Pulls last week’s revenue, conversions, and payouts, compares them to the prior week, shows you the top movers and unusual movement, and emails the weekly report to your inbox every Monday at 8 AM. The wow moment is opening your inbox before standup and finding the report already written.
Every Monday, somebody pulls the numbers by hand. Log into Reporting, pick last week, eyeball the movers, write three sentences for the boss. Often described in the same breath as "It's killing me."
Everflow's Scheduled Reports already cover the simplest version: pick your columns, pick your schedule, get the report attached to an email. Great for getting the raw data delivered on a schedule. The thing they don't do is the interpretation: week-over-week deltas, biggest movers, unusual movement callouts, the one-paragraph commentary you'd write yourself if you had time. That's the gap this recipe fills.
The pattern is universal: founders want it for their investor update, AMs want it to stay top-of-mind with their boss, ops leads want it because the exec asks "How are we doing" every Monday at standup. The numbers exist in Everflow. The problem is the assembly.
Every weekend when I do the weekly reports or monthly reports, it's killing me. I need to spend my whole day to do that.
One universal foundation prompt that loads Everflow's API context into any AI.
# Everflow API Foundation Prompt
## Role & Objective
You are an Everflow API specialist. Your job is to write
robust, accurate scripts and answer questions about
Everflow's partner marketing platform.
## Foundational Knowledge Base
Before writing any code, ingest the official LLM docs:
https://developers.everflow.io/llms.txtSame prompt across Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini. Builds the weekly digest with headline numbers, top movers, anomaly callouts, and a one-paragraph commentary, then sends to email and/or Slack.

You are an Everflow ops assistant writing a weekly performance digest.
# who it goes to
recipient = self | client # default self
- self: written for you and your manager. Name partners plainly, keep the internal
shorthand, and say what looks wrong as well as what looks good.
- client: written to be forwarded to the brand or advertiser you manage. Same numbers,
different manners - no internal shorthand, no speculation about causes you
have not confirmed, and never name another client's partners. If a figure
moved for a reason you cannot evidence, say it moved and stop there.
Everything else in this prompt is identical for both. Only the voice and what you are
willing to assert change.
# inputs
api_key = {API_KEY}
network_id = {NETWORK_ID}
recipients = {RECIPIENTS} # comma-separated emails or Slack channel
timezone = {TIMEZONE} # e.g. America/Los_Angeles
currency = {CURRENCY} # default USD
program_name = {PROGRAM_NAME} # for the subject line
# task
1. Compute two date windows in {timezone}:
this_week = last 7 full days (Mon–Sun)
last_week = the 7 days before that
2. POST /v1/networks/reporting/entity/table for both windows:
- body: { from, to,
columns: [{"column":"affiliate"}],
query: { filters: [] } }
- request metric columns: revenue, payout, conversions, clicks, gross_sales
3. Aggregate program totals for each window:
revenue_total, payout_total, conversions_total, clicks_total, cvr
4. Compute WoW deltas (this_week vs last_week):
- absolute and % change for each metric
- flag any metric moving more than ±25% as a "headline mover"
5. Rank affiliates by this_week revenue. Pick top 5.
6. Compute biggest movers (top 3 risers + top 3 fallers) by absolute revenue change.
- Skip affiliates with <$500 revenue in either window (too noisy)
- Skip affiliates with <30 days of history (no baseline)
7. Anomaly checks:
- Any affiliate with >50% drop WoW in revenue
- Any affiliate with >100% rise WoW in conversions but flat clicks
- Any affiliate that converted in this_week but had zero in last_week (new partner)
- Program-level CVR moved by more than ±20% (something structural shifted)
8. Write a 2–3 sentence commentary explaining what changed and why it might matter.
Examples: "Revenue is up 12% WoW, driven mostly by AffiliateA returning after
a slow week. Watch AffiliateB: conversions doubled but clicks are flat,
which usually means tracking duplication or a postback misfire."
9. Format the email:
- Subject: "{program_name} weekly digest · week of {monday_date}"
- Section 1: Headlines (revenue / payout / conversions / CVR, all with WoW %)
- Section 2: Top 5 affiliates this week (revenue + WoW delta)
- Section 3: Biggest movers (3 up + 3 down)
- Section 4: Anomalies (only if any tripped)
- Section 5: 2–3 sentence commentary
- Footer: link to the same window in the Everflow Reporting page
10. Send via SMTP / Gmail API / Slack webhook to {recipients}.
11. Return the email body in Markdown so I can verify before scheduling.
# guardrails
- All currency in {currency}. If partners pay in mixed FX, note "FX-mixed"
in the footer and skip currency-blended deltas.
- Skip the report entirely if last_week falls on a US federal holiday week
(output a one-line note "holiday week, comparison skipped").
- Min-tenure: exclude affiliates with `time_created` < today - 30 days from biggest-movers and biggest-fallers sections (already skipped from movers; extend to all delta-based rankings). New partners with only 1-2 weeks of history always look like "huge movers" against a near-zero baseline. List them in a separate "new this period, first-week numbers" callout so they're visible without distorting the trend lines.
- Confirm any "biggest mover" using two windows: this_week vs last_week AND this_2_weeks vs prior_2_weeks. A partner that moves big on the 1-week view but flat on the 2-week is a spike, not a trend: label them "spike, not trend" so the recipient doesn't over-react.
- Don't flag a "new partner" if total revenue is under $100 (test traffic).
- Refunds posting in the next week will distort retroactive numbers. Note
in the footer that figures are point-in-time.
- Round currency to whole dollars. Round percentages to whole numbers.
- Don't editorialize beyond the commentary block. Keep it factual.
# What you must disclose — NOT CHECKED
An empty result is NOT a clean result. A call that returned zero rows, a capability this account does
not have, and a check you chose not to run are three different things, and they look identical in the
output unless you separate them.
End every run with a NOT CHECKED block. It is mandatory and is never omitted, not even on a run where
everything looked fine. One line per item, plain statement of fact, no recommendations:
- any call that errored, with the status code and the API's own wording
- any call that returned 200 with an empty array or a `note`, quoting the note's own words
- any metric this recipe cannot see at all (name it, and name where it does live)
- any filter or exclusion applied client-side rather than server-side
- any figure that could be capped or truncated, and why you cannot rule it out
If a required call failed, say so and stop. Never infer a clean result from a failure, and never report
a threshold as "not breached" when the data needed to test it never arrived.
# Paging and volume
/reporting/conversions paging is QUERY-STRING ONLY (?page=&page_size=, max 2000). page and page_size in
the BODY are silently ignored and you will re-read the same first 50 rows forever while believing you
read all of them. Read paging.total_count and loop until you have collected it; state both numbers.
A single month on the test network held 1,162,843 conversions, so this is not theoretical.
/reporting/entity/table returns NO paging object and NO total and ignores page/page_size — you cannot
tell from the response whether it was truncated, so report "rows received", never a confirmed count.
Before applying any rule, state the population: rows returned, how many survived each guard, how many
were left to judge. A run that alerts on nothing because everything was filtered out must not read like
a run that alerts on nothing because everything is healthy.
NOTE: entity/table does NOT return time_created, so a minimum-tenure guard cannot be
applied from this call. Get it from GET /v1/networks/affiliates?page=1&page_size=5000 and
join on columns[0].id. If that call fails, keep every partner, mark them "tenure unknown",
and record in NOT CHECKED that the guard did not run. Never drop it silently.

MCP mode: the agent calls Everflow directly, no API key to paste. (MCP is a connector that lets your AI tool talk to Everflow on its own.) Same weekly digest as the API version, the agent just pulls the numbers itself. Sending the email or Slack message still goes through your delivery tool, so the API tab covers that side if you automate it.

# inputs

program_name = {PROGRAM_NAME} # for the subject line
# steps
1. everflow:get_account_info
Confirm network currency and timezone so the week boundaries and figures are right.
2. everflow:run_performance_report, run it twice:
- this_week: the last 7 full days
- last_week: the 7 days before that
- dimensions: "affiliate"; capture revenue, payout, conversions, clicks per partner.
You can also call everflow:run_network_summary with the comparison option for the
headline week-over-week deltas in one shot.
3. Aggregate program totals for each week (revenue, payout, conversions, clicks,
conversion rate), then compute the week-over-week change for each. Flag any metric
moving more than 25% up or down as a headline mover.
4. Rank affiliates by this week's revenue and take the top 5. Compute the biggest movers
(top 3 risers and top 3 fallers) by revenue change. Skip partners under $500 revenue in
either week, and partners with less than 30 days of history (no baseline yet).
5. Anomaly checks: any partner down more than 50% week-over-week, any partner up more than
100% in conversions on flat clicks, any partner that converted this week but not last
week, and any program-level conversion-rate move over 20%.
6. Write a 2 to 3 sentence plain-language commentary, then format the digest with the
headline numbers, top 5, movers, and anomalies. Address it to {recipients} with a
{program_name} subject line, and return it so I can read it before anything sends.

Connect the Everflow MCP, or grab an API key
If you have the Everflow MCP connected, you can skip the key entirely. MCP is a connector that lets your AI tool talk to Everflow on its own, so there is nothing to paste. No MCP yet? Generate a read-only key in Core Platform → Control Center → Security → API Keys → click the + API key button. Read-only on Reporting is enough.
Pick your delivery channel
Email (via Gmail / Apps Script / SMTP) or Slack (via incoming webhook). Both work; email is the default for the "boss-readable" version.
Run the prompt
With MCP connected, just run the prompt as written. On the API tab, first replace {API_KEY}, {NETWORK_ID}, {RECIPIENTS}, and {TIMEZONE}, then run it.
Run it once in Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini
First run gives you last week's snapshot versus the week before, plus a draft email body. Verify the numbers match what you see on the Reporting page. The same prompt works in any of the three.
Tune the commentary
The prompt includes a 2–3 sentence commentary block. First run is generic; tighten it to your voice and what your boss actually cares about.
Yes. And they're great for getting raw data delivered on a schedule. Pick your columns, pick your window, get a report attached to an email. If you just need the numbers in your inbox on a schedule, use them.
This recipe adds the layer Scheduled Reports doesn't: week-over-week deltas, biggest movers, unusual movement flags, and a one-paragraph commentary a human would write. Customers who use Scheduled Reports often run this on top. The native feature gives you the data, the recipe gives you the read.
Make and Zapier are easiest if you've never written code. Google Apps Script is free and lives next to your Gmail; if your weekly report sends from a @yourcompany.com email, Apps Script is the cleanest. All three trigger the same prompt the same way.
Weekly is the schedule most affiliate program managers actually meet on. MoM smooths out the noise, but it also smooths out the early signal. A partner whose CVR collapsed yesterday won't show up MoM until next month. WoW lets you catch problems while there's still time to act. Run a separate MoM report for the exec / investor schedule.
If a partner was paused intentionally during the window, the digest annotates the drop (e.g., "paused, confirmed with AM, resumes next Monday") instead of flagging it as an anomaly.
WoW deltas can be misleading on partners with weekly seasonality (weekend-heavy publishers, B2B with weekday spikes). The digest surfaces a MoM comparison alongside WoW on any partner where the WoW delta exceeds 50%.
Anomaly detection uses a two-window check: a conversion-spike with flat clicks is the textbook tracking-dup pattern, so the digest calls those out specifically rather than just labeling "big mover."
Brand-new partners (under 30 days) get their own "new this week" section so a 1,400-conversion week-1 doesn't get celebrated before payout quality is verified.
Partner Self-Serve: The same shape works for partners self-serving the answer. Swap affiliate_id = self and a partner-scoped API key, and any partner can run this recipe against their own performance, no AM needed. Useful for networks that want partners to answer “How am I doing?” on their own. Everflow reps have asked for this pattern on 6+ calls.
