Purpose

The purpose of this campaign is to send out coupons every Sunday night to customers who have ordered in the past week.

Step Layout

These are the steps laid out for you. The logic steps are detailed below.



IsSundayNight? Logic

This logic step does a simple check to see if the current time is between 6 PM and Midnight on a Sunday night.

#if( $dateManager.isCurrentTimeBetween("Sun", "18:00", "Sun", "23:59"))
   #set( $result = 'OrderedInLast8Days?' )
#else
   #set( $result = 'Pause1Hour' )
#end

OrderedInLast8Days?

$logger.log($customer.orders.size())
#set( $hasOrdered = false )

#set( $sevenDaysAgo = $dateManager.currentTime())
$sevenDaysAgo.add("day", -7)
$logger.log($sevenDaysAgo.format("MM/dd/yyyy"))

#foreach( $order in $customer.orders )
   $logger.log($order.orderId)
   $logger.log($order.paymentDate.time)

   #if($order.paymentDate.time > $sevenDaysAgo.timeInMillis)
      $logger.log('order was within 8 days')
      #set( $hasOrdered = true )
   #else
      $logger.log('order was NOT within 8 days')
   #end
#end

#if($hasOrdered)
   #set( $result = 'DidOrder' )
#else
   #set( $result = 'DidNotOrder' )
#end




Discussion
  • Line 1: A log statement to see if this customer has placed any orders. A good thing to know, yes?
  • Line 2: create a flag variable and set it to false.
  • Line 4: I need a variable to check the payment dates against. So initialize a date variable. At first, it points to 'now'.
  • Line 5: move the date variable back 7 days
  • Line 14: If the payment date was within the last seven days, set the flag variable to true. (Could probably break out of the for-loop here...)
  • Line 20: If they have ordered, direct them to the 'DidOrder' step, otherwise, send them to the 'DidNotOrder' step.
#if($customer.hasPurchasedInLastDays(8))
   #set( $result = 'DidOrder' )
#else
   #set( $result = 'DidNotOrder' )
#end


The code block above makes liberal use of the $logger.log() function. This will print out any velocity object. This is an invaluable tool for developing logic blocks. It won't hurt to keep it in place for production runs.

Goto Logic Blocks

#set( $result = '_GOTO_:IsItSundayNight?' )


The goto blocks are nothing more than a simple GOTO directive back tot he IsItSundayNight? logic step.
