How to automate sending new blog posts to email subscribers?

[atFranCruz]

Hello guys,

I'm looking for a way to automatically send new blog posts to the store's subscribers.

Been looking for apps to do this without Zapier, but no luck.

Also no email client in the Shopify app store seems to have this functionality of accepting the RSS/.Atom feed to generate emails.

I know MailChimp does accept the RSS feed, but I'm unsure how well it's currently working with Shopify, and would love to know if there's a simpler solution.

Thanks!

Hi @atFranCruz!

Have you tried using Parabola?

You can pull in RSS feeds and compare dates to ensure it's new as of today. Additionally, you can pull in your list of Shopify customers, limit your list to only customers who accept marketing, join the list with your RSS feed pull, and send off with a variety of platforms (like Sendgrid, or natively in Parabola).

Let me know if you have any questions!

Hey @jpbertram  thanks for letting me know!

I talked with the Parabola team and it won't work for us, but I appreciate your help!

Kind regards.

100%!! This should be a simple and big value-add for Shopify to add.

Hi! 

Has anyone found a way of automatically emailing blog posts to subscribers, please?

[LRocha]

No. I don’t think there’s such an option. What I have been doing is using a blank Shopify template and adding clickable buttons and then sending the email to my mailing list.

Hey LRocha! Wow, that's actually a really great idea. Would you mind sharing the automation? 

[farmersteph]

Yes, please share. I'm new to Shopify and would love to know how to do this.

I'm also intrested in such solution. In my opinion it should be integrated within core of Shopify.

We're also looking for the same feature. I'm pretty shocked Shopify offers the subscriber signup, but not an email automation for those subscribers to receive notifications. Has anyone else figured out a solution yet? Thanks.

I agree with what good is to have blogs if you can not send excerpts of your posts to your subscribers. Shopify really needs to step up here and do something. PLEAASE can someone offer a solution?!  🙂

I have found the Mailer Lite app. If you subscribe to their $10 per month plan you can pull your blogs RSS feed and it will send it to your subscribers. Hope that helps 🙂
