Weather-triggered campaigns for Shopify

Weather drives buying decisions.
Your business is not triggering on it.

Sunscreen sells in heatwaves. Antihistamines sell in pollen season. Jackets sell before the cold front comes. Weather_Cop catches these moments automatically and sends a trigger event to your email / SMS platform of choice. Built by the team behind automated campaigns triggered by weather events at major e-commerce retailers in the EU, UK and the US.

20 minutes. Free. We’ll show you which products in your catalog convert on weather triggers.

Triggers

Seven signals, refreshed hourly from each customer’s local forecast.

  • Temperature

  • Rain probability

  • Snow probability

  • UV Index

  • Pollen

  • Wind speed

  • Humidity

The Problem

Weather is the most reliable predictor of intent you’re ignoring.

For entire product categories — outdoor gear, allergy relief, sun care, beverages, garden, beauty — weather is the single most reliable predictor of intent. A heatwave sells sunscreen. A pollen spike sells antihistamines. A cold front sells jackets.

Enterprise brands have known this for years. They run weather triggers through Bloomreach, Salesforce, Adobe. They see double-digit lifts in revenue per send.

Every other Shopify brand is leaving that revenue on the table — not because the strategy is unproven, but because the tooling has never been within reach.

Weather_Cop changes that.

Proof

Three categories. Three campaigns. Three revenue lifts.

We built these weather-triggered programs at enterprise scale. Weather_Cop is the same playbook, packaged for every Shopify brand.

What We Learned

Customers buy weather protection before they need it, not during. The 3-day forward forecast outperformed same-day triggers by a meaningful margin.

What We Learned

Localizing the city name (e.g. 'High UV in Henrico') and the actual forecast numbers in the subject line drove the biggest engagement lift we've ever seen on this customer base.

What We Learned

Pollen is the most under-utilized trigger in the entire weather stack. Demand is hyper-local, hyper-time-sensitive, and customers are grateful to be reminded.

Built by datacop.

Weather_Cop is a product from datacop — a martech consultancy with 10+ years building weather-triggered marketing programs for enterprise retailers. We've shipped these campaigns on Bloomreach, Adobe, and Salesforce for some of the most recognizable brands in outdoor, pharmacy, and DTC.

Weather_Cop is the version we wish existed for the other 99% of Shopify.

Five steps from install to first send.

No data engineering. No martech consultants. Built natively for Shopify.

  1. 01

    Install the app

    We sync your customer list, their locations (ZIP, city), and your consent settings from Shopify. Klaviyo, Postscript, and native Shopify Email all supported out of the box.

  2. 02

    Calibrate your triggers

    Tell us what weather matters for your catalog. Heatwaves, frost, rain forecasts, pollen, UV — pick the triggers that move your products. Most brands launch with 2 to 4.

  3. 03

    Match products to weather

    We scan your catalog and recommend which SKUs to feature for each trigger. You approve. (Or override — your call.)

  4. 04

    Choose and adapt a creative

    Pick from our library of weather-trigger email and SMS templates — built from the campaigns that already work at enterprise scale. Drop in your brand, your products, your voice. No designer required.

  5. 05

    Send automatically

    Weather_Cop watches the forecast 24/7. When conditions match in a customer's location, it fires the campaign through your existing email and SMS tools. You see results in your normal reporting.
