Shopify trigger nodes let you start flows in SleekFlow whenever customer or order data changes in Shopify. You can also use looping triggers to bulk process existing records, such as orders or abandoned carts.

In this article, we’ll guide you through each available Shopify trigger, common use cases, and how to configure them in Flow Builder.
 

Shopify order created

The Shopify order created trigger activates when a new order is placed in Shopify. It ensures that every new order captured in your store can immediately trigger workflows in SleekFlow, helping you automate confirmations, internal notifications, and CRM updates.

Common use cases include:

• Send order confirmation messages: When a new order is created in Shopify, send an automated WhatsApp or SMS message to confirm the purchase.
• Internal team notifications: Alert sales or operations teams when high-value orders are placed so they can prioritize fulfillment.
• Create or update CRM records: Automatically sync order details into SleekFlow custom objects or external CRMs to maintain a single source of truth.

Set up the Shopify order created trigger node form by following the steps below:
