Notes:

  • The ability to update rewards is based on the permissions of the user_id that is making the call.
  • Only one reward can be updated at a time. Loop this call in your program to update multiple rewards at the same time.
  • This call applies only to Points and Event-Based campaigns.
  • The new_reward_level is an amount that is depedent on the campaign type. For example:
    • For Points-based campaigns: 1000 points = Free Widget
    • For Event-based campaigns: 15 events = Free Widget
  • The new_reward_identifier is an optional field that lets you specify a reward id such as a SKU, used mostly for 3rd party fullfilment integrations. Please note that when identifying the reward to the API, you MUST use the <id> that is returned in the XML construct, NOT the <reward_id> which corresponds to this optional new_reward_identifier field.
