Web: how to set promo codes in banners

Prerequisites

To work with on-site personalization, first, they need to be set by the Meiro team:

1. Activation of the endpoint in the Meiro Events (ME) system should be implemented in order to collect events.

2. Meiro Events API connection must be set in the Administration/Configurations/Settings tab.  

3. Channels/Web tabs must be enabled by the administrator for your user role. 

4. For native banners, it is required to place a DOM element with a unique ID in the HTML code of the website where the banner will be displayed.

Promo codes tab

The “Promo codes” setting is under the Channels tab in Meiro Business Explorer. Here you can add the list of codes your cms generated.

To create a list, a CSV file with codes is required. Make sure there is only one column containing the codes and nothing else in the CSV file.

Warning: Most programs format CSV correctly, but some may need manual input, e.g., Numbers. When formatting manually, it is important to insert values into double quotes "" e.g. "!@#$%^&*(),.;'k2" "PROMO{!}" "PROMO{!}" "quotes:""".

When another CSV file is uploaded - the incremental addition will occur - duplicates will be ignored, and new entries will be added to the database.

Warning: We do not recommend keeping one long list and re-uploading it many times. If some codes are used, they are no longer in the list and will not be treated as duplicates when re-uploading the original list - it will cause used codes to be added back onto the list again.

Web tab

When setting up a banner, set an API call that confirms the code from the list you intend to use.

For example: https://cdp.{{CLIENT_INSTANCE_NAME}}.meiro.io/promo_codes/&listID

The list ID can be obtained by clicking the button next to the created promo code list.

banner code example:

<body style="background: white; margin: 0">
  <p id="promo"></p>
  <script>
    function getPromoCode() {
      const bannerResponses = window.parent.MeiroEvents.getWebBannerHttpResponses();
      const promoCodeResponse = bannerResponses.find((res) => res?.data?.promo_code);
      return promoCodeResponse?.data?.promo_code;
    }

    var promoCode = getPromoCode();

    if (promoCode) {
      document.getElementById('promo').textContent = promoCode;
    }
  </script>
</body>

The topmost code from the list is taken and deleted.
