Release Date: 9th May 2025
🆕 What’s New
We’ve launched two new features for Instant AI customers:
✉️ Instant Popups
Merchants can now enable a fully branded sign up form (pop-up) directly from their Dashboard → Pop ups section. When turned on, Instant will automatically generate and publish a form on their Shopify storefront.
This is ideal for stores that don’t currently use any form, helping them start capturing subscribers immediately without needing to configure anything manually.
- Displays Fixed Text Currently
- Displays Merchant Logo
This feature lays the foundation for future enhancements:
- AI-generated sign up form content
- Predictive Opt-In enabled by default
- Smart targeting and personalisation
Note: This feature is currently in the process of being rebranded from Pop-Ups —> Sign up forms. Future content will be altered to reflect this new brand when in available
🙌 Welcome Flows
If the Instant Sign Up Form is enabled, Instant AI will now automatically send a 1-email welcome flow to new subscribers.
Key features:
- AI-generated welcome message in the store’s tone of voice
- Includes store promotions like free shipping if detected
- Adds the site-wide coupon if configured in Instant (e.g. 10% off)
- Showcases the top 5 best sellers (auto-pulled from store)
This unlocks the full lifecycle flow from site visit → sign up → welcome email — allowing us to soon layer in Predictive Opt-In, smarter welcome sequences, and dynamic incentives.
🚧 Limitations
- No support yet for welcome-specific coupons
- Only one welcome email is sent immediately (MVP)
- Form copy is currently fixed, not yet AI generated
- Only triggers from an Instant Sign Up Form (not 3rd party forms)
