Voucher helper functions
The voucher helper function lets you access any voucher pool created on CrossEngage and its attributes, so that you may send personalised discount codes to a user through any channel you have set up.
The
#voucherPool helper function is used to access any voucher pools that you have set up in CrossEngage. Upon message dispatch, the function will access the selected pool and extract a voucher for each user. Our system will remove any assigned vouchers from the selected pool to ensure that no duplicate vouchers can be sent.
The syntax of this helper function is:
{{#voucherPool '{"name": [Voucher pool name]}'}}
{{[Voucher pool attribute]}}
{{/voucherPool}}

Displaying a discount
For this example, we access the
Summer Sale voucher pool. This example voucher pool is valid from 01.07.2018 until 30.08.2018 and offers EUR 30.00 discounts to all shop visitors that make orders over EUR 200.00 in the category Summer Sale. To display the voucher pool's validity dates in our preferred
dd/mm/yyyy format, we will use the date formatting function.{{#voucherPool '{"name": "Summer Sale Discount"}'}}
Use {{code}} to save {{value}} {{currency}} on your next order!
(valid {{computeDate '{"dateTrait": "validFrom", "outputFormat": "dd/MM/yyyy"}'}}
until {{computeDate '{"dateTrait": "validTo", "outputFormat": "dd/MM/yyyy"}'}})
*Only valid for purchases over {{minBasket}} {{currency}}.
