Refer a Friend: Coupons

Introduction

As described in a previous article, Refer a Friend Campaigns can have coupons to send offers to their users.

You should be able to manage your campaign coupons from the panel on the content section:

Coupons

You can create coupons separately for referrer and referred but you will see them in a single list.

Each coupon has the following attributes:

Create a Coupon

To create a coupon, simply click on the "Create New" button on the top right corner of the panel, and the following dialog will be displayed:

Edit a Coupon

At any time you can enable or disable a coupon, simply by clicking on the edit button on the right side of each coupon:

Import Coupons

You can also import multiple coupons at once using a CSV file. Simply click on the "Import coupons" button on the top right corner of the panel, and the following dialog will be displayed:

CSV Format

The CSV file should have the following columns:

Example:

coupon,owner,reusable

Spring2019,referrer,1

Spring2019,referred,1

wdsf13ff34,referrer,0

edfsre4235,referred,0

038295itop,referrer,0

09egifuyor,referred,0

Important Notes

File Validation

Make sure your CSV file is valid. Remember to use double quotes (") if a value contains a comma to avoid invalidating the file.
Make sure there is no spaces before or after the commas separating the columns

✔️Correct: Spring2019,referrer,1

❌Wrong: Spring2019, referrer, 1

File Format

Always create a file using UTF-8 encoding.

Coupons in Email Messages

You can use freely the coupons into the email messages, both subject and body. Make sure you use the following variable:

%{coupon}

To denote the coupon value.

NOTE: Be careful when you insert variables and add format to them. The variable should be whole as a string in the HTML in order to be replaced properly. Spaces or HTML elements like <span> in between the characters will prevent value replacing.

Conditions

Keep note that if there are no available coupons to be used, and the referrer or the referred email contents require a coupon, the campaign will not be displayed at all.
