We have a series of special events coming up which we want to promote to existing donors via email invitations. The general public is not invited. We want to allow only a select group to purchase tickets to the event. 

 

Our ideal scenario is that there is a promotional code in the email invite that people can enter into the event registration/donation form in order to buy the event tickets/donate.

 

We would need to validate the promotional code in the donation form. Any ideas on how to do this? Or other ideas for the limiting attendees to invitations only?

    Hi Elizabeth,

     

    You can include the promo code in the link to your ticketed event or donation form with the s_promoCode URL parameter.  Just add this to the end of the URL:

     


    &s_promoCode=value

     where "value" is the promo code you've configured.

     

    Another option would be to set this ticketed event or donation form to a security category that is only viewable by logged in members of a specific constituent group containing the appropriate people.  For this option, I would also suggest enabling autologin links for the email campaign you're using, to make things easier on your supporters.

    Chris provided us with this code to add to donation pages. We just need to set the promo code in the code and on the donation levels. See attached.

    BTW: the promo code value is cap-sensitive. You have to provide the value EXACTLY as you entered on the form build.
