I use Omnisend for every Shopify store I manage, and for Shopify1Percent too. It combines campaigns, automations, segmentation, SMS, reporting, and AI that can work from your actual account data.
What is Omnisend?
Omnisend is an ecommerce marketing platform for email, SMS, web push, automations, segmentation, forms and reporting. Omnisend says more than 150,000 brands use the platform and reports a 4.8/5 Shopify rating. Its MCP connection lets merchants use ChatGPT or Claude to analyze account data, manage segments and prepare campaigns in plain language.
What are the best Omnisend AI prompts to run first?
Run these in order. The first explains the account. The second finds the automation leaks. The third turns one of those findings into an audience and campaign you can actually use.
What is actually going on in here?
Start wide. This gives you the shape of the account before you chase one metric or assume last week's campaign was good.
Where is the automation money leaking?
This goes flow by flow, then looks for the workflows that are missing completely. It is usually where the fastest opportunities surface.
Can you build it, not just tell me about it?
This is the useful leap. It asks for the audience first, creates a decision point, and only then drafts the campaign using evidence from your own sends.
How do I use Omnisend with AI in practice?
I use Omnisend for Shopify1Percent and the Shopify stores I manage. I treat AI as an analyst and builder, not an autopilot.
Start with the account, not a blank prompt
Run a 90-day audit and ask the model to show the evidence behind every recommendation, including the campaigns, flows and metrics it used.
Inspect the audience before creating it
Check the segment size, rules and exclusions first. A technically correct segment can still be too small, too broad or wrong for the campaign.
Let AI prepare the work, not publish it
Ask it to draft the segment or campaign, then manually review the audience, links, offer, exclusions and timing before anything goes live.
What can Omnisend AI do with ChatGPT and Claude?
The useful part is giving AI permission to read the real account, explain the patterns in plain English, and then prepare the next action without exporting everything into another tool.
Understand the account without hunting through reports
Ask about revenue, engagement, list growth, or one specific workflow. The answer is based on your account rather than a generic ecommerce benchmark.
- Compare campaigns with automations
- Find changes against your own history
- Rank opportunities by likely impact
Build the audience before writing the campaign
Describe the customers you want in plain language, inspect the segment size and rules, then decide whether it is worth creating.
- Use purchase and engagement behaviour
- Check the logic before saving
- Keep a human approval step
Turn the finding into work you can review
Once the opportunity is clear, ask it to prepare the segment or campaign. You still review the audience, copy, offer, and timing before anything goes live.
- Draft from patterns in your own sends
- Explain why it made each choice
- Approve before publishing
What features does Omnisend include?
The value is not one feature. It is having the customer data, channels, automation, and reporting working together.
Email campaigns
Build branded campaigns with product blocks, dynamic discounts, testing, and conversion tracking.
SMS and web push
Add time-sensitive channels to the same customer journey without running a separate system.
Revenue automations
Trigger messages from real behaviour, purchase history, checkout activity, and lifecycle stage.
Dynamic segmentation
Target people by what they bought, viewed, ignored, or are statistically likely to do next.
Forms and list growth
Capture email and SMS consent with popups, landing pages, and multi-step signup experiences.
Reporting and AI insights
See what is producing revenue, then use AI to investigate problems and prepare the next action.
How does Omnisend migration work?
Give the migration team access to your current platform. They can rebuild the core pieces by hand, including automations, segments, forms, and templates. You review the new account when it is ready.

Why does Jay Myers recommend Omnisend?
I have been operating in ecommerce since 1998 and building on Shopify since its earliest years. I have used nearly every serious email platform along the way.
What I like about Omnisend is that it does not make you choose between a capable platform and sensible economics. It covers the campaigns, automations, segmentation, and channels a Shopify merchant expects. The ChatGPT and Claude connection gives it a genuinely different direction.
I use it for Shopify1Percent. That is why I am comfortable recommending that you try it.
