Post Affiliate Network – Do Affiliates Receive Postbacks on Commission Status Changes?
This article explains whether Post Affiliate Network sends postback notifications (callbacks) to an affiliate's system when a commission status changes — for example, when a transaction moves from Pending to Approved, from Approved to Declined, or from Declined to Approved.
Overview
Yes, Post Affiliate Network supports sending application callbacks (postbacks) on commission status changes. Affiliates can receive a postback notification whenever a commission is approved or declined, regardless of its previous status.
Available Callback Triggers
Application callbacks in Post Affiliate Network can be configured to fire on the following events:
- Execute on commission creation – triggered when a new commission is created
- Execute on approval of commission – triggered when a commission is approved (regardless of its prior status)
- Execute on decline of commission – triggered when a commission is declined (regardless of its prior status)
- Execute on refund creation – triggered when a refund is created
- Execute on recurring commission creation – triggered when a recurring commission is created
Key Points
- **Postbacks are not limited to the initial transaction creation.** They can also be sent when a commission status changes.
- The previous status of the commission does not matter — the callback fires based on the new status event (approval or decline).
- This means transitions such as Pending → Approved, Pending → Declined, Declined → Approved, or Approved → Declined can all trigger the appropriate postback if the corresponding trigger is enabled.
Summary
To ensure affiliates receive postback notifications on commission status changes, make sure the relevant callback triggers (**Execute on approval of commission** and/or **Execute on decline of commission**) are enabled in your Post Affiliate Network > Application callback settings.
