Will Affiliates be deleted due to option


Recommended Posts

Hi

We have some people signup as affiliates with us but have no active products or service but they bring us new customers all the time.

We do not want to loose these customers  even though they themselves have no services with us, when this option is used under automation settings: Automatically Delete Inactive Clients

Is there a way to make their accounts not delete when this option is used?

personally, I think it's probably safer to leave the option turned off - it's simpler to delete clients manually when required, than spend time undeleting client data deleted by WHMCS.

  • Are in a status of Inactive or Closed
  • Have no invoices that have been marked paid within the given number of months you specify
  • Have no transactions that have been entered or applied within the given number of months you specify

in theory, an affiliate should have transactions (if they've been paid), but what happens if they haven't had any transactions in your x months period... if all conditions are met, they'll be deleted.

Hi @sahostking,

I can confirm that an active affiliate won't be deleted by data retention automation, provided the affiliate has a balance greater than 0 or has made a referral within the specified retention period.

Check out this documentation for more info: https://docs.whmcs.com/Data_Retention_Policy_Automation#Data_Retention_Settings

Hi @WHMCS John,

The documentation in that link needs to be corrected then.

As it specifically refers to that condition meeting the criteria for deletion:

When you enable it, the system performs the Data Retention Pruning task daily and will remove clients that meet the following conditions:

A status of Inactive or Closed.
No invoices that have been marked paid within the number of months you specify.
No transactions that have been entered or applied within the number of months you specify.
An affiliate with a balance greater than 0 or that has made a referral within the specified retention period.
