Sending bulk transactional emails

Sending bulk transactional emails

Hi,

 

I'm looking for a way to send bulk transactional emails (address checks) to orders that are tagged in Shopify. We bulk apply these tags which have been then triggering an email via smartnotifications app to ask customers to check their addresses are correct (we have a pre-order business model). 

 

Unfortunately Smart notifications can't support us anymore due to the volume we require to be sent out. 

 

I've looked at using FlowMail and think I can get this set up for new orders but I'm not sure how to handle existing orders as you can't start a flow from the point of an order tagged, it has to be from created. 

 

Has anyone got any advice on how to achieve this? We have Klaviyo and Mailchimp however I can't seem to pull the variable order data into these emails (shipping address etc) for the specific order. 

 

Thanks!

I think your question is more about how to run a workflow based on existing tags. Two options:

1. Run the workflow manually in the Admin (you can filter by tags first): https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/shopify-flow/manage/manual
2. Use a "Scheduled time" trigger + "Get order data" to query orders that include those tags. Set a recurring schedule to keep running every 10 min. Remove the tags after you run it so it doesn't run again.
