What is the Coupon Code Redeemed Workflow Trigger
The Coupon Code Redeemed trigger fires when a coupon code is successfully redeemed in a completed transaction. Unlike the Coupon Code Applied trigger, which fires anytime a coupon is applied (regardless of whether transaction is completed or not), this trigger activates only when the order is finalized and payment is complete.
It’s an essential tool for marketing and sales teams who want to track actual coupon redemptions and take immediate, post-sale actions such as sending thank-you notes, tagging high-value customers, or triggering loyalty rewards.

- Team Coordination: Alert fulfillment, sales, or support teams in real time so high‑discount or limited‑edition orders get priority handling
