The Ultimate Affiliate Data Stream for Looker Dashboards
Eradicate marketing data silos. Stream Tapfiliate conversion events directly into your data warehouse to build unified, enterprise-grade Looker dashboards – without custom ETL engineering.
Trusted by Over 69,500+ Customers
The Tapfiliate + Looker integration solves the enterprise “Behavioral Blind Spot” by ensuring your partnership data is never isolated. By utilizing Tapfiliate’s robust Webhooks or automation bridges (like Zapier/Make), you can stream click, conversion, and commission data directly into the underlying data warehouse (such as BigQuery, Amazon Redshift, or Snowflake) that powers your Looker instance. This creates a single source of truth for your data analysts.
Pros of Tapfiliate + Looker Integration:
- Eliminate Manual ETL: Replace weekly, error-prone CSV data dumps with automated, real-time webhook event streaming.
- Advanced LookML Modeling: Join Tapfiliate’s `affiliate_id` and `conversion_metadata` with your product and CRM tables to run complex profitability queries.
- Margin & ROAS Clarity: Calculate exact Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) by comparing affiliate commission payouts against actual user retention metrics.
- Zero-Friction Scalability: As your partner network grows, your data pipeline scales automatically without breaking your existing BI infrastructure.

Three Steps to Integrate Tapfiliate with Looker
Step 1
Establish the Data Stream:
Configure Tapfiliate Webhooks (or use a middleware like Zapier/Make) to trigger payloads for events like `conversion_created` and `commission_approved`
Step 2
Ingest to Data Warehouse
Route these JSON payloads into the primary data warehouse (e.g., Google BigQuery) that is connected to your Looker environment.
Step 3
Model in LookML
Define your new affiliate data views in LookML, establish primary key joins with your user/transaction tables, and push the metrics to your central marketing Explores and Dashboards.
Use cases
SaaS & Multi-Touch Attribution
How CloudScale Unified Cross-Channel CAC Reporting
CloudScale’s BI team struggled to accurately measure CAC because affiliate conversions were tracked separately from paid media. By piping Tapfiliate webhook data into BigQuery and modeling it in Looker, they established a unified attribution model.
This centralization eliminated “double attribution” errors where paid search and affiliates claimed the same conversion. The resulting Looker dashboard provided executive clarity, allowing the growth team to reallocate $50k/month in ad spend with 100% confidence.
E-commerce & Profit Margins
How ThreadWorks Visualized Partner LTV
ThreadWorks needed to know if discount-driven affiliates were bringing in high-churn buyers. They integrated Tapfiliate data into Looker to map partner IDs against historical customer purchase data.
The new Looker Explorers revealed that three specific micro-influencers drove cohorts with a 40% higher 12-month LTV than average. The brand immediately increased commission rates for these VIP partners, driving a 22% increase in high-value retained customers.
Fintech & Compliance
How SecurePay Automated Commission Liability Audits
SecurePay’s finance team wasted hours manually auditing pending affiliate payouts against cleared financial transactions. By feeding Tapfiliate data directly into their Looker financial dashboards, they automated the reconciliation process.
This real-time visibility reduced end-of-month audit times by 80%. The finance team could instantly visualize pending commission liabilities against actual cleared revenue, ensuring complete cash-flow compliance.
