Demo Connection
Explore AffZero's features with the built-in Demo connection — no API credentials needed.
What is the Demo Connection?
The Demo connection is a built-in testing environment that comes pre-loaded with realistic sample affiliate data. It lets you explore AffZero's full feature set — building automations, testing variables, sending emails — without needing access to a real tracking platform.
The Demo connection does not count toward your connection limit.
What Data Does It Include?
The Demo connection returns a realistic dataset including:
- A set of sample affiliates with names, clicks, conversions, revenue, and payouts
- Offer-level data
- Date-range-based breakdowns
The data is static (it doesn't change day to day), but it's structured exactly like real tracker data, so anything you build with it will work the same way with a live connection.
Available Stat Types
| Stat Type | What it shows |
|---|---|
| By Affiliate | Sample affiliate performance — revenue, payout, clicks, conversions per affiliate |
More stat types may be added to the Demo connection as new platform integrations are built.
Available Demo Actions
The Demo connection also supports a set of write actions that return realistic simulated responses — no actual data is changed, but the response shape is identical to what a live tracker would return.
| Action | What it simulates |
|---|---|
| Update Campaign Cost | Records a cost update for a single campaign |
| Bulk Cost Update | Updates costs for multiple campaigns at once — returns a per-campaign result summary |
| Edit Conversions | Updates conversion status, payout, or comment |
| Edit Campaign | Updates campaign name, payout, or targeting settings |
| Start / Pause Campaign | Activates or pauses a campaign |
| Bulk Offer Upload | Creates multiple offers at once |
Use these actions to build and test automations (including bulk cost workflows driven by AI Analyze) before connecting to a live tracker.
How to Add the Demo Connection

When to Use the Demo Connection
Learning the platform
Build your first automation and understand how variables work without touching real data.
Testing email templates
Make sure variable substitution and formatting look right before sending real emails.
Showing the platform to teammates
Demo the automation builder without exposing live affiliate data.
Building invoice templates
Test invoice generation and variable mapping with predictable sample data.
When you're ready to work with real data, add a live connection to Affise, CAKE, or Binom. Your automations can then be updated to use the new connection with a few clicks.
