# How to welcome new subscribers with a discount code using MailerLite

In this article, we will guide you on how to create a welcome campaign in MailerLite.

Firstly, navigate to your **Shopify dashboard** > **Apps** > **Personal Discount**. Next, click the **Add automation** button, select **MailerLite** as your email service provider, and **Welcome new subscribers** as a campaign type.

Then set up your automation details. For more information, take a look at the article on [how to configure discount](/personal-discount-for-shopify/configure-discount.md).

Save your automation and copy the code snippet to the clipboard.

Now add the action that will be performed when a subscriber joins the group. In this case, it will be to send an email.&#x20;

Let's prepare our email template. We can use the drag and drop editor for this.

Now design your message template. Add the code snippet from Personal Discount to your automation. Drag and drop a **text** element to your message project. Next, **edit** this one. Switch over to the **HTML view**. Delete the existing code snippet and paste the one from Personal Discount. In the end, **Save** changes. When your template is ready, hit **Done editing**.
