How can I create custom error messages?
In this section:
You can define custom error messages per validation rule which are going to be returned via API when code validation or redemption fails due to the request not meeting validation rule criteria.
Custom error messages are by default visible only in the API response to the given request. Just like in the case of other Voucherify objects, you are free to decide how you would like to display them to your audience.
Creating custom errors via Dashboard
You may create your custom error messaging in the Validation Rules section or while creating a campaign.
If you are not yet familiar with the concept of validation rules, visit this article to get started.
First, you may establish a default fallback error message applicable to all validation rule errors that have not been defined separately.
Next, you can add a unique error message for each validation rule.
For instance, you may create a campaign only for customers who have been with your company for a year. If customers outside of the "1-year anniversary" customer segment attempted at redeeming such voucher, Voucherify would block the attempt and would return a custom error message (e.g., "You do not meet segment criteria" or " You are not a "1-year anniversary" customer").
Creating custom errors via API
You can also create custom error messages programmatically. Go here to learn more details.
The content of the custom error message is going to be returned in the error object under message property.
If you don't specify any error message for a Validation Rule then the error property will not be included in the API response.
Here is an exemplary API response containing the custom error message:
