How it works
Getting started
- 1
Connect your ecommerce platform (Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce) as the trigger app
- 2
Choose the trigger event — new order, updated order, new customer, abandoned cart
- 3
Add action steps for each task: update Google Sheets, notify Slack, add to Mailchimp, create QuickBooks invoice
- 4
Use filters to apply logic (e.g., only trigger for orders over $100, or only for first-time customers)
- 5
Test the full workflow with a sample order and verify each step completes
