Topic summary
The discussion centers on automating discount code emails for new newsletter subscribers in Shopify.
Main Solutions Presented:
- Shopify Email: Manually send periodic campaigns to new subscribers, though not fully automatic upon subscription
- Third-party apps: Recommended for true automation with customizable welcome emails (most incur monthly fees)
- Shopify Workflows: A template exists specifically for sending automatic welcome emails with discount codes when someone subscribes
- Double opt-in: Can be enabled in Notifications settings to automatically verify subscribers without manual intervention
Key Challenges Addressed:
- Generating unique discount codes per subscriber (requires third-party apps like CouponLoop, Privy, or Mailchimp)
- Targeting only new subscribers who haven’t received the welcome email
- Customizing the thank you page message after subscription confirmation (accessible via theme’s language editor)
- Adding discount codes to automated emails without minimum purchase requirements
Current Status: Multiple viable solutions exist depending on budget and technical requirements. The Shopify Workflows app appears to offer the most straightforward native solution for basic automation.
