipe uses one, 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

Who you approve, and when. That stays in UpPromote.
What AeroChat says to applicants who are still pending.
Which questions go to your team, such as declined or inactive accounts.

The result to expect

Applicants get an answer about their application in seconds, and approved affiliates get their link in the same chat. Your team stops searching UpPromote by email to answer the same question.

Measure it with your own numbers: application status questions answered in chat, and the time from approval to an affiliate’s first referral, for a month before and after.

Next: see every UpPromote workflow, including sending an affiliate their link or coupon.

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.
