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-shipment",
  name: "New Shipment (Instant)",
  type: "source",
  description: "Emit new event for each new fulfillment event for a store.",
  version: "0.0.4",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getTopic() {
      return constants.EVENT_TOPIC.ORDERS_FULFILLED;
    },
    generateMeta(resource) {
      const ts = Date.parse(resource.updated_at);
      return {
        id: ts,
        summary: `New Shipped Order ${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.

Pipedream Utils Overview#

The Pipedream Utils app is a set of pre-built functions that streamline common tasks in your workflows. It acts like a Swiss Army knife for developers, providing essential tools such as format conversion, date manipulation, and text processing. By leveraging these functions, you can reduce the boilerplate code needed for routine operations, speeding up the development of intricate automations. The Helper Functions API can be a game changer when it comes to tasks like parsing dates in user-friendly formats, encoding and decoding data, or generating UUIDs, making them more efficient and less error-prone.
