Choose a bounded event and destination
Shopify supports event notifications through webhooks. Which data a connection can use depends on the app, permissions, and supported event. We first confirm the intended workflow and check whether an existing app or custom implementation is appropriate.
Plan for repeats, delays, and missing updates
A connection must avoid sending the same follow up twice or acting on an outdated order state. Shopify documents that webhook delivery order and delivery itself are not guaranteed. Scope duplicate handling, recovery, and reconciliation alongside the initial connection.
What it looks like in practice.
An approved order event updates a customer's CRM context. The store continues sending its own order confirmation. A separate internal task alerts staff when manual follow up is needed, with duplicate event handling to prevent multiple tasks for the same event.
What to measure.
Review missing or duplicate records, recovery time, and the operational value of the chosen workflow before adding more events.
