Ability to sync Shopify customers with email marketing
divinelightcodes
I would like a feature where my Shopify database of customers and my email subscribers on Beacons can be synced. So for example, if I make a sale on Shopify they get added to my automatic email funnel in Beacons. If I get a new customer or subscriber in Beacons, they get added to my customer database in Shopify.
Especially once I start importing my Shopify products into my Beacons store. I have not yet done this, but I will soon!
Thanks,
Cheri

It would be great to integrate beacons email marketing with Shopify or other sites

Thank you for posting, Sumayyah ABDUL! I have a few more questions for you:
- Could you please specify the features you would like to see in the integration between Beacons email marketing and Shopify?
- What specific tasks are you hoping to accomplish with this integration?
- Are there any specific Shopify functionalities you would like to see integrated with Beacons email marketing?

Hello divinelightcodes! I have a few more questions for you:
- Could you please specify the data fields you would like to be synced between Shopify and Beacons?
- Would you like this syncing to be a real-time process or would you prefer scheduled syncs?
- Are there any specific actions you would like to trigger in Beacons when a new sale is made on Shopify or vice versa?

Jacob Choi-Durham HI, GREAT QUESTIONS!
- first name, last name, email, and maybe one custom field (depends on how Shopify has it. I am new to Shopify and unfamiliar.) The ability to tag or label them or add them to a group is good. Like, I could add a group called "Shopify Customers".
- Real-time syncing so that they would go through my "new subscriber" funnel right away. I assume Shopify has these email funnels too but I have not explored those yet, nor do I want double work and to have to manage lists in both places, in terms of my welcome wagon funnel.
I am in the process of migrating from ECWID and Mailchimp to Shopify and Beacons. I can tell you how I used to work it out in my old system if you want more info we can schedule a Zoom. (I've helped on the BETA team).
- I would like them to be added to my email automation for my new subscribers. I'm sure they will get purchase confirmation emails from Shopify. But the email automation in beacons basically tells them welcome to my list and here are my SERVICE offerings. I sell both services and products.
Since I have not yet added my Shopify products to Beacons, I don't know where the sale takes place. Does it pop them back over to Shopify to make the sale over there? Or does it happen in the Beacons store?

Jacob Choi-Durham Hi Jacob, Just checking to see if there has been any progress on this feature request. I am now much more familiar with Shopify's email app and have created automatons there.
Could Zapier be a solution?
