How to Send Unique Coupon Codes with Zapier (2025 Guide)

Zapier is the ultimate automation tool, connecting thousands of different web apps to create powerful, custom workflows. When you connect Coupon Carrier to Zapier, you unlock the ability to deliver unique, single-use coupon codes from virtually any app in your marketing and sales stack.

This guide will provide a complete, step-by-step walkthrough of how to connect Coupon Carrier and Zapier. We'll cover the essential setup steps in both platforms and then build a practical, real-world example: automatically sending a unique "thank you" code to a respondent after they complete a Typeform survey.


Before You Begin: The 2-Minute Setup in Coupon Carrier

Before you can build your Zap, you need two things from your Coupon Carrier account: your API Key and a "Zapier-triggered" configuration.

1. Find Your API Key

Your API key is how Zapier securely authenticates with your account. You can find it by navigating to your account dropdown menu and clicking on API Key.

2. Create a Zapier Configuration

Next, create the specific email campaign you want Zapier to trigger. Go to Configurations > Create a New Configuration and select Code Email. For the trigger, choose Zapier Trigger. Customize the email content and connect it to a code list, then save and activate it. You'll select this configuration by name later in Zapier.

Building Your First Zap: A Step-by-Step Example

For this guide, we'll build a Zap that automatically sends a unique coupon code when someone submits a form in Typeform. You can use this same logic for any of the 8,000+ apps on Zapier.

Step 1: Set Up Your Trigger App (e.g., Typeform)

In the Zapier editor, your first step is the Trigger. Search for and select your trigger app (in this case, Typeform). Choose the event that should start the workflow, such as "New Entry." Connect your account and select the specific form you want to monitor. Zapier will then test the trigger to pull in sample data.

Step 2: Choose Your Coupon Carrier Action

Now, add your second step: the Action. Search for and select Coupon Carrier. You will see a list of available actions you can perform. For this workflow, choose "Send a Code Email."

Step 3: Configure the Action Fields

This is where you connect the data from your trigger to your action. You'll see several fields:

  • Email Address: Click this field and select the data from your Typeform trigger that contains the respondent's email address.
  • Configuration: Select the name of the "Zapier Trigger" configuration you created earlier in Coupon Carrier.
  • Merge fields (Optional): You can pass additional data, like the respondent's first name, to personalize your email.

Step 4: Test Your Zap

Once your fields are mapped, Zapier will allow you to test the step. This will send a real request to Coupon Carrier and deliver a real email to the sample email address from your trigger. After a successful test, you're ready to name and publish your Zap!

Sending an email is just the beginning. You can also use other Coupon Carrier actions in Zapier to build more advanced workflows:
