How can I arrange or delete newsletters in Shopify?

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

A user is trying to delete a newly created newsletter and move it into a weekly newsletter folder within Shopify’s Marketing section.

Current Limitations:

  • Shopify’s native Marketing/Campaigns section does not support folder organization or manual reordering of campaigns
  • Campaigns are automatically listed chronologically by creation or send date
  • Only draft or scheduled campaigns can be deleted; sent campaigns are archived permanently

How to Delete:

  1. Navigate to Marketing in Shopify Admin
  2. Locate the campaign
  3. Click the three dots (⋯) menu
  4. Select “Delete” from the dropdown

Workarounds for Organization:

  • Use naming conventions with prefixes (e.g., “Weekly – 2024-03-21” or “Promo – Spring Sale”)
  • Utilize the search bar to filter campaigns by name
  • Track campaigns externally via spreadsheet

Alternative Solutions:
For users needing advanced organization features like folders, tags, or filtering, third-party email platforms (Klaviyo, Omnisend, Mailchimp) offer more robust campaign management tools through Shopify integration.

Hi, there!

You should be able to delete a campaign or automation through that drop down menu following the selection of the “…”. I can see you accessed the menu in the bottom of your screenshot. Can you delete from there?

Also, please tell me more about the folder you wish to utilize. Shopify Marketing and Email currently does not have folders for organizing campaigns and automations. They are all stored according to release date.

Looking forward to your response.

Cheers!

Hi Winanno! Here’s how you can do it:

How to Arrange or Delete Newsletters in Shopify

As of now, Shopify’s native Marketing > Campaigns section doesn’t support folders or manual reordering of campaigns. It also doesn’t have drag-and-drop or folder organization like you’d see in an email platform such as Klaviyo or Mailchimp. But here’s what you can do:

1. Deleting a Newsletter (Marketing Activity)

To delete a draft campaign:

  1. Go to Marketing in your Shopify Admin.

  2. Find the campaign (newsletter) you want to delete.

  3. Click the three dots (⋯) on the right side of the row.

  4. Select Delete from the dropdown menu.

Note: You can only delete draft or scheduled campaigns. Sent ones are archived and can’t be deleted.

2. Rearranging or Moving Newsletters to Folders

Unfortunately, Shopify doesn’t support folder structures or manual rearranging of marketing activities yet. All campaigns are listed chronologically (by creation or send date).

Workarounds:

  • Naming Conventions: Use a prefix like Weekly – 2024-03-21 or Promo – Spring Sale to keep things visually grouped and easier to search.

  • Search Bar: Use the search bar in the Marketing tab to find specific campaigns by name.

  • Tags or External Tracking: If you’re sending newsletters regularly, you might consider tracking themes/dates in a spreadsheet or organizing content calendars separately.

Alternative Option (if you outgrow Shopify Email)

If you need more flexibility — like folders, tagging, campaign filtering, or automation branching — an external tool like Klaviyo, Omnisend, or Mailchimp might help. These offer better email organization tools but require integration.
