Spot Likely Wholesale Buyers on Shopify and Route Them to Sales

When someone orders 40 units or checks out with a business email, they're probably a reseller you could turn into a recurring wholesale account. This workflow spots those signals on every order and hands the lead to your sales team with a Claude-drafted outreach note.

  1. 1

    Trigger on every order

    A Shopify Trigger on orders/create inspects each new order.

  2. 2

    Score wholesale intent

    A Code node flags high total quantity, repeat bulk buying, or a non-free-mail business email domain.

  3. 3

    Filter to real signals

    An IF node continues only for orders that clear the wholesale bar, so retail buyers are left alone.

  4. 4

    Draft the outreach

    Claude writes a short, warm note offering a wholesale/trade account and volume pricing, referencing what they bought.

  5. 5

    Hand it to sales

    A Slack alert and a ready-to-send Gmail draft give sales a one-click follow-up.

Frequently asked questions

How do you detect a business email?

The Code node checks the domain against a free-mail list (gmail, outlook, yahoo...). A custom domain plus a large quantity is a strong reseller signal.

Won't this annoy normal bulk buyers?

The note is a genuine offer of better pricing for buying more — most bulk buyers welcome it. You control the quantity threshold to keep it relevant.
