Referral & Waitlist Agent
Referral codes and waitlist spots get tracked and promoted automatically, no spreadsheet of who-referred-whom.
What it watches
Referral code usage and waitlist position/movement
What it does
Tracks referral attribution, promotes waitlist members on a schedule or by referral count, and reports who is earning what
When it asks a human first
Any payout or reward above a threshold you set (cash referral bonuses, free-month credits) is queued for your approval before it is issued — the agent tracks and recommends, it doesn't authorize spend on its own. A queued reward that sits unapproved doesn't expire or get silently dropped either — it stays visible until you act, so a referrer who earned something is never quietly forgotten.
How it works
- 1Tracks every referral
Unique codes or links matched at signup/purchase, standard last-touch attribution unless you specify otherwise. A referrer trying to use their own second account or a duplicate email gets flagged for your review rather than silently credited, since a self-referral shouldn't count the same as a real one.
- 2Manages the waitlist
Strict first-in-first-out, or referral-count promotion — whichever rule you set once at setup, applied consistently so nobody has to wonder why one person moved up faster than another.
- 3Calculates what's owed
Computes referral rewards accurately, but never issues a payout without your sign-off. Rewards are calculated against the rule you defined (a flat amount, a percentage, or a tiered scale) and capped at whatever ceiling you set, so one unusually active referrer can't run up an unbounded bill.
- 4Queues rewards for approval
Any cash bonus or credit above your threshold waits in a queue before it goes out, routed to whoever you name as the approver rather than sitting in a generic admin inbox where it can be missed.
- 5Reports the mechanics
A weekly summary shows referral counts, waitlist movement, and pending payouts in one place, with your top referrers called out by name so you can see who is actually driving signups, not just an aggregate count.
What triggers it
- · A referral code or link is used at signup/purchase
- · A waitlist spot opens up
- · A payout or reward crosses your approval threshold
- · A referrer's count crosses a tier boundary you defined
What you get
- · Tracked referral attribution per signup/purchase
- · A calculated payout queued for your approval
- · A promoted waitlist position by your chosen rule
- · A weekly report of who is earning what
Not the right fit if
Not for steady-demand businesses with no launch or scarcity moment — there's no waitlist mechanic for this agent to run. It's also not a fit for businesses already running a complex, multi-tier affiliate program with custom commission structures — this agent handles straightforward single-tier referral tracking and a waitlist, not a full affiliate-marketing platform.
The math
At ~120 referral/waitlist events/mo × 4 min, that is roughly 8 h/mo — an estimate, not a guarantee.
Frequently asked
Unique codes or links per referrer, matched at signup/purchase — standard last-touch attribution unless you specify a different model at setup.
It calculates what is owed and queues it for your approval — it does not move money on its own.
By your rule of choice: strict first-in-first-out, or referral count moving someone up the line — configured once at setup.
It complements it — this one manages the waitlist/referral mechanics, that one handles direct sales follow-up once someone is off the waitlist.
If the payout hasn't gone out yet, the agent flags it for your review instead of auto-releasing it. If it already went out, that gets logged as an exception for you to handle manually — the agent won't attempt an automatic clawback on its own.
