Understand what this lesson solves
Use three welcome emails as the baseline: fulfill the signup promise, explain the first purchase choice, and handle purchase doubts. A fourth message is conditional, and offers must pass PDP, margin, unsubscribe, and suppression checks first.
A Shopify email marketing and lifecycle series for teams with subscribers, orders, or paid traffic, covering welcome flows, abandonment recovery, segmentation, deliverability, repeat purchase, winback, and monthly email operating rhythm.

Public core framework
- Separate popup, footer, checkout, download, quiz, and paid landing page sources. Write what each source promised, which list it entered, whether consent timestamp exists, and what message one must fulfill.
- Check target list, form-to-list mapping, consent timestamp, profile filter, trigger filter, message status, and skipped reason. If new subscribers do not receive message one, fix the list trigger before changing the subject.
