Hi there! Unfortunately, bulk generation of discount codes isn’t supported. You can use Flow for sending the codes via emails if they follow a specific format on specific trigger action (new order, customer birthday etc).

Can you explain how to ‘use Flow for sending the codes via emails’ per each ‘new order’?
