## The prompt

```text
I want to run a sale from Friday 6pm to Sunday midnight this weekend. Suggest 3 coupon ideas for a [percent]% off sale, with a code and a short customer description for each. When I pick one, create it as a percentage coupon that cannot be combined with other coupons. Schedule it to start and end at those times, and turn on the coupon URL so customers can click a link to apply it. Show me the full setup before you create anything, and wait for my OK. Then give me the link and the description.
```
