Does publishing an email send it to customers?

In the appEmails and messagesUpdated 2 Nov 2026

Short answer

No. Publish makes the email design available for future sends; it doesn't send a message by itself.

Save the draft, preview it, and publish when ready.

Customer sends still depend on a staff action or an automatic trigger. Previously scheduled emails retain the version chosen when they were scheduled.

Why did a new stock variant get a cost when publishing is off?

A new stocked variant starts with its PO unit cost even when ongoing Shopify cost publishing is off. Later updates follow Keep Cost per item updated for stocked products and publish only final costs. The initial value and the continuing publishing setting serve different stages of stock creation.
