Shopify workflow automation

Automate your Shopify store with 200+ apps

Shopify workflow automation on Connectify starts the moment something happens in your store: an order is paid, a customer signs up, a product changes, a refund is issued. Thirty-two store events can start a workflow, and the steps that follow can log, notify, chase, enrich and sync across 200+ apps, with several stores in one account.

What you can do

32 triggers and 1 action, straight from the app

Each item is a real step in the Connectify builder. Fields are filled by typing @ to insert data from the trigger or an earlier step.

Permissions and data

What Connectify asks Shopify for, and why

Only the access the actions above need. You approve it on the provider's own page when you connect.

  • Connectify receives only the store events your workflows subscribe to, and each event is signature-checked before it is processed.
  • Your store’s access token is encrypted before it is stored and decrypted only while a step runs.
  • The data a run receives and returns is kept in run history for 30, 60 or 90 days by plan, then deleted automatically.
  • Uninstalling the app from Shopify removes the subscriptions and deletes the store’s data in line with the privacy policy.

Shopify questions

Can I connect more than one store?

Yes. Install the app on each store; they all appear in one Connectify account, and each step lets you choose the store.

Which Shopify actions are available?

Today the Shopify step creates customers. Orders, products and collections are read through the 32 triggers; writing to them is not switched on yet.

How is a Shopify store billed?

Through Shopify billing on your store’s invoice. The plans are the same as for everyone else.

Does it work with Shopify Sidekick?

Yes. You can ask Sidekick about your workflows, recent runs, failures and usage.

Can I sync existing records?

Yes. Bulk sync pushes existing records between Shopify and other apps, not only new events.
