Hi @GeorgeW ,

Welcome to the Community. 

I’m curious as to how the Flow is set up and what the steps are the allows customers to “wait until” the final code is sent in the email. 

In the meantime, I would also recommend taking a look at this community post about coupon codes:

Hi @GeorgeW 

What is the trigger your have set up for your flow? Do people frequently re-enter it? If so I would use a filter to not allow anyone to enter the flow again. Or create multiple paths, so that if that have been in the flow in let’s say the last 30 days they get a different set of emails.

Hey @alex.hong came across your answer from a different, but similar, thread in the community that might help @GeorgeW as well.

@GeorgeW essentially the same code will show for that subscriber as long as it doesn’t expire within the timeframe they see it.

@chelsgrove has great questions to get more context.  Sounds like the strategy of this flow may need tweaking.  If it’s a Welcome Back flow, I’d be interested why people are entering it frequently.

Hi there, 

Thank you for the quick replies and the advice. I am likely describing the flow incorrectly. as when I Googled “Welcome Back” flow, it showed a resubscription flow and that is not what I meant. 

Thinking about it further, I think it is more of an extended duration Reorder Flow. Essentially, I have multiple paths setup that offer a customer who has ordered at least once a coupon of increasing value to tempt them to come back and make another order (10%, 15% and finally 20%). Currently, I have quite a few customers who wait until they get the last 20% coupon before they reorder. 

I am fine with them being this price sensitive and waiting until they receive this coupon before they reorder, and I may place them in an accelerated flow to get them to reorder sooner, but I want to make sure they are receiving unique coupons, so they can go through this process multiple times. As a bandaid, I have made it so they can use the coupons and the coupon itself can be used multiple times, but I am worried about the coupon being abused and scraped by coupon sites if I continue doing it this way.

Currently, I allow customers to reenter the same flow whenever they make a purchase, as I do want them to reorder. It sounds like I should be creating another flow once they have reordered, so I can tweak timing and generate a unique coupon, but wouldn’t I experience the same problem that they receive the same coupon as long as the coupon hasn’t expired? Should I be making the coupon expire sooner?

Hope the context helps and thank you for all the probing questions to figure out my inaccurate terminology!
