Receive Slack Alerts for High-Risk Shopify Orders

This step automatically captures order data the moment someone completes a purchase on your Shopify store. The trigger pulls essential order information including the order number, customer details, payment information, and preliminary fraud indicators. No configuration is needed - it runs continuously in the background and feeds fresh order data to the next step for risk assessment. The system processes every order regardless of value or customer history.

This step automatically fetches your Shopify store's configuration details, particularly the shop domain needed to construct proper admin URLs. The system connects to Shopify's API and retrieves store metadata including your myshopify.com domain, store name, and other shop-level settings. This information gets processed and formatted so the final Slack message can include a clickable link directly to the suspicious order. No user input is required as it uses your existing Shopify connection.

This step queries Shopify's fraud detection system to get detailed risk assessments for the order captured in step 1. The system pulls fraud analysis data including risk levels, assessment scores, and specific fraud indicators that Shopify's algorithms have identified. The retrieved data includes multiple risk assessments since Shopify often runs several fraud detection checks per order. This risk information gets passed to the next step where it's filtered to identify only high-risk situations.

This step processes the risk assessment data from step 3 and specifically looks for assessments marked with a "HIGH" risk level. The system loops through all available fraud assessments for the order and maintains a running count of how many meet the high-risk criteria. Only orders with at least one high-risk assessment will trigger the Slack notification in the final step. This prevents false alarms from low or medium-risk orders that don't require immediate attention.

This step sends a formatted message to your specified Slack channel containing the order number and a direct link to view the order in your Shopify admin. You'll need to configure the "channel" field with your desired Slack channel name (like #orders or #fraud-alerts). The message includes the order name and constructs a clickable admin URL using your store domain from step 2. Make sure to enter the exact channel name as it appears in your Slack workspace, including the # symbol if your channel uses one.
