Discount voucher url issue

[lily10]

Hi

I'm setting up a discount code which I want to send out as a link to customers so that the discount is automatically applied when they click on it and come to the site.

I understand how to set all this up but the url that is currently generated via the 'copy url to clipboard' button would bring the customer to the index page on the site.

Is there anyway to change this so that it brings them to the relevant section where the discount applies? I just can't see how to change this.

Many thanks for any help.

I manually change the url to the url of the desired page, this only seems to work for targets within the 'catalog' folder though (on my site I've changed the folder name to 'fashion'), this means that I can't target the homepage for some reason.

Basically just change the instance of 'index'(immediately following the '=' and BEFORE '%2ehtml' to the desired page url (do not include the period and 'html' extension)

Example

Hope this helps
