NOTES:

  1. The preview image is a preview for the microsite landing page only and not an exact replica of what will appear on the digital pass that will be generated when the user clicks to add the pass to GPay or Apple Wallet.
  2. The digital pass will not be generated UNTIL the user clicks to add the pass to GPay or Apple Wallet.
  3. The "sample code" text beneath the barcode in the preview image will be replaced with the redemption code, but that code is not displayed on the preview as the digital pass has not been generated yet.

DELIVERING COUPONS TO SUBSCRIBERS

Once the coupon is created, there are a few ways it can be delivered: either as a response to a subscriber who is interacting with a program (via an Interactive Program, like a Text Response or Multistep Program) or via a marketing message (aka a Broadcast message). In either case, the coupon reference ID must be inserted into the message body.

For Interactive Programs, such as a Text Response Program, you will craft your Reply and then use the Dynamic Content menu to select the coupon you wish to deliver:

  1. Expand the Dynamic Coupon menu to select the coupon you wish to deliver.
  2. Select it and click Insert to add it into your Reply:

The coupon reference ID will be inserted into the Reply based on the position of your cursor:

  1. For Broadcast Messages, you will enter the Message Details and then use the Dynamic Content menu to select the coupon you wish to deliver:

The numbers displayed when you insert the coupon represent the coupon ID; this dynamic content will be replaced for each subscriber to display either the plain text redemption code, or the link to the microsite (for the QR code or digital pass).

Users will receive their message with the appropriate dynamic content inserted:

Upon clicking the URL in the message, users will be taken to the microsite:

Once the Apple Wallet or Google Pay button is clicked, the user will have an option to add the digital pass to the Wallet or Google Pay:

Then, the user will be able to access the digital pass from either their wallet or Google Pay:

This is what the pass looks like from within Apple Wallet:
