GrowSurf

A referred customer pays. A Stripe event reaches the agent, which calls Record Transaction against the referring affiliate with your own transaction ID attached so a retry cannot double-credit the same sale. The commission enters the pending list. The agent then calls Get Participant, reads the fraud risk level and referral count GrowSurf computed, and checks how much of your refund window has elapsed. Low risk and past the window: it calls Approve Commission and the affiliate gets paid on schedule. Anything else waits for a person. When the customer's payment is later returned, a second flow calls Refund Transaction so the commission is adjusted rather than quietly left standing.

Crediting a referral the second someone signs up rewards traffic, not customers. Instead, the agent calls Add Participant when a user signs up, attributes them to whoever referred them, and stores your internal account ID in the metadata. Nothing is credited yet. Later, when your product confirms the referred user finished onboarding or made a first purchase, the agent calls Trigger Referral to credit the referrer. The share URL was live from minute one. The credit arrives only when the referral turned into something real.

On Program Event fires for New Participant Added and the agent posts a short note into Slack so the growth team sees the program moving in real time. Once a week a scheduled flow calls Get Leaderboard ranked by referrals or by commissions, writes the top referrers into Google Sheets, and pairs each name with what List Participant Rewards says is still unfulfilled. The team picks giveaway winners from a ranked list that was assembled from the live program rather than from last month's export.
