You can create a “customer segment “ in Shopify which allows you to email a group of people.
This is useful if you want to email customers who purchased a subscription product.
NOTE: You must have set up Customer tagging in Ongoing already for this to work. . Click here to learn how to add customer tagging in Ongoing.
In this example, this is the customer tagging I've set up inside Ongoing which means anyone who purchases a product associated with that subscription group will get tagged with this.
How to Create Customer Segment in Shopify
From Shopify ➡️ click Customers
2. Click Filters
3. Select Customer tags
4. Select "contains this exact tag"
5. Select the customer tag (please keep in mind yours will be different😉)
This is just an example, please do not use this customer tag unless it's what you use.
You can see if you have customer tagging set up by going to:
Ongoing --> Subscription Groups --> Settings --> Customer Tagging
6. Click Apply Filter
7. Click Save Segment
8. Name the customer segment so that you can use this again in the future.
PRO TIP: To access it, just click on the Customer Segment: dropdown bar & select it.
To export the email list, you can just click on More Actions --> Export
