Skimlinks integration for Rig
The easiest way to connect Skimlinks to Claude and other AI tools
Skimlinks turns ordinary product links in editorial content into affiliate links, and reports the commissions those links earn for publishers.
What Rig syncs from Skimlinks
Once connected, Rig models these objects so questions resolve to the right tables and joins:
- Commissions
- Daily performance by date, merchant, page, link and device
- Click reports
- Page reports
- Products bought
- Payment status
- Deactivated merchants
How Skimlinks connects to Rig
Give Rig a client ID, secret and publisher ID. Rig syncs commission-level revenue, daily performance snapshots broken down by date, merchant, page, link and device, click and page aggregate reports, products bought, payment status and deactivated merchants.
Find the content that earns
Affiliate revenue concentrates in a small number of pages, and knowing which ones changes what you commission next. Page-level reporting in the warehouse lets you rank content by revenue rather than by pageviews.
- Which articles earn the most affiliate commission?
- What is revenue per thousand pageviews by content category?
- Which older pieces still earn and are worth updating?
Understand merchant mix and risk
Revenue leaning on a few merchants is a risk you only notice when one deactivates. With merchant-level commissions and the deactivated-merchant list in the warehouse, concentration and churn are visible in advance.
- What share of our affiliate revenue comes from our top five merchants?
- Which merchants deactivated recently, and what did they earn?
- Which merchants have the best conversion from our traffic?
Reconcile earned against paid
Affiliate commission is earned, then confirmed, then paid, and the gap between those states is where reconciliation goes wrong. Payment status alongside commissions makes pending, approved and paid amounts a query rather than a spreadsheet.
- How much commission is earned but not yet paid?
- What proportion of commission gets reversed after approval?
- How long does payment take by merchant?
Ask your Skimlinks data in Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor
Rig serves your Skimlinks data to AI assistants over MCP. Once Skimlinks is synced into your warehouse, you can ask questions in plain English from the tool you already use, and every answer is backed by validated, governed SQL.
