Automation Template Fixer for Discount Code and Business Address Fields
The Opportunity
An app that scans Shopify email automation templates for broken or missing required store fields and keeps discount codes and store details dynamically synced. It would reduce paused automations caused by template validation errors after merchants update their offers.
"Merchants updating a newsletter discount code are hitting automation pauses and validation errors like missing address fields, even when store details appear enabled."

Detailed Analysis
Proposed Solution
Offer a template health checker that validates required fields before save, flags broken merge fields, and auto-inserts dynamic store name/address and discount variables into email templates.
Target Audience
Shopify merchants using Shopify Email or built-in marketing automations with discount-driven signup flows
Competitive Landscape
Shopify Email, Klaviyo template editors, Omnisend email builder, email QA/preview tools
Implementation Notes
Create a validator that inspects Shopify email automation templates for required footer/address fields, unresolved tokens, and outdated discount code references. The app should sync discount code changes from Shopify discounts, provide a pre-save warning system, and offer one-click repair for common template issues via the Email Marketing APIs and theme/store settings metadata.
