Schoolkinecookies review for Zapier: Workflow Automation

July 15, 2015

Zapier continually provides our business with workaround solutions that would otherwise be impossible. Long story short, great user interface, A+ reliability, endless possibilities for custom implementations, and definitely worth the money. Most recently we created a Zapier "Zap" that triggers a custom email in gmail when a new order is placed in Shopify. The Zap receives all relevant information from the order (customer name, billing address, billing city, shipping state, etc. etc. etc.), and also includes an email address that is stored as a custom attribute within shopify (process deatiled at http://bit.ly/1fJT2fa ). The zap then sends an email to that person through our gmail account. For our specific purposes this email says "Greetings {CustomAttributeName}, {Customer Name} has just placed an order in support of your fundraiser." but I imagine you could use this same functionality if you ask a customer at checkout to "Refer a Friend" or something like that.
