How to Issue Personalized Mobile Wallet Passes Through Constant Contact #

Issuing personalized mobile wallet passes through Constant Contact has never been easier. This process involves using WalletThat, a platform where passes are created, designed, and personalized, then issued through Constant Contact. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to issue mobile wallet passes through Constant Contact.

WalletThat Platform Steps #

Step 1: Login to your WalletThat Account

Step 2: Create a Pass Template

Visit the Pass Templates page and create a Pass Template by choosing the Pass Type you prefer. You can use one of the pre-built templates provided. Check out the articles below for help creating each Pass Type:

Step 3: Determine How You’ll Personalize Passes

There are three options to personalize Passes. The first option is to import data into WalletThat. Importing data into WalletThat enables you to upload dynamic data in a CSV file and create a simple Pass Issuance Link with only the pass-id variable added. This option should be used when you have all of your customer data prior to issuing Passes. The second option is to use Constant Contact’s dynamic variables.By using dynamic variables in Constant Contact, you can build your issuance link by adding all of the variables you will need to personalize directly in the link. Use this option when you already have customer data stored in your Constant Contact account. Lastly, the third option is to personalize Passes by integrating third party apps with Zapier. This option is best used when you are collecting customer data through another system or app and will use that data to personalize Passes.

Option 1: Import Data into WalletThat

Create a CSV file containing dynamic fields added to the Pass Template, add a pass-id column to differentiate passes from each other using the user’s email address, and import it to the Pass Data Manager. Map all fields from the CSV file to the dynamic fields that were added in the Pass Template. For more information, refer to: Importing Pass Data

Option 2: Use Dynamic Variables in Constant Contact

Constant Contact offers a wide range of dynamic variables to replace data in emails with personalized information. You can create a Pass Issuance Link on the WalletThat platform and add dynamic variables later on in Constant Contact to personalize Passes.

Step 4: Create a Pass Issuance Link

If you imported data into WalletThat, create a Pass Issuance Link, and add the pass-id variable as a required field. If you are using dynamic variables from Constant Contact, add all necessary variables that need to be personalized to your issuance link. More information about creating Pass Issuance Links can be found in this guide: Pass Issuance Links

Step 4a: (Optional) Add Encryption to your Pass Issuance Link

Encrypt your issuance link if it contains sensitive information such as email addresses, names, or account IDs.

Step 5: Copy Your Pass Issuance Link

Save your issuance link and copy it from the Pass Issuance Link page by clicking “Get Link” below the “Link” column. Replace the {Parameter Value} braces with dynamic variables before sending.

Once you have the images, upload them to your email template by adding an image block to the email. Insert your image, click it, then click the “Link” button in the toolbox. Choose “Web Page” and paste your issuance link in the “Link URL” field and click “Insert”. Learn more about adding links to an image here: Adding Clickable Image Links
