Vouchers

Spotler ActivatePro allows you to add vouchers to your outgoing messages. You can import voucher codes as a .csv or .txt file, and distribute them among your audience. You can also turn on notifications, for example, if the remaining voucher codes run too low, or if they expire.

In this article we explain:

• How to create a voucher
• How to use vouchers

How to create a voucher

• Give your Voucher Pool a meaningful name.

• Click on Choose File to import the Voucher Codes. Make sure that the file:
  • Does not exceed 100,000 Voucher Codes.
  • Does not contain repeated / duplicated Codes.
  • Contains One Voucher code per line, with no comma after the code.

• Add Additional Metadata about the Vouchers, as needed.

  • Value - Set the voucher's value.
  • Currency - Choose the voucher's currency (e.g. EUR)
  • Minimum Basket - Determine the minimum basket value for eligibility for the voucher.
  • Valid from/Valid to - Choose the time period during which the vouchers will be valid.
  • Conditions - Determine the conditions limiting the voucher’s use.

• Choose Notification Settings for your Vouchers.
  • To receive an alert when the amount of Vouchers are running low, check the first box and provide a Threshold Quantity, and an email address to send the alert to.
  • To receive an alert if the Vouchers Expire while they are still being used in a campaign, check the second box and provide an email address. This option requires a Valid To date in the Additional Metadata.

You can now view your Voucher Pool and monitor how many codes are spent. Simply go to More > Vouchers, find your relevant Voucher Pool, and click on it to see details.

How to use vouchers

You can add a voucher pool to any of your campaign messages, using the #VoucherPool Helper Function. To avoid writing code, you can copy the function directly from Spotler ActivatePro. The #VoucherPool Helper Function has the following syntax:

{{#voucherPool '{"name": [Voucher pool name]}'}}
{{[Voucher pool attribute]}} 
{{/voucherPool}}

Add vouchers to Messages

Instead of writing a Handlebar expression from scratch, it is possible to obtain the relevant expressions from within the platform.
