  1. 1

    Trigger on New Orders

    Add a Shopify Trigger node with the orders/create event so the workflow runs for every purchase.

  2. 2

    Check If It's Their First Order

    Add an IF node comparing {{$json["customer"]["orders_count"]}} equals 1. Only first-time buyers pass through.

  3. 3

    Tag the Customer in Shopify

    Add a Shopify node with operation Update Customer. Append a first-order tag so you can segment and report on new customers later.

  4. 4

    Send the Thank-You via Klaviyo

    Add an HTTP Request or Klaviyo node to trigger a flow, passing the customer's first name and a unique discount code. Klaviyo delivers a branded email thanking them for their first order.

  5. 5

    Activate and Test

    Activate the workflow and place a test order with a brand-new customer account. Confirm the tag appears in Shopify and the email arrives.

Frequently asked questions

How do I generate a unique discount code?

Add a Shopify `Create Discount Code` step before the email and pass the generated code into the Klaviyo payload so each customer gets their own.

Can I delay the email a few hours?

Insert a `Wait` node before the Klaviyo step to send the thank-you after the order has settled, which feels more natural than an instant message.
