Target Audience

E-commerce Managers: Those who manage online stores on Shopify and want to streamline their operations with delivery services.
Logistics Coordinators: Individuals responsible for managing deliveries and need to keep their platforms updated with real-time information.
Developers/Technical Users: Users who are familiar with n8n and want to automate workflows between Onfleet and Shopify.
Small Business Owners: Owners looking for efficient ways to manage their online store and delivery processes without extensive technical knowledge.

Problem Solved

This workflow addresses the challenge of keeping Shopify tags updated in response to Onfleet delivery events, specifically when tasks are delayed. By automating this process, it ensures that the e-commerce platform reflects accurate delivery statuses, enhancing customer communication and operational efficiency.

Workflow Steps

  • Trigger Event: The workflow starts with the Onfleet Trigger node, which listens for a specific event, in this case, when a task is delayed.
    2. Webhook Activation: Once the delay event is detected, it activates the workflow through the webhook with ID 6d6a2bee-f83e-4ebd-a1d5-8708c34393dc.
    3. Shopify Update: The workflow then proceeds to the Shopify node, which is configured to update the tags associated with a product or order.
    4. Dynamic Tagging: Although the current setup has an empty tag field, users can customize this to reflect relevant tags based on the delay or other criteria, ensuring that the Shopify store accurately communicates delivery statuses to customers.

    • Customization Guide

  • Modify the Trigger Event: Users can change the triggerOn parameter in the Onfleet Trigger node to listen for different events (e.g., taskCompleted, taskAssigned).
    2. Customize Tags: In the Shopify node, users should populate the tags field with relevant information that reflects the current order or delivery status (e.g., 'Delayed', 'On the way').
    3. Add Conditions: Users can introduce conditional logic to update tags based on specific criteria, enhancing the workflow's responsiveness to various events.
    4. Test the Workflow: After making changes, users should test the workflow to ensure it performs as expected and updates Shopify accurately.
