This setup is useful if you want to offer a discount to influencers for their own use, without encouraging them to promote or share the code publicly. Each code will be unique and can only be used once.
Step 1: Create unique discount codes for each influencer
Go to the Community app.
Select the influencers who should receive a discount code.
You can filter by Campaign name if needed. Learn how to filter by Campaign nameAt the top, click "% Affiliates" in the action bar and choose "Create a new tracking plan".
Follow the steps in this guide to finish setup: How to create and track influencer discount codes
⚠️ Important: When setting up your tracking plan, make sure to adjust the limits:
Toggle on "Limit the number of times this discount code can be used in total" and enter “1”
Toggle on "Limit to one use per customer"
This ensures the code is single-use and cannot be reused or shared.
Best practice:
If you need to create codes for new influencers later, just select them in Community, go to % Affiliates, and choose Select an existing tracking plan. Pick the same plan you used before to assign more codes without creating a new one.
Step 2: Send the codes through a Campaign email
Open your Campaign table view
Select the influencers you want to email
Click the Email bubble that appears at the top
Fill in your mailing details:
Mailing name: Choose something easy to recognize later
From: Select your sender email
Subject and Email content: Draft your message
To insert the discount codes:
At the bottom of the email editor, click the third icon (the chain link bubble) and select Unlink
Search for and select the tracking plan name you created in step 1
Click Link, then click the icon again and select
{{discount_code}}
When everything looks good, click Save and send.
Each influencer will receive their own personal discount code.
Use the Preview toggle at the bottom left to check how the email will appear before sending.
Best practice
If you add new influencers later, you don’t need to create a new mailing:
Select the new influencers in the Campaign table view
Click "…" > "+ Add to"
Choose "Mailings" and pick the original mailing by name
Click "Add creators". New influencers will get the same email. Anyone who already received it won’t get it again
Need to check what a mailing looks like?
Go to your Inbox
Use the dropdown in the top-left corner to view all mailings
Click a name to review the email content
Step 3: Track code usage
To see if an influencer has used their code:
In the Community tab, click Manage Fields in the top-right.
Open the Tracking plan category.
Find the tracking plan you created and add the Number of sales column.
If the number shows "1", the code has been used.
Pro tip:
Filter by the Campaign column to only see influencers from a specific campaign.
Save this filter as a custom view for quicker access later. Learn how to create table views
