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!
