# An affiliate was suspended: their code stops attributing and their referrals stop earning.

`POST referral.affiliate_suspended` (webhook)

### When this fires

The creator suspended an affiliate. Suspending one already suspended changes nothing and emits nothing.

> **Suspension is about the future.** What the affiliate already earned stays on their balance and can still be paid out; nothing is clawed back.

### Caveats

- **Touches already captured stay captured.** A friend who arrived through the code before the suspension keeps their referral row, but a payment of theirs earns nothing while the affiliate is suspended.

### Related events

- `referral.affiliate_approved`: the way back.

## 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_suspended', required: The event name, always `referral.affiliate_suspended` 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 shared, always uppercase. It no longer attributes.
      - `status` 'pending' | 'approved' | 'suspended', required: Always `suspended` here.
      - `subscriber_id` string, uuid, required: The member behind the affiliate.
      - `days_balance` integer, required: Days waiting for their next purchase; untouched by the suspension.
      - `joined_at` string, date-time, required: When they joined.
      - `approved_at` string, date-time, nullable, required: When they were last approved.
    - `subscriber_id` string, uuid, required: The member, repeated at the top level for filtering.
    - `status` 'suspended', required: Always `suspended` 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.
