Shopify Overview#

The Shopify Admin REST & GraphQL API unleashes a myriad of possibilities to automate and enhance online store operations. It provides programmatic access to Shopify functionalities, allowing users to manage products, customers, orders, and more. Leveraging the Shopify Admin API within Pipedream, developers can create custom workflows that automate repetitive tasks, sync data across platforms, and respond dynamically to events in Shopify.

This integration can be used as a custom app on your store, or for automating actions on behalf of merchants through your Shopify app.

Trigger Code#

import constants from "../common/constants.mjs";
import common from "../common/webhook-metafields.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "shopify_developer_app-new-customer-created",
  name: "New Customer Created (Instant)",
  type: "source",
  description: "Emit new event for each new customer added to a store.",
  version: "0.0.4",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getTopic() {
      return constants.EVENT_TOPIC.CUSTOMERS_CREATE;
    },
    generateMeta(resource) {
      const ts = Date.parse(resource.created_at);
      return {
        id: resource.id,
        summary: `New Customer ${resource.id}.`,
        ts,
      };
    },
  },
};

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Shopify	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Shopify app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
Metafield Namespaces	`metafieldNamespaces`	`string[]`	Array of namespaces for any metafields that should be included with each webhook. Metafield definitions can be found in your store's Settings -> Custom Data. Select a metafield to view its namespace under "Namespace and key". For example, if the value is `custom.test_metafield`, the namespace is `custom`.
Private Metafield Namespaces	`privateMetafieldNamespaces`	`string[]`	Array of namespaces for any private metafields that should be included with each webhook. Metafield definitions can be found in your store's Settings -> Custom Data. Select a metafield to view its namespace under "Namespace and key". For example, if the value is `custom.test_metafield`, the namespace is `custom`.

Trigger Authentication#

Shopify uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Shopify account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Shopify APIs in both code and no-code steps.

Action#

Clerk Overview#

The Clerk API lets you manage user authentication and create secure, delightful user experiences in your apps. Within Pipedream's serverless platform, you can harness this API to automate workflows that trigger on user events, sync user data across apps, and maintain robust user management without the heavy lifting of building authentication infrastructure from scratch.
