Hi @rkpindustry

To set up email automation for sending weekly or monthly emails to your store subscribers, follow these steps:

1-Use Shopify Email (if applicable):

  • Go to Marketing > Create campaign.
  • Choose Recurring campaign to set up automated weekly or monthly emails.
  • Customize the email template and schedule the frequency.

2-Use a Third-Party App:

  • Install an email marketing app like Klaviyo, Omnisend, or Mailchimp from the Shopify App Store.
  • Create a campaign or flow for recurring emails.
  • Set the schedule (e.g., weekly or monthly) in the app’s automation settings.

3-Segment Subscribers:

  • Ensure your subscribers are added to a specific list or segment in your email tool.
  • This ensures targeted and automated sending.

These options enable consistent email campaigns to keep subscribers engaged.

I hope this can answer your question.

Hi @rkpindustry,

Thanks for your question! Setting up automated weekly or monthly emails to your store subscribers is a great way to stay connected and boost repeat purchases.

Here’s how you can schedule email automations on Shopify:

Using Shopify Email (Free Tool):

  1. Go to Marketing > Automations in your Shopify admin;
  2. Click Create automation, then choose a template like “Welcome” or “Newsletter”;
  3. You can customize it and set the trigger to a specific date/time or repeat on a schedule using Shopify Flow (available on certain plans);
  4. Add your content, select your subscriber list, and you’re good to go!

For More Advanced Options (like AI-personalized sends or dynamic content),
You might consider using a third-party app like:

  • Klaviyo – powerful segmentation and weekly/monthly flows;
  • Omnisend – easy visual automation builder;
  • Retentionly – AI Email Marketing – our app designed to send AI-powered emails on autopilot with flexible scheduling, weekly, monthly, post-purchase, etc.;

Hi @rkpindustry ,

Thanks for your question! Setting up automated weekly or monthly emails to your store subscribers is a great way to stay connected and boost repeat purchases.

Here’s how you can schedule email automations on Shopify:

Using Shopify Email:

Shopify Email is free up to 10,000 emails/month and integrates directly with your store. It’s a solid starting point if you’re on a budget, but it does come with limited automation and customization features.

  1. Go to Marketing > Automations in your Shopify admin;
  2. Click Create automation, then choose a template like “Welcome” or “Newsletter”;
  3. Add your content, select your subscriber list, and you’re good to go!

For More Advanced Options (like AI-personalized sends or dynamic content),
You might consider using a third-party app like:

  • Klaviyo: Offers deep segmentation and analytics, but can be overwhelming and gets expensive as your list grows
  • Omnisend: A well-rounded tool with multi-channel support, but can feel a bit heavy for simple workflows
  • Retentionly – AI Email Marketing: Built specifically for Shopify stores, Retentionly gives you the power of advanced automation without the complexity. You can launch welcome flows, recover abandoned checkouts, and send targeted post-purchase emails, all in a few clicks. Plus, you only pay for the emails you send, not your subscriber count, making it much more cost-effective as you grow.

If you’re looking for something that’s easy to set up but powerful enough to grow with you, Retentionly might be the right fit Perfect for merchants who want powerful features without the steep learning curve or inflated pricing

Honestly, I wouldn’t spend too much time setting up weekly/monthly emails. People get 100s of emails a day, and the closing rate from those has been dropping every quarter since late 2022. Go with evolvoom.io instead, it’s free and it uses AI to reach out for you and actually personalizes each message based on what your customer does and says. It programmed to act like a support rep (for higher response rates i guess), but the goal is to sell. So kinda sales rep in support rep camouflage if you know what i mean. Hope that helps
