How to Send Promotional Gift Cards using Omnisend
To send a Gift Card, you would first need to Create a Flow on Omnisend.
To create a flow Click on Automation - > Click on New Workflow -> Click on Create Custom Workflow.
Next, click on the Trigger block - > Choose 99minds-SendGiftcard event from Drop Down - > Click on Update.
Next, click the email action box, drag the email block to the correct location as shown below. Next, add proceed with all the needed steps to set up the email and click the Edit Content button. Select the 'Yes, save' option in the popup.
After doing so, choose how you'd like to design your email.
Note! Make sure to add all the needed info about the Gift card to one of the Text blocks of your email. So, a customer would be able to use his/her Gift card.
Then create a segment of customers you want to send the gift cards to and save it.
Important! Make sure your segment doesn't include a huge number of customers. Otherwise, it'll take a lot of time to send the email to all of them through automation, as workflows aren't meant to send emails in bulk, like email campaigns. A good idea would be to create a segment of your loyalists or champions using our Customer Breakdown lifecycle stages.
Once the segment is created, go to Audience -> Click on Export - Click on New Export -> and Download as shown below.
You need to upload the downloaded file to 99minds next.
Click on Choose File -> 99minds Campaigns -> Select Campaign -> Enter Gift Card Amount and Send.
