Rainy day

How to use it

1. 1At the top is Automatic rainy-day email, with an On/Off switch. It is On for a PRO shop with a town. It shows how many it has sent, Last sent, and Next check.
2. 2Set your town. If your shop has none, a box at the top asks for it. Type your town and press Save town, and the forecast opens on this screen.
3. 3It is the same box as Shop details in Settings, and the shop has one town either way. Picking the place also sets the shop’s time zone.
4. 4Pick the town from the list that opens as you type. If you press Save before picking, KANJIN looks the name up and asks you to check it; it never saves a town you did not see. A town in another country asks first: switch the shop to that country (phone numbers, shop time and currency move with it) or keep your country and save the town only. From 6 November 2026 keeping your country leaves your shop time as it is, so the warning about a time zone from another country does not appear afterwards. The sentence names the country the way you would say it, for example “the United States”.
5. 5With no town there is no forecast and no days to pick. The screen says so and links to the Slow-day email, which needs no forecast.
6. 6The box is labelled Your town (for weather). It searches towns only, so a shop name or a street gets nothing back.
7. 7To start from a full address, press Find this address. Or press Use my shop address to use the Shop address under Email details. KANJIN shows the town it found and asks before saving.
8. 8If it finds nothing, it says so, and you can still type your town. The addresses come from OpenStreetMap, named under the buttons.
9. 9The top of the screen names the town the forecast is for. If the shop has a position but no town name, it says “Forecast for your shop.”
10. 10Look at the seven days. Wet days are marked, with the chance of rain.
11. 11Tap a day. The email is written for it: the weather, the day, your shop. Change any word.
12. 12The email is in your shop’s language, the one your customers read, set under Your shop in Settings. The weather word and the weekday are in that language too.
13. 13Add a discount code if you want one. Pick the delivery or booking link the email should carry.
14. 14Choose when it goes: now, the evening before at 6 pm, or that morning at 9 am. These are shop time, from the time zone in Settings. The screen names the zone.
15. 15A scheduled email shows Scheduled for its time until that time passes. After that it shows Sent, at the time it was set for.
16. 16Press Send. It goes to everyone who gave an email and said yes to offers.

What it does

• From 25 October 2026 Grow has four rows: Find local creators, Google review requests, Email your regulars, and Check-ins. Open any of them from Grow, and they open in a panel beside Today. Email your regulars opens a strip of four tabs across the top — Send an email, Win-back & birthdays, Slow & rainy days, and Results — and every one of them is the same address it always was, so a bookmark still works. On the free plan the two paid tabs carry a PRO badge.
• The automatic email, from 6 November 2026. Every morning at 9:00 shop time, KANJIN reads the forecast. When today and the next 2 days are all rainy, it emails your regulars that morning. It sends the email you saved under Edit the email it sends, or KANJIN’s wording for today until you save one.
• Under the card, Edit the email it sends holds the subject, the message, an optional discount code and the link. Write it once. The words {weather}, {shop} and {day} fill in by themselves when it goes, for example “Rain”, your shop’s name and the weekday. Change the code or the offer whenever your special changes.
• Press Save and the next rainy morning uses it. A preview shows the email as your regulars get it. Fill in both the subject and the message, or clear both: an email with only one is not saved, and it is never sent half-written. Use KANJIN’s wording clears the boxes.
• Rainy, for the automatic email, means a 70% or higher chance of rain. Where the forecast has no chance (everywhere outside the Nordic countries), it means rain, snow or a storm with at least 1 mm between 7 am and 9 pm. A drizzle day does not count.
• It sends at most once in 7 days, and never twice in one rainy spell: after it sends, a dry day has to come before it can send again. A wet fortnight is one email, or two at most.
• It goes only to customers who gave an email and said yes to offers. It goes out between 08:00 and 21:00 your time. It is PRO only.
• Sending is on from 6 November 2026. The card reads “Sent automatically on the first of 3 rainy days, at most once a week.” Before that it said Practice run: the forecast was checked every morning and nothing was sent.
• You can change the email at any time under Edit the email it sends, and the next rainy morning sends your version.
• Switch it Off on the card and it stops. Your own Send below still works.
• If the weather service is busy when you open this screen, the forecast is asked for again straight away, from 5 November 2026. Before that a forecast that failed once was kept for half an hour, so a place the service had been slow for showed no forecast until the half hour was up.
• On the free plan this screen opens greyed out with nothing to press, and at the top is an EXAMPLE, marked in yellow: a wet day two days from now and the email written for it, from a made-up shop called Sample Shop. It is not your forecast and not your shop. The day is counted from your own calendar and is always ahead of today, because a draft for a day that has passed would read as one that already went out. Under it, one line says the one thing to do when you start — type your shop’s town in the box that appears on this screen — rather than telling you there is no forecast, which read as though the example had failed. From 23 October 2026. Until 29 October 2026 that line sent you to Settings for the town, after the box had moved onto this screen.
• Your shop’s very first email goes to your 50 most recent customers, whichever screen you send it from. New shops start small so your emails keep landing in inboxes. The line under the count says so before you send, and the fifty applies to your first email only.
• A wet day is rain, snow, a storm, or a better than 60% chance of rain in the forecast. The chance of rain is only published for the Nordic countries; elsewhere the kind of weather decides.
• The forecast comes from MET Norway, the Norwegian weather service, and its name appears under the week.
• This counts as one of your two marketing emails a week, because you chose to send it. The screen shows how many are left. Under the heading, from 23 October 2026, a line says what each plan gives — the free one a month, the paid two a week — so a shop that has not paid can see what sending from this screen would cost before it decides. It was on the sales page that used to stand in for this screen; when that went, this screen took it, which is where it belonged.
• The code and the link are added at the end of the email. You decide what the code is worth at the counter.
• Your delivery and booking links are set in Settings and appear here to pick from.
• Under the message is a PREVIEW: the email exactly as a customer receives it, in the language your kiosk is set to, with your shop name, your postal address and the unsubscribe line at the bottom. It redraws as you type, so what you read there is what will arrive.
• The automatic card at the top lists EVERY reason this email cannot go out, one line each, such as a missing postal address or a missing town, each with its own Fix it that opens the box to fill in. Fix one and it leaves the list; the rest stay until they are fixed too.
• Send me a test emails that exact message to the address you sign in with, and to nobody else. A test does not go to any customer, does not count toward your weekly or monthly emails, and does not start the clock on anything. Its subject begins [Test] so you can tell it apart in your inbox. Five tests a day per shop, on the free plan as well as the paid one.
