Import Subscribers and Send Campaigns

If you already have subscribers collected from other platforms and want to send email campaigns using CWILL Pop up Email, follow the steps below. Before sending, complete Set Up Email Branding so your logo, brand colors, business details, and footer are ready. A Custom Sending Domain is optional and can be configured later.


Step 1: Import Subscribers into Shopify

CWILL Pop up Email reads subscriber data directly from Shopify, so you need to import your contacts into Shopify first.

📍Go to:

Shopify Admin → Customers → Import

Upload your CSV file.


Step 2: Important Settings During Import

When importing, please make sure:

1️⃣ Include Email Address

Your CSV must contain a valid Email column.

2️⃣ Set “Accepts Email Marketing” to TRUE

This is very important.

Only customers marked as Subscribed in Shopify can receive email campaigns in CWILL Pop up Email.

If this field is not set to TRUE, the customer will not be eligible for email marketing.


3️⃣ Add a Tag

Before clicking “Import”, check:

☑ “Add tags to customers in this CSV and use these tags to create a segment”

Enter a tag name, for example:

  • imported-subscribers

  • january-list

  • popup-old-list

This helps you easily create a segment later for campaign targeting.

👉 Tags are used for segmentation only.
They do NOT change subscription status.


Step 3: Create a Segment in Shopify

After import:

Go to:
​Shopify Admin → Customers → Segments

You can:

  • Create a new segment

  • Filter by the tag you just added

  • Save the segment with your own name (e.g. “Imported January Subscribers”)


💡 Bonus: Use Shopify AI to Build Smart Segments

Inside the segment editor, you can use Shopify’s AI assistant to Refine your segment

For example, you can type:

  • “Customers who placed an order in the last 10 days”

  • “Customers who purchased more than once”

  • “Customers tagged with imported-subscribers and ordered in the past 30 days”

Shopify AI will automatically generate the correct filter and show the matching customer list.

This makes advanced targeting much easier.


Step 4: Send Campaign via CWILL Pop up Email

Now go to:

CWILL Pop up Email → Campaigns → Create Campaign

When selecting recipients:

Choose the Shopify segment you just created.

Because these customers are:

  • Marked as Subscribed

  • Properly segmented

They are now eligible to receive your email campaign 🎉

✅ Import subscribers into Shopify
