Add Customer Metafields to Shopify Order Notes

This step automatically detects when a new order is created in your Shopify store and captures all the order details including customer information. The trigger runs in real-time, so there's no delay between when an order is placed and when the workflow begins processing. It passes the complete order data, including the customer ID, to the next step so the workflow knows which customer's metafields to retrieve. No configuration is needed - this step works automatically once the workflow is activated.

This step automatically queries Shopify's API to fetch all metafields belonging to the customer from the triggering order. It uses the customer ID from the previous step to find the right metafields and returns them as a list that can be processed. The step filters specifically for customer metafields, so it won't pull metafields from products or other resources. All retrieved metafields get formatted and prepared for the final step where they'll be added to the order notes.

This step formats each customer metafield with a clean label and value, then appends this information to the existing order notes. The metafield keys get transformed from technical names (like "customer_tier") into readable labels (like "Customer tier") for better clarity. Each metafield appears as a separate line with a dash and proper formatting, making the information easy to scan. The notes get appended rather than replaced, so any existing order notes remain intact while the customer metafield data gets added at the end.
