Setting up a lead magnet automation within Shopify

[FrankieP]

I am fairly new to Shopify, and am trying to figure out if I can set up a lead magnet automation using the native marketing tools. 

There doesn't seem to be much info on this out there, I found this discussion which looks helpful, but as it's a few years old I thought I would ask to see if there were updated options.

Any pointers on setting this up natively within Shopify welcome - here's what I'm trying to do:

•  Offer something of value to user for joining email list (lead magnet)
• Have a landing page for signup form
• When someone signs up via that form, they are sent a specific email with details - or redirected to a specific page on site with details
• Ideally subscriber is tagged to show they signed up via that lead magnet

Any info on which parts of this are completely impossible, and which parts might be do-able would be really appreciated.

I know I can go the route of Mailchimp / Mailerlite /ActiveCampaign / Klayvio but just trying to assess what the native tools are capable of...

Thanks!

• Offer something of value to user for joining email list (lead magnet) - (add a product)
• Have a landing page for signup form (the closest things are check out so they purchase fo $0 or contact form)
• When someone signs up via that form, they are sent a specific email with details - or redirected to a specific page on site with details ( confirmation of product purchase - however it would have less friction and faster to set up with native tools Mailchimp active campaign etc.. )
• Ideally subscriber is tagged to show they signed up via that lead magnet (custom scripts)

Thanks for that. Sounds like best option is going to be to do this outside of Shopify alright.

This problem sounds a bit difficult to solve, you can find a professional to help you solve this problem!

Thanks Jessica. Are you saying you think this can be done within Shopify native tools with the aid of a Shopify developer?

Any chance there's been any update on this for the native shopify email? 

Otherwise, I may have to go back to using a third party for email.

I’ve set up a lead magnet using the Powr form builder on Shopify. I found a great tutorial on YT by The Marketing Bully called How to create freebies which details how to set it all up. Very simple and easy to follow.
