Shopify Order Notifications
The moment a Shopify order is placed, your team gets a Slack message with the order number, total, customer and items, and the order is added to a Google Sheet. Shopify's webhook signature is verified, so only real orders get through, and an order that arrives twice is logged once.
Automation flow
New Shopify Order
Fires when an order is placed; Shopify's signature is checked.
Extract Order Details
Order number, customer, total and items are pulled out.
Notify Team
Your team sees every sale land in Slack.
Log Order
The order is added to your sheet, or updated if it's already there.
How it works
- 1Shopify calls n8n the moment an order is created. n8n checks Shopify's signature and ignores anything that isn't a genuine order from your store.
- 2The order number, customer, total and items are pulled out.
- 3Slack gets a message and the order is written to the sheet. If Shopify sends the same order twice, the sheet row is updated instead of duplicated (matched on Order ID).
