Actions and Searches

An action is an event a Zap performs after it is triggered. Actions allow you to create, update or find WooCommerce data from a Zap.

Every Resource supports three basic actions (and searches) in the Zapier interface:

• Create: for creating a new Resource in WooCommerce.
• Update: for updating an existing Resource in WooCommerce.
• Find: for searching for an existing Resource in WooCommerce.

Create Coupon¶

Here are some tips when using the Create Coupon action to create new WooCommerce Coupons via Zaps.

A common use case of this action 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:

Alphanumeric (Simple) Coupon Codes¶

When creating Coupons, it’s usually best to use simple 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:

Searches let you find existing WooCommerce Zapier in a Zap, and then use it later in a subsequent step.
