- **Button Text**: Define the button label.

## Use cases

- **Event attendance** -- Share a code during a Twitter Space, Discord voice chat, or AMA and reward attendees who enter it
- **Newsletter rewards** -- Include a hidden code in your email newsletter to reward engaged readers
- **Partner activations** -- Distribute codes through partners or influencers to track which channels drive engagement
- **Scavenger hunts** -- Hide codes across your website, social channels, or community for gamified discovery

## Code types

You can configure three types of promo codes:

| Type | Description |
|------|-------------|
| **Single code** | One shared code that all users enter (e.g., `SNAG2024`) |
| **CSV upload** | Upload a CSV of unique codes -- each user gets a different code |
| **Auto-generate** | Snag generates a set of unique codes for distribution |

<Info>
  With unique codes (CSV or auto-generated), each code can only be redeemed once. This prevents sharing and ensures each reward goes to a unique user.
