Shopify Flow is an ecommerce automation platform that enables you to automate tasks and processes within your store and across your apps.
I’m using a Shopify form popup for lead generation, where users enter their email and birthday to receive a welcome email. I would also like to send them a coupon on their birthday, but I’m unsure how to set up this automation.
I’ve noticed that the birthday is stored in a custom metafield, but I haven’t found a way to automate the email sending through Shopify Flow based on this information.
Could you provide any guidance on how to achieve this?
Thank you in advance for your help!
How many customers do you have?
It isn't possible to query on metafield values, which would make this use case a lot simpler because you could setup a daily scheduled flow to search for customers with a birthday of today and send to them.
So I think you'd have to loop over all customers every day and look for a customer with today's date as a birthday.
Hello 👋
This is very possible to do. We made a video about this use case not too far back.
