**✔** When someone subscribes to your newsletter, they’ll receive an email confirmation that includes your discount code — ideal if you prefer to send the code directly to their inbox.

## Method 3: Send the discount automatically with a third-party email app

If you use or plan to use an email marketing platform for automation and segmentation, this is the most flexible option.

You can use tools like **Klaviyo**, **Omnisend**, or **Mailchimp** to create automated email flows.

<Hint type="success">

**Steps:**

1. Install and connect your preferred email app to Shopify.
2. Create an **automation flow** triggered by “New newsletter signup.”
3. Design your welcome email and include the discount code (e.g. *“Thanks for subscribing! Use code **WELCOME10** for 10% off your first order.”*).
4. Set your preferred send timing and activate the flow.

</Hint>

✔ Every new subscriber automatically receives a personalized welcome email with your discount code. This option gives you more control over branding, tracking, and follow-up marketing.

**Best practices:**&#x20;

* Back up your theme before editing content or email templates.
* Use time-limited or single-use codes to prevent sharing.
* Keep all messages on-brand and consistent in tone.
* Test each flow (subscription → message/email → code use) before publishing.
