  5. Select your chosen trigger from the available options.
  6. Click Send a coupon in the Action section.
    Note: The Visitors trigger will not have the Send a coupon action because your site won't have access to email addresses of visitors who haven't logged in.
  7. Select whether to send a unique coupon each time in the Set Coupon section.
  8. Click the Select or create a coupon template drop-down to choose the coupon you'd like to use or create a new one.

  12. Click the Timing section to expand it.
  13. Click the Choose a time to send this action drop-down to select when the action should be carried out:
    • Immediately: The action is performed as soon as the trigger occurs.
    • Set custom time: The action is performed after the trigger, at a time set by you. Click the up and down arrows to set the number and click the drop-down to choose between days, hours and minutes.
  14. Click the Limit frequency to drop-down to set trigger frequency:
    • Don't limit (trigger every time): Your action will take place every time it is triggered by a visitor.
    • Once per contact: Your action will take place only once per contact.
    • Once per contact every 24hrs: Your action will take place only once per contact in any 24hr period.
  15. Click Activate.
Important:
  • This automation will stop working and its status will change to "On Hold"  if the coupon end date or use limit is reached.
  • If you change the action from Send an email to Send a coupon, the email template will not be copied and will need to be redesigned.
