# A pending or suspended affiliate was approved and their code attributes from now on.

`POST referral.affiliate_approved` (webhook)

### When this fires

The creator approved an affiliate. Approving one already approved changes nothing and emits nothing.

The member is told, with their link and code, when the programme is live.

### Caveats

- **Re-approving a suspended affiliate restores their earning, not the past.** Payments that settled while they were suspended earned nothing and are not revisited.

### Related events

- `referral.affiliate_suspended`: the paired transition.

## Headers

- `SB-Signature` string, required
- `SB-Event-Id` string, required
- `SB-Event-Name` string, required
- `Content-Type` string, required
- `User-Agent` string, required

## Payload

- object: The envelope every event is delivered in.
  - `id` string, required: A ULID unique to the event, prefixed `evt_`. Every retry carries the same id, so it is the key to deduplicate on.
  - `type` 'referral.affiliate_approved', required: The event name, always `referral.affiliate_approved` here.
  - `created_at` string, date-time, required: When the event was emitted, server time, ISO 8601.
  - `api_version` string, required: The contract version of the payload shape, `2026-05-01` today. A breaking change to a shape ships under a new version.
  - `project_id` string, uuid, nullable, required: The project the event belongs to; null for team-scoped and billing events.
  - `data` object, required: The event-specific payload. Keys that do not apply to a given emission are omitted rather than sent as null, so check for presence.
    - `affiliate` object, required: The same snapshot every `referral.affiliate_*` event carries.
      - `id` string, uuid, required: The affiliate's UUID.
      - `code` string, required: The code they share, always uppercase.
      - `status` 'pending' | 'approved' | 'suspended', required: Always `approved` here.
      - `subscriber_id` string, uuid, required: The member behind the affiliate.
      - `days_balance` integer, required: Days waiting for their next purchase.
      - `joined_at` string, date-time, required: When they joined.
      - `approved_at` string, date-time, nullable, required: When they were approved; set on this event.
    - `subscriber_id` string, uuid, required: The member, repeated at the top level for filtering.
    - `status` 'approved', required: Always `approved` on this event.

## Acknowledgement `2XX`

Your endpoint acknowledged the delivery. Any 2xx status within 30 seconds marks it delivered; the response body is ignored.

## Other responses

- `default`: Any other status, a connection failure, or no answer within 30 seconds counts as a failed attempt. The delivery is retried 8 times, after 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 2 minutes, 10 minutes, 1 hour, 6 hours, 1 day, 3 days; the last failure dead-letters it, and it can be retried from the dashboard or `POST /v1/webhook-deliveries/{delivery}/retry`. After 20 consecutive failures the endpoint is paused until it is resumed.
