Discount codes
Mailocator allows you to pass discount and promotional codes to email campaigns
How discount codes are processed
You can divide discount codes into sets and use each set for a specific campaign - you can use a different series of codes for exit-intent and another for welcome.
After successfully sending an email address, the discount code is passed to the email tool, which delivers it to the user.
After successful processing, you can have the discount code displayed directly in the thank you message.
Types of discount codes
Unique codes - each customer gets their own unique code.
Daily code - all customers will receive the same code with limited validity within one day.
Codes obtained in real time from an external API - more on this topic

Expert settings
By sending a hidden input with the name of the stack, you can dynamically assign stacks to different designs across campaigns - for example during A / B testing:
