How to get ClickBank to Email You When You Make New Sales---Improved version!

As a Clickbank affiliate, do you have the habit to check your data every 20 minutes?

ScoTech has posted a script here:

And we also discussed the script here:

With this simple script, you can receive email notification instantly without login to your clickbank account.

This version of script requires the php function mail(),but maybe your hosting company do not allow you to use this function, so I have made some modifications. Then you can use smtp provided by any other email servers. I have tested this script with gmail and it worked perfectly!

Make a new file mail.php

<?php
function cbValid()
{   
$key=' You Own Secret Key';   
$ccustname = $_REQUEST['ccustname'];   
  $ccustemail = $_REQUEST['ccustemail'];    
  $ccustcc = $_REQUEST['ccustcc'];    
  $ccuststate = $_REQUEST['ccuststate'];    
  $ctransreceipt = $_REQUEST['ctransreceipt'];    
  $cproditem = $_REQUEST['cproditem'];    
  $ctransaction = $_REQUEST['ctransaction'];   
  $ctransaffiliate = $_REQUEST['ctransaffiliate'];   
  $ctranspublisher = $_REQUEST['ctranspublisher'];    
  $cprodtype = $_REQUEST['cprodtype'];   
  $cprodtitle = $_REQUEST['cprodtitle'];   
  $ctranspaymentmethod = $_REQUEST['ctranspaymentmethod'];    
  $ctransamount = $_REQUEST['ctransamount'];    
  $caffitid = $_REQUEST['caffitid'];    
  $cvendthru = $_REQUEST['cvendthru'];    
  $cbpop = $_REQUEST['cverify'];           
   $xxpop = sha1("$ccustname|$ccustemail|$ccustcc|$ccuststate|$ctransreceipt|$cproditem|$ctransaction|"        ."$ctransaffiliate|$ctranspublisher|$cprodtype|$cprodtitle|$ctranspaymentmethod|$ctransamount|$caffitid|$cvendthru|$key");   
   $xxpop=strtoupper(substr($xxpop,0,8));    
   if ($cbpop==$xxpop) return 1;    
   else return 0;
   }
   
   /*If your hosting company allow you to use mail(),you can use this code and delete all of the following lines:
   if (cbValid())mail("kandypp@139.com", "ClickBank - " . $_REQUEST['ctransaction'],"Product: " . $_REQUEST['cprodtitle'] . "\nPublisher: " . $_REQUEST['ctranspublisher'] . "\nAffiliate: " . $_REQUEST['ctransaffiliate'] . "\nTransaction: " . $_REQUEST['ctransaction'] . "\nAmount: " . $_REQUEST['ctransamount'] . "\nTid: " . $_REQUEST['caffitid']);
   */

  //If your hosting company do not support mail (), please use the following code and send email by using other smtp server such as gmail.
  require_once 'Mail.php';

  $conf['mail'] = array(
    'host' => 'smtp.gmail.com', //smtp server, ip address or domain are both OK
    'auth' => true, //true mean the smtp server requires authorzation, false means no need
    'username' => 'Gmail_Username@gmail.com', //Username
    'password' => 'Gmail_Password' //Password
  );

  $headers['From'] = 'Gmail_Username@gmail.com'; //Your email address with the smtp server
  $headers['To'] = 'YourEmail@AnyDomain.com'; //Your email address used to receive notifications
  $headers['Subject'] = 'ClickBank Sales - '.$_REQUEST['ctransaction']; //Title
  $mail_object = &Mail::factory('smtp', $conf['mail']);

  $body = "Product: " . $_REQUEST['cprodtitle'] . "\nPublisher: " . $_REQUEST['ctranspublisher'] . "\nAffiliate: " . $_REQUEST['ctransaffiliate'] . "\nTransaction: " . $_REQUEST['ctransaction'] . "\nAmount: " . $_REQUEST['ctransamount'] . "\nTid: " . $_REQUEST['caffitid'];

  $mail_res = $mail_object->send($headers['To'], $headers, $body); //Send

  if (PEAR::isError($mail_res)) {
   echo("<p>" . $mail->getMessage() . "</p>");
} else {
   echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
}

?>

PHP:

Remember to change these things:

1： $key='Your Own Secret Key'; Uppercase letters and numbers only
2： 'username' => 'Gmail_Username@gmail.com', //Your gmail address or other email address with smtp server
3： 'password' => 'Gmail_Password' //Your password for gmail or other email address.
4： $headers['From'] = 'Gmail_Username@gmail.com'; //The same as point 2
5：$headers['To'] = 'YourEmail@AnyDomain.com'; //Your Email address used to receive email notifications.

Upload this file to your web server, Then
1. Log into your account
2. Click the "Account Settings" tab
3. Click "My Site" in the sub nav
4. Locate the "Instant Notification" field and click the "Click HERE to request access" hyper link
5. Fill out the form and thoroughly review the terms of use.
6. Click the "Submit" button at the bottom of the form
7. Enter a Secret Key (Uppercase letters and numbers only) into the "My Site" Screen
8. Enter the URL of the file you uploaded to your site into the Instant Notification Box
9. Hit Save Changes
10. Click on Test next to the address you entered, and you should get a test email!

Note: If your cell phone providers can forward emails to your phone, you would just put your phone email in instead of an address, then you can receive sms notification when you make a sale!

I have also put the code of the php file on my Google Docs, please go to my website and download it:

I mean is it safe for people to use it or can people get your secret code from the code.

 

The API is supported by Clickbank:
http://www.clickbank.com/blog/2008/08/08/operate-in-real-time-with-the-clickbank-api/

You secret Key and the URL is set within you account, the php file is put in your own server. If someone get your php file, since he could not make any changes to your file, so nothing will be unsafe

 

OMG, just use www.cbnotify.com

Simple.

 

Clickbank is sending me emails about my sales without any scripts...

I don't really see the purpose of all these sites and scripts if you can have clickbank to do it instead.

 

Yes, as mikey1090 said, this is for publisher, but the script is for both publisher and affiliate

 

Ah I see. I never made a lot of sales as an affiliate so I thought they implemented this recently

 

doesn't work for me. googlemail requires STARTTLS (whatever it is) to access smtp
is google mail different to gmail? i thought it was the same

 

Google mail should be the same as Gmail

 

Thanks for that - I hadn't even heard of it before but I installed it today and it works nicely.

 

yeah that's what i thought.
so i don't get how the topicstarter managed to use the code with gmail when it asks for TSL connection to access smtp server.

 

this seems interesting, will check this out later.
