How to Create an AI 1-to-1 Plan
AI 1-to-1 Delivery plans are created from a business objective and a Coupons Bank. Loyal Guru validates the coupons, generates the campaign structure, calculates forecast, and lets the operator approve the generated campaigns before execution.
Use Casesβ
| Use Case |
|---|
| -> Create a plan that combines up-selling and cross-selling campaigns from one Coupons Bank. |
| -> Generate campaigns automatically for many product/category coupons without manually building each Audience. |
| -> Review forecast and approve only the generated campaigns that fit the business objective and budget. |
How It Worksβ
- Create the AI Plan and define the plan-level fields.
- Select the business objectives that should be generated.
- Load and validate the Coupons Bank.
- Configure objective-specific inputs such as up-selling period and cross-selling recency periods.
- Generate campaigns and forecast.
- Approve, reject, execute, or schedule the generated campaigns.
Configurationβ
Go to Campaign Personalization -> AI 1-to-1 Delivery.
| Step | What to do | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Create the AI Plan | Start a new AI 1-to-1 plan and define the plan description: name, availability, printing range, non-printable coupons, and optional ROI calculation schedule | Sets the operational window and reporting cadence for the generated campaigns |
| 2. Select business objectives | Choose Up-selling, Cross-selling, or both | Determines which AI models and distribution logic will be used |
| 3. Load the Coupons Bank | Paste coupon/discount IDs or import a CSV whose first column contains the IDs | Gives the AI the promotion inventory it can distribute |
| 4. Add a restricted Audience, if needed | Optionally limit the whole plan to one existing Audience | Keeps AI allocation inside an approved population, region, segment, or partner scope |
| 5. Configure objective inputs | Set the up-selling purchase period and/or cross-selling recency periods | Defines the behavioral window used by the models |
| 6. Review Advanced configuration | Optionally override up-selling percentile splits or cross-selling Customer selection threshold | Lets the team adjust company defaults for this specific plan |
| 7. Validate the Coupons Bank | Click Validate discounts bank and review blocking issues or warnings | Prevents generation with unusable coupons, missing affectation, duplicates, or unsupported coupon scope |
| 8. Generate campaigns | Click Save and continue after validation passes | Loyal Guru creates AI campaigns, audiences, coupon assignments, and forecast |
| 9. Review Forecast and approve | Review generated campaigns, cost, incremental sales, ROI, and approval status | Only approved campaigns are included in execution |
| 10. Execute or schedule | Launch immediately or schedule the approved plan | Sends the generated coupon assignments to Customers |
note
The operator still reviews and approves the generated campaigns before execution. AI 1-to-1 Delivery automates campaign generation and allocation, but it does not remove the approval step.
Before You Startβ
Before creating an AI 1-to-1 Plan, make sure:
- The company has Intelligent Delivery and AI Plans enabled.
- The Coupons Bank contains valid coupon/discount IDs.
- Coupons are active, not archived, and have product or category affectation.
- Company-level AI Plan defaults are configured for up-selling percentiles and cross-selling threshold.
- The data required by PBS and cross-selling models is available for the company.
- If the plan should be limited, the restricted Audience already exists.
