Problem Solved

This workflow addresses the challenge of manual order fulfillment in e-commerce. By automating the task creation in Onfleet whenever a new fulfillment is created in Shopify, it reduces the risk of errors, saves time, and enhances operational efficiency. Businesses can respond to customer needs faster, ensuring timely deliveries and improved customer satisfaction.

Workflow Steps

  • Trigger: The workflow starts with a manual trigger via the Shopify Trigger node when a new fulfillment is created in Shopify.
    2. Webhook Activation: The webhook listens for the 'fulfillments/create' event, capturing relevant fulfillment data.
    3. Data Transfer: Once the webhook is activated, it sends the captured data to the Onfleet node.
    4. Task Creation: The Onfleet node processes the data and creates a new delivery task based on the fulfillment information received from Shopify.
    5. Completion: The workflow completes, ensuring that the delivery task is now scheduled in Onfleet, ready for execution.
  • Customization Guide

    Users can customize this workflow by:
    - Modifying Trigger Parameters: Change the topic in the Shopify Trigger node to listen for different events (e.g., 'orders/create').
    - Adding Additional Fields: In the Onfleet node, users can specify additional fields such as destination address, estimated time, or any custom fields required for their delivery tasks.
    - Integrating Additional Nodes: Users can add more nodes for notifications (e.g., sending emails or SMS alerts) when a new task is created.
    - Adjusting Credentials: Ensure that the correct API credentials for both Shopify and Onfleet are used to maintain secure connections.
