Automatically Fulfill Shopify Line Items by SKU

When an order is created in Shopify, this trigger activates the workflow and captures the complete order including {{shopify.id}} and the {{shopify.line_items[]}} array which contains all products in the order with their SKUs, quantities, fulfillment status, and line item IDs. The workflow runs for every new order placed in your store regardless of sales channel.

This loop step iterates through each item in the {{shopify.line_items[]}} array. For every line item, the loop executes the subsequent SKU matching and fulfillment steps using {{loop.sku}}, {{loop.id}}, {{loop.quantity}}, and {{loop.fulfillment_status}} as the data for that specific item. This granular approach allows orders with both digital and physical products to be partially fulfilled automatically while leaving physical items for normal fulfillment.

This filter checks two conditions that both must be true: (1) {{loop.sku}} equals your configured SKU (you enter the exact SKU during setup that should be auto-fulfilled, like "GIFTCARD-100" or "DIGITAL-COURSE"), AND (2) {{loop.fulfillment_status}} is empty (meaning the item hasn't already been fulfilled, preventing duplicate fulfillments). If both conditions are met, the workflow proceeds to create the fulfillment. If the SKU doesn't match or the item is already fulfilled, the workflow skips that line item and continues to the next one in the loop. Configuration tip: The SKU must match exactly (case-sensitive), so verify the exact SKU format in your Shopify products before entering it here.

This step creates a fulfillment for the matching line item using {{shopify.id}} as the order ID, {{loop.id}} as the line item ID, and {{loop.quantity}} for the quantity to fulfill. You need to configure the location_id during setup—this should be the location ID where you track this product's inventory. To find your location ID, go to Settings > Locations in Shopify admin, click on the location, and look at the URL which shows a number like "12345678901"—that's your location ID. The fulfillment is created for only the specific line item, not the entire order, so mixed orders with physical and digital products will be partially fulfilled with only the auto-fulfill items marked as complete.
