How it works

2 steps to get Slack notifications every time someone pays for a Shopify order

Shopify logo icon

Paid Order

App connector: Shopify • Time to complete: 0 minutes (Auto-configured)
Why this matters: This trigger monitors your Shopify store and automatically starts the workflow whenever a customer successfully pays for an order, capturing all the order details you'll need for your notification.

This step runs automatically in the background and watches for payment events across all your order channels - online checkout, POS, draft orders, and subscription renewals. When a payment processes successfully, it captures the complete order data including order number, customer information, line items, and payment details. No configuration is needed since MESA connects to your existing Shopify store permissions. The trigger passes all order information to the next step so you can customize what details appear in your Slack message.

Send Message

App connector: Slack • Time to complete: 2 minutes
Why this matters: This action delivers the payment notification to your chosen Slack channel with order details, keeping your team informed about successful transactions in real-time.

You'll need to specify which Slack channel receives the notifications by entering the channel name in the "What is the Slack channel you would like to send the message to?" field - for example, "#sales" or "#orders". The message automatically includes the order name (like #1001) with a thumbs up emoji to celebrate the successful payment. You can customize the message text to include additional order details or change the tone to match your team's communication style. When this step runs, it posts the formatted message to your specified channel where your team can see it instantly.

Customize this workflow even further:

Add order value alerts
Include order total amounts in your Slack messages and set up conditional logic to send different notifications for high-value orders versus regular purchases.
Route to different channels
Use conditional steps to send notifications to different Slack channels based on order characteristics - like routing wholesale orders to #b2b-sales and retail orders to #general.
Store notification data
Save successful payment details to a Google Sheets spreadsheet or database table to track notification history and order patterns over time.
Connect multiple messaging apps
Extend the workflow to send the same payment notification to Discord, Microsoft Teams, or email alongside Slack for broader team coverage.
