Hello,
I need to implement Infusionsoft affiliate tracking, and wanted to know the latest updates in regards to that. I did not see much in the documentation, and read some older posts from the forums, but was not sure if those were still valid.
Can I please be directed to the most current way of implementing this? Also, I found reference to “modified redirect” method of the referral links here, but have no idea what that is!

I found this article on Infusionsoft help: http://help.infusionsoft.com/related-articles/manage-referral-tracking-links-using-the-api
This along with the previous post managed to get things working for me.
I hope this helps others.

Option 1: Standard Referral Tracking Link Modification
Infusionsoft has a built-in referral tracking link that will:
Read the referral cookie
Send the person to the destination URL of your choice
Add the referring partner’s ID number as a parameter in the URL
If you are using the API with lead capture forms or orders, you will use this modified link format to create referral tracking links in Infusionsoft (CRM > Referral Partners > Referral Tracking Links.) Instead of entering the simple URL for the destination website (e.g. http://www.example.com), you will enter the modified redirect (e.g. https://youraccountname.infusionsoft.com/aff.html?to=http://www.example.com.)
Here is an example of the modified redirect link URL. You will need to change highlighted sections to enter your Infusionsoft application name and the URL of your destination website.
https://appName.infusionsoft.com/aff.html?to=http://www.example.com
If the prospect clicking on this link has a referral cookie stored on their browser, the partner will land on a page with a URL something like this:
http://www.example.com?affiliate=1234
The destination URL matches the one at the end of the redirect link and the referring partner’s ID is part of the URL. If no cookie is found, the referral partner ID number is set to zero.
