This type is suitable for both single and broadcast campaigns.

Create and Import a File with Promo Codes

The first step is to create a file with promo codes. Essentially, it’s a regular CSV file where you build a database of promo codes.

To see the file example, go to your profile → Settings → Promo codes → File example.

It should include the following parameters:

  • code - promo code;
  • expirationDate - promo code expiration date in one of the formats: yyyy-MM-dd, yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss, yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm, yyyy.MM.dd;
  • discount - discount;
  • type - promo code type (letters and numbers).

Important

If you need to use only promo codes without other parameters, upload a file only with a code column.

If you upload only promo codes, tick the corresponding checkbox.

Create an Email

For Promo Codes Only

Insert the variable %PC_GENERAL% where you want your promo code in the email. At the moment of the campaign launch, the system will automatically replace it with the first valid promo code in the list.

For Promo Codes with Additional Parameters

Insert the variable %PC_TYPE_EXPARATIONDATE_DISCOUNT%, where you want your promo code in the email. It may look as follows: %PC_NewYear_1_7% where: NewYear is a promo code type, 1 is the minimum number of days the promo code is valid, and 7 is the disсount.

Note

We recommend setting a minimum validity period for the promo code to 1 day so that the sending of promo codes continues until there are active promo codes in the file.
