How to include coupon code in newsletter/subscription email in Magento?

Question

I have created a shopping cart rule 'fixed amount discount for whole cart' and I want to include the coupon code in the subscription/newsletter email to the customer. Any suggestions?

I could find the option to create transactional email template and add sing custom variables. But how do I add coupon code in that?

Answer 1

Go to \\app\\code\\core\\Mage\\Newsletter\\controllers\\SubscriberController.php .

public function newAction()

edit the email action and generate a new coupon code programmatic by using this link

It not the easiest method but it should work.
