Trigger Rules¶

A Trigger Rule defines an event (or multiple events) that will cause WooCommerce data to be sent to a Zapier Zap.

The following trigger rules are available to trigger your Zaps when coupon data in your WooCommerce store is added, changed or deleted.

Coupon created¶

Triggers when a coupon is created.

Coupon deleted¶

Triggers when a coupon is deleted (trashed).

Due to limitations in how WooCommerce handles deleted events, only the ID of the deleted resource is sent to Zapier when using this trigger rule. No other data fields are available.

Coupon restored¶

Triggers when an already trashed coupon is restored from the trash.

Coupon updated¶

Triggers when a coupon is updated/edited/changed/modified.

Actions and Searches¶

The following actions are available for use in your Zaps to create, update or find coupons.

Create Coupon¶

Creates a new Coupon in WooCommerce.

A common use case of this action is to automatically create a unique coupon code for each customer that joins your mailing list.

To achieve this, in your Zap’s Create Coupon action, you would set the Email Restrictions data field to your customer’s email address from the Trigger (step 1) part of your Zap:

When automatically creating Coupons in Zaps, it’s usually best to use simple, unique alphanumeric coupon codes.

You can add a Code by Zapier step to your Zap which automatically generates an alphanumeric coupon code (a-z, 0-9 and hyphens only) based on the customer’s email address:

Input Data:

• customer → User Email Address From Step 1 in Your Zap (or any other uniquely identifiable information such as a customer name).

// Generate an alphanumeric coupon code
// (a-z, 0-9 and hyphens) based on the input.
return { slug: input.customer.replace(/[^A-Za-z0-9-]+/g, "") };

You can then use the result of this Code by Zapier step in your Create Coupon action:

Please see here for some suggestions for using the WooCommerce URL Coupons Extension.

Create Input Fields¶

Update Coupon¶

Updates (modifies) an existing Coupon in WooCommerce.

An update action always requires a valid top-level ID to be specified. This ensures that your Zap knows which record to update. On the other hand, any non-top-level ID is optional. If you leave it empty, WooCommerce will create a new entry, such as a new Meta Data item.

To help identify the correct Resource ID, you can add a Find step before your update step. The result of your Find step will contain the Resource ID, which you can then use in the Update step.

Update Input Fields¶

Find Coupon¶

Searches for an existing Coupon in WooCommerce. Optionally create one if none are found.

All available search fields can be viewed here. We recommend using the following search fields:

• Code: Searches for the specified coupon code.
• Search: Searches the Coupon Name and Coupon Description fields for the specified string/term/phrase.
• Coupon ID: Searches for the specified (numeric) coupon ID.
