CB Invite

Can you tell me if it's possible to add a query to the invite link in order to link the new user both by connections and affiliation ?

Where can I append a cb field for instance ?

CB Invites can already connect users. You can enable this within CB Invites > Parameters > Invites using the "Connection" parameter. As for your affiliation you'd have to implement that yourself using CB Auto Actions acting on the invites_onAfterAcceptInvite trigger. The variables for this trigger are as follows.


var1 being the invite object and var2 being the user accepting the invite.

Wouldn't be easier to only append &[cb_refid] to the existing link as we already have the affiliation tracking system installed ? (where [cb_refid] is a query field)

We don't provide APIs for just extending URLs like that. I guess you can try forcing it in the email if you wanted though by modifying the language string and adding that to the [register] substitution URL. That would just pass it to the registration page and the accept invite behavior would have no idea it exists, but as long as you do the affiliate tracking on the registration landing page it should be fine otherwise you need to pass the value off to the form in a hidden input so it'll exist in the POST data.

I'm not really sure why you need that though. That's a field value from the user sending the invite. The trigger I provided you above contains the from user_id in the invite object and the entire recipient user object as var2. You can have your auto action build based off the from user_id so you've access to substitutions from both user objects if you wanted.

Thanks , that'll do
Did you forecast to add social networks import in link with CB Connect for instance ?

Did you forecast to add social networks import in link with CB Connect for instance ?

Not quite sure yet. CB Connect is basically just for easier registration and login. Outside of that scope, for privacy and performance, it does not communicate with those social networks. It doesn't load or use their JS API and I've written our own PHP API from the ground up for communicating with those social networks. It maybe possible to do some sort of import functionality with the PHP API after an additional permissions check. I'm just not entirely sure it's worth the effort as "invite X to join Y site" is pretty much a dead feature these days. At any rate have added a feature ticket to review further for a future release.
