What This Workflow Does

This automation instantly sends WhatsApp order confirmation messages to customers when they complete purchases on your Shopify store. It eliminates manual order notifications and creates a direct communication channel with your customers through the world's most popular messaging platform.

The workflow connects Shopify with MoltFlow's WhatsApp Business API to automatically send personalized order confirmations containing order details, estimated delivery dates, and support information. This reduces customer service inquiries by 40% while improving the post-purchase experience.

How It Works

1. Order Detection

The workflow monitors Shopify for new orders in real-time using webhooks or API polling. When a customer completes checkout, the system immediately captures all order details.

2. Data Processing

Customer information, product details, and order specifics are extracted and formatted for the WhatsApp message template. The system handles currency formatting, product variants, and shipping method details.

3. WhatsApp Delivery

MoltFlow's API sends the structured order confirmation to the customer's WhatsApp number. The message includes clickable order links, support contacts, and appears in the customer's regular WhatsApp chats.
