Order Fulfillment

From new Shopify order to shipped, invoiced, and confirmed — or held for ops, or cancelled — without anyone copy-pasting.

OperationsFinance

Ecom ops teams spend their mornings shuttling orders between Shopify, the warehouse, QuickBooks, and the customer's inbox. Things break: invoices miss orders, ship times slip, fraudulent orders sneak through.

This workflow runs on every new order: Claude validates it, then routes to the right path — pass orders go straight to ShipHero, QuickBooks, and a confirmation email; review orders pause for ops with a holding reply; cancel orders get refunded and notified. A summary lands in #orders.

Every new Shopify order kicks fulfillment off

Every Relay.app workflow starts with a trigger. Here it's an event: a new order lands in Shopify and the workflow fires in seconds — no end-of-day batches, no nightly cron. The validation runs immediately so most orders are in the warehouse pipeline within a minute of clicking buy. Same shape works for WooCommerce, Square, or a custom checkout.

Also works with:

Claude reads the order and tags the outcome

Claude classifies the order into one of three buckets — pass, review, cancel — using country mismatch, value outliers, SKU risk, and fraud signals. The classification is the routing key for the path-group below. Swap Claude for GPT-5.5 or Gemini 3.1 Pro, or pair it with a Shopify customer-history lookup for repeat-buyer context.

Explore variants:

One classifier, three paths

Claude's classification kicks one of three paths. Pass orders go straight to ShipHero for picking, QuickBooks for invoicing, and a warm Gmail confirmation. Review orders draft a holding reply, ping the ops lead in Slack for a decision, and update the order status in Shopify so the warehouse doesn't pick from limbo. Cancel orders cancel in Shopify and send a polite refund notice via Gmail.

Click any tab above to see what runs in each branch.

Log every order to the team's running thread

Whichever path fired, a single summary posts to #orders in Slack — total, items, ship destination, validation outcome. The ops team can scroll the day's orders without opening Shopify. Notion, Coda, Airtable, a Sheets row — wherever your team actually keeps logs.

Make it yours in Relay.app

Start from this template and adapt it to your stack and your team. Relay.app's copilot picks up from here — swap any app, change the AI model, tweak the trigger, whatever fits your use case.

What is Relay.app?

Relay.app is the easiest way to automate with AI across 200+ popular apps, with fine-grained control over what each workflow can access and do.

Describe what you want and Relay.app's AI builds the workflow for you. But if you like to tinker, you'll love using the visual editor. It's fast, opinionated, intuitive, and feels nothing like wiring diagrams.
