Temporary boost - Update

Allows you to update the configuration of an existing boost.

The data to be submitted to the API is composed of the following fields:

Notes:

• boost Types: A= Fixed (does not have an expiration date), B= Temporary (active only for a certain period of time), and C = Recurring (active only during certain days/hours)
• Campaign ID from is the Campaign ID where the boost is originated from. For example, if your boost is Get $10 in your Gift Card Account for each 1000 points that you earn, your campaign_id_from will be the ID of the Points Campaign where you are tracking the points that customers are earning.
• boost buyx from item description is applicable only if the boost_campaing_id_from is a campaign type Buy X Get 1 Free. For example: If your boost is Buy 9 Coffees Get automatically a Free Dessert, "Coffee" will be the buyx item description.
• boost amount is the threshold value that customers have to meet for the boost to get executed. Example: Get $10 in your Gift Card Account for each 1000 points boost, the boost_amount will be 1000.
• boost apply to all transactions is an option to apply the boost action to all transactions received. Example: Get $0.25 in your Gift Card Account each time you earn points.
• boost deduct from balance allows to deduct from the customer balance the threshold amount. Example: in the Get $10 in your Gift Card Account for each 1000 points boost, the 1000 points will be deducted from the customer points balance.
• boost deduct from balance repeat allows to keep deducting the threshold amount as long as there is enough balance available. Use N (No) to deduct it only once.
• boost threshold amount is the value that will be added to the customer account as a result of the boost.
• boost action type can be: "add" (to add a value to the customer account as a result of the boost) or "multiply" (to multiply the transaction amount (boost threshold) by a set number in order to determine the value that will be added to the customer account as a result of the boost).
• Include boost_action-rule only if any of the two types are applicable. A= boost_include_transaction_amount (to add the transaction amount (monetary or points) to the value that will be added to the customer account as a result of the boost) and B=boost_apply_to_points_earned (applies the action amount to the points earned in a transaction instead of the value of the monetary transaction).
• boost campaing id to is the campaign where the boost value will be added to. Example: in the Get $10 in your Gift Card Account for each 1000 points boost it will be the Gift Card Campaign.
• boost buyx to item description is used only when the boost is configured for a Buy X Get 1 Free campaign. The item description is the name of the buyx item (or items) used as rewards (result of the boost). If multiple items will be added as a result of the boost use commas to separate each item.
