How it works

3 steps to start syncing Shopify customers with your Salesforce accounts

Shopify logo icon

Customer Created or Updated

App connector: Shopify • Time to complete: 0 minutes (Auto-configured)
Why this matters: This step monitors your Shopify store for any new customers or changes to existing customer information, ensuring your Salesforce data stays current without manual updates.

This trigger activates whenever a customer is created in your Shopify store or when existing customer details are updated (like address changes, phone numbers, or notes). The system automatically captures all customer data including name, email, phone, addresses, and any custom notes you've added. No configuration is required - it works with your existing Shopify customer database and passes this information to the next step for processing.

Query Single Account

App connector: Salesforce • Time to complete: 0 minutes (Auto-configured)
Why this matters: This step prevents duplicate accounts by checking if the customer already exists in Salesforce before creating a new record, maintaining clean data organization.

The system searches your Salesforce database using the Shopify Customer ID to see if an account already exists for this customer. It runs an automated query that looks for any existing account with a matching Shopify Customer ID in your custom field. If found, it retrieves the Salesforce Account ID for updating; if not found, it returns empty so the next step knows to create a new account.

Create or Update Account

App connector: Salesforce • Time to complete: 2 minutes
Why this matters: This step creates new Salesforce accounts for first-time customers or updates existing accounts with fresh information, keeping your CRM data synchronized with your store.

The system either creates a new account or updates an existing one based on the previous step's results. It automatically maps the customer's first and last name to the Account Name field, copies their email to a custom Email field, stores their Shopify Customer ID for future reference, and includes any notes from their Shopify profile in the Description. You can customize additional fields like Account Type, Industry, Phone, billing/shipping addresses, and other Salesforce-specific data by configuring the available field mappings.
