APPLYING COUPON CODE IN DELIVERY SCRIPTS?

[Adobeuser000]

Looking for a delivery script wiz to help with this question:

- How do I activated coupon codes from the delivery script? (Rather than directly from the delivery properties/advanced/coupon management!)

The purpose behind this is to allow us to enable/disable coupon codes in a single delivery template using multiple delivery activities/nodes.

One delivery activity has an inbound audience that does not need  coupons. The other delivery activity with the same delivery template applied, Does need coupons. 

Thank you

Hi @Adobeuser000 , For an one time send instead of script there is a simple way of doing it using the line number as identifier.

Step1: Load your coupons from local computer or dowloand it from SFTP location. Data loading will automatically assign line numbers to the coupon values and add it has a additional data using enrichment.

Step2: Split the audience who needs coupon and generate line numbers to the audience.

Step3: Assign the coupon variable to audience by mapping the line numbers using enrichment.

Step4: Call the coupon varibale in your delivery.

In this way the records who don't have line numbers will not receive coupons. You can also track the assigned coupons by extracting the data.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Unfortunately this method isn't suitable in conjunction with our configuration. Our FT codes are generated automatically at the point of delivery. But it was a great suggestion.

Hello @Adobeuser000 ,

You can use - delivery object modification script, just change the coupon settings dynamically. How to find coupon  xpathsettings within the delivery object?

• Open delivery template
• Set the coupon manually
• Save it
• Edit --> Edit XML source..
• look for coupon section <coupon

It looks like its element directly under delivery and its path is delivery.coupon

  <coupon _cs="test (Coupons)" code="BOGO2023" id="5530" type="0"/>

In delivery object modification script you can access the coupon dynamically with use of:

//you can access the parameters and set them as you need
delivery.coupon.id = 0;

But also it does not matter if you assign coupons to delivery if you do not use them in content.. so you can also create conditions in delivery when to use coupons
