How do I integrate coupon codes into my mailing?
You can find a list of all coupon codes that have already been imported under Content > Coupon codes. The remaining amount is reduced after each delivery that uses codes from the corresponding list and assigns one to each recipient.
Import of coupon codes
- Import coupon codes into promio.connect by going to the menu item Content > Coupon code lists and then clicking the button on the bottom right.
. - Select the directory that contains the coupon code list you want to import. After selecting your file, click the Start upload button.
- After successfully importing the list, it is advisable to check the codes and their amount (remaining quantity) in the coupon code table.
Adding new coupon codes
When the codes in a coupon code list are running low, you can add more codes directly to that list.
Under Content → Coupon Code Lists, you can select the list to which codes should be added. Using the plus symbol in the upper right corner, you can easily upload an additional file containing codes to the list. The file should be single-column and in CSV format, similar to creating a code list.
Submitting the action will add the codes to the list.
For existing code lists, the codes will be added without duplicate checking.
For newly created code lists, the codes will be added without duplicates. If the added file contains only codes that are already in the list, the list will remain unchanged.
The message displays both the number of codes added (imported) and the total number of codes available in the list after the import (size).
List of assigned messages
The details page of a coupon code list under Content → Coupon code lists provides the following information:
* Available: Number of codes currently included in the code list. This number decreases by the number of recipients when the code list is assigned to a letter and sent. The number increases when codes are added to the list. * Added: Number of codes added to the list. The Added count increases when codes are added to the list. * Used or Deleted: This count is calculated as the difference between Available and Added. The Used count increases by the number of recipients when the code list is assigned to a letter and sent.
