NATS4 Affiliate Postback
NATS4 has the ability to post detailed member information to your affiliates via a backend POST based on any basic action the member takes through NATS. You must first activate this feature in your NATS Configuration Admin, then your affiliates can receive detailed information on what their members are doing.
Configuration Admin
To enable this feature for your affiliates, please visit the Configuration Admin -> Affiliates tab. In the sub-section labeled Postbacks, you will see a list of options to activate. Here are a list of the possible postbacks your affiliates can receive:

Affiliate Configuration
After you've activated the postbacks you want your affiliate be able to receive, your affiliates can then login and enter the URL(s) where they want their postback(s) to be sent. The affiliate needs to go to their "My Account" page...
Then click on the "Account Settings" tab. They should see a new box on this page that will look something like this (by default):
From there they can enter the URL(s) of the script(s) that will handle their postbacks.
