Create a record in Airtable when a new order comes in to Shopify

What each client fills in

Airtable: Base ID

From the base’s URL: airtable.com/appXXXX/…

Airtable: Table

For example Leads

The accounts it needs

Each is the client’s own, stored encrypted and never copied between clients. Until one is added the client’s checklist shows it, and nothing runs.

• 

  Only for a store that already has an admin-created custom app. In the client’s Shopify admin: Apps → Develop apps → the app: its Admin API scopes must include write_customers and read_orders; the token is under API credentials (shown once when it is made; if it is no longer shown, generate a new one).

• Airtable

  airtable.com/create/tokens → Create token → scopes data.records:write and data.records:read (lookups and the triggers) → add the client’s base → copy the token.

After you install it

It lands switched off. The client’s checklist holds exactly this:

1. Connect the client’s Shopify, for “A new order comes in”
2. Connect the client’s Airtable, for “Create a record”
3. Fill in Airtable: Base ID (From the base’s URL: airtable.com/appXXXX/…)
4. Fill in Airtable: Table (For example Leads)
5. Match Airtable’s fields to the client’s own: Order number 1001, Their email, Total, Currency
