Connect Shopify to Slack — Send Each New Order Instantly

Every time a new Shopify order comes in, n8n instantly captures the details and post a message to Slack — no manual exports, no missed data, no code.

  1. 1

    Add the Shopify Trigger node

    Start with a Shopify Trigger node — connect your Shopify store credential and set Topic to Order Created (or Order Paid). n8n registers the webhook with Shopify automatically. This fires the workflow the moment a new order arrives.

  2. 2

    Map the fields with a Set node

    Add a Set node after the trigger to shape the data cleanly. Create fields: order_number to {{ $json.order_number }}, email to {{ $json.email }}, total to {{ $json.total_price }}, and created_at to {{ $json.created_at }}. This turns the raw payload into tidy values your destination can use.

  3. 3

    Send it to Slack

    Add a Slack node set to operation Send Message. Connect your Slack workspace, choose the Channel, and set the message Text to a summary built from the Set-node fields, e.g. New order: {{ $json.email }}.

  4. 4

    Activate and test

    Click Activate in the top-right of the canvas. Trigger a test order in Shopify, then confirm it appears in Slack. Once it works, you're done — every new order now flows through automatically.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any coding skills to set this up?

No. n8n is a visual, drag-and-drop tool. You connect your Shopify and Slack accounts, point the nodes at the right form/sheet/channel, map the fields, and activate. No code required.

What happens if my n8n workflow is off when a order comes in?

It depends on the source. Services like Stripe, Shopify and HubSpot retry webhook deliveries for a period, so events are processed once the workflow is back on. For the most reliable capture, run this on n8n Cloud (always online) or keep your self-hosted instance up.

Can I send each order to more than one place at once?

Absolutely. Branch the workflow after the Set node: connect it to multiple destination nodes so the same order lands in Slack and, say, Slack or a spreadsheet simultaneously.
