Promo Codes in One-Time Campaigns
What is it?
We’ve added a new Hub action that lets you send a promo code directly to a member (or newsletter subscribers) in One-Time-Actions:
- Personalized promo codes: Generated or Imported lists of unique codes (one per recipient).
-
Fixed promo codes use a single code for all recipients (e.g.,BlackFriday30)
Why does it matter?
Until now, promo codes could only be shared manually. With this action, you can:
- Send individual promo codes using One-Time-Actions.
- Decide whether to send via SMS or Email.
- Ensure each code is unique and used only once.
How it works
- In the Hub, go to the Campaign Center.
- Create One-Time-Action and choose Send Promo Code.
- A drop-down shows the set up promo codes that the merchant had created in advance in the Promo Code screen.
- Select the specific Promo Code Benefit you want to send.
- Choose the delivery channel: SMS or Email.
- Add a Mention (Members: Send Promo Code) to link a unique code to each target recipient
Important notes
- Codes are sent on a one-time basis; once used, they can’t be sent again.
- Mentions ensure the code is tied to the right recipient.
- On send, each queued recipient is checked for a code; if available, we insert it and send the campaign to that recipient; if not, that recipient is skipped.
- The system ensures only unused codes are sent. If no codes are available, the action won’t run and recipients will not receive the campaign.
FAQs
-
What happens if no promo codes are available?
The action will not run, and no message will be sent. If there are limited codes, some recipients may receive the campaign with a code, while others will not receive the campaign due to insufficient codes.
-
Can the same member receive more than one promo code?
Yes, as long as the campaign is set up to send different codes, a member may receive multiple codes across different activities.
-
What happens if a code is sent but not redeemed?
The code remains active until its expiration date (if defined) or until the member redeems it.

Additional enhancements:
Generic Date Automation
Businesses have been able to define up to 10 Generic Date fields in their registration form for some time, primarily as simple placeholders for important dates like anniversaries, sign-up dates, or custom milestones. Previously, their use was limited to basic filtering and display. The recent enhancement now allows these dates to be fully utilized in campaigns, rules, deals, and one-time actions, enabling automated and more complex date-based workflows across the platform.
How it works:
- The Generic Date fields are not enabled by default.
To ensure they are configured correctly, go to Business Profile → Registration Form → Generic Date Fields 1–10 and verify that all settings are properly applied.
- Once the Generic Date fields are configured correctly in the registration form, they can be used throughout the platform and can now also be leveraged in campaigns, rules, deals, and one-time actions. You can also choose the execution frequency (once-ever or annually) and set the exact timing for each rule, enabling fully automated date-based workflows
This makes managing date-based campaigns much easier - directly from the UI, no manual edits needed.

Data & BI
