Welcome Message with Shopify Email

[steveisaacs]

I love the idea of using the new Shopify Email app and have imported my Mailchimp audience into my customer list, but the one big deal breaker for me is no automation. The ability to send a welcome mail with a discount as soon as a user signs up to my newsletter is vital. There's not much info on the app online yet, but it seems like this feature isn't available.

Am I missing something?

This is my problem also! Would love to streamline everything within Shopify but not being able to send a welcome email (or have a pop up to subscribe to our email) is really annoying. Does Shopify plan to add this functionality at some point?

I'd love an answer to this as well.  Would like to have all email activity driven from a single app.
