Separate Email List

Technical Q&A
1

Hi,

I want to know which email signups are interested in which product. So like a waiting list - the perfect solution would be to have a drop down menu on the email signup box so I can filter out customers.

It’s for a product that doesn’t exist yet so I don’t want to add it to the main product page.

TIA

Did you try setting up a Flow for this? I think that might work!

Shopify Forms app allows you to create a new form you can use on your store to collect newsletter subscriptions.
You’d be able to add inputs (including drop-downs) to the Forms form.

Then hide the theme built-int newsletter subscription form.

For each submitted form Forms create a metaobject in your store and Flow has a trigger “Metaobject added” which you can use to process the form submission and assign tag or metafield on the customer.

Hi Tim,

Thank you - drop down options looks like it’s going to be the best/easiest option.

I’ve managed to segment customers who signed up using the form, but I can’t seem to add the dropdown tags, which is actually how I want to filter out.

The AI feature has helped loads but it can’t seem to get anything to work in Flow (if Flow is actually needed).

Any help?

Thanks!

Hard to recommend anything without knowing details, but generally:

  1. Forms create metaobjects in your store for each submission.
  2. This can trigger flow which will parse the data submitted and tag submitting customers accordingly.

Yes, Forms may tag customers itself, but this does not account for the data submitted, just marks the fact of submission. That’s where you need Flow – to process data.
