Trigger Shopify Flow by customer update

In this article we want to show you how to trigger your workflow in Shopify Flow on customer update.

At first you need to request permissions for "Customer Data Access", since we disabled access per default.

Click on "Request Permission". A new popups needs your confirmation

Click "Update". Now you can use our customer update trigger.

You can revoke access at any time.

Now can start building your flow. Select the "Customer Update" trigger from our App Flow Trigger Extensions.

For testing purposes we use the debug log Action that just prints stuff into the result.

You can use the customer object from variables for customer related data like id, email or addresses.

The final flow looks like this:

Now you can update a customer and check invocations for the given flow. In my example i just add the Tag "Test" to an existing customer.

In the "Flow" App i go to "Recent runs" and check if there was an invocation:

As you can see it works. It prints our text "Updated customer {{ customer.id }} like we wanted.

Have fun building advanced workflows with this
