Understand what this lesson solves
Shopify email deliverability starts with list health. Before sending, check consent source, unsubscribe path, suppression rules, complaint and bounce monitoring, and SPF/DKIM/DMARC.

Lesson outline
- 1Record the symptom and affected scope
- 2Pause high-risk sends first
- 3Check sender identity
- 4Check list source and consent evidence
- 5Check complaints, bounces, and unsubscribe signals
- 6Add fallback evidence
- 7Use the deliverability incident runbook for 24-hour actions
- 8Write the 7-day recovery gate and blocked moves
Public core framework
- Do not rewrite the subject line just because opens dropped. Name the symptom first: spam placement, rising complaints, lower opens, unsubscribe anomaly, more hard bounces, or simply a weak campaign.
- Pause all-list promos, newly imported lists, 180-day silent audiences, and sources with abnormal complaints, unsubscribes, or hard bounces. Keep transactional mail, necessary service email, and a small recently engaged sample.
