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.
đGo to:
Shopify Admin â Customers â Import
Upload your CSV file.
Step 2: Important Settings During Import
When importing, please make sure:
1ď¸âŁ Include Email Address
Your CSV must contain a valid Email column.
2ď¸âŁ Set âAccepts Email Marketingâ 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.
3ď¸âŁ Add a Tag
Before clicking âImportâ, check:
â âAdd tags to customers in this CSV and use these tags to create a segmentâ
Enter a tag name, for example:
imported-subscribers
january-list
popup-old-list
This helps you easily create a segment later for campaign targeting.
đ Tags are used for segmentation only.
They do NOT change subscription status.
Step 3: Create a Segment in Shopify
After import:
Go to:
âShopify Admin â Customers â Segments
You can:
Create a new segment
Filter by the tag you just added
Save the segment with your own name (e.g. âImported January Subscribersâ)
đĄ Bonus: Use Shopify AI to Build Smart Segments
Inside the segment editor, you can use Shopifyâs AI assistant to Refine your segment
For example, you can type:
âCustomers who placed an order in the last 10 daysâ
âCustomers who purchased more than onceâ
âCustomers tagged with imported-subscribers and ordered in the past 30 daysâ
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 â Campaigns â 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 đ
Summary
To successfully send campaigns in CWILL Pop up Email:
â Import subscribers into Shopify
â Make sure the status is "Subscribed"
