Every time Shabbify closes or reopens your store, it sends the store owner a short email. For a weekly Shabbat closure that's two emails a week, plus Yom Tov. Some merchants like the reassurance. Others told us they'd rather trust the schedule and check the log when they want to.
Both are fine now.
Turning the emails off
Two ways:
- In the app. Settings → Email me when my store closes and reopens. Untick it and save.
- From any status email. Each one has a Stop these emails link in the footer. It opens a page with a single button; press it and the emails stop. Nothing changes until you press the button, so a mail scanner that opens links on your behalf can't switch your emails off by accident. Mail apps that support one-click unsubscribe (the list-unsubscribe standard) show their own "Unsubscribe" control, and that works too.
Turning emails off doesn't affect anything else. The store still closes and reopens on schedule.
The activity log keeps the record
Whether or not you get the emails, every automatic close and reopen is written to the activity log in the app, with the reason: Closed for Shabbat, Closed for Yom Kippur, Reopened. Manual closes and reopenings are logged separately, so you can always tell a scheduled closure from one you did by hand.
If you'd rather ask than look, Sidekick can read the same log: "What did Shabbify do this week?"
One email you'll never get
A brand-new install has no previous status, so the first time Shabbify works out whether your store is open or closed, it doesn't email you about it. The first email you get is for the first real change.
Emails are in your language
Like the rest of the app, status emails come in English, Hebrew, Spanish, French, Russian, Portuguese and German, following your Shopify admin language. The unsubscribe page is translated too.
