Create a contact in Front when a new order comes in to Shopify
When a new order comes in to Shopify, create a contact in Front.
Start the 14-day trial, then find it under Templates → Library. It installs into the client you choose, switched off, with its checklist.
Every step, in order
When it happens in the first app, the step runs in the second, with the client’s own account.
- A new order comes in
- A new order in the store, checked every 5 minutes. The app needs the read_orders scope.
- Create a contact
- A contact with an email handle.

What each client fills in
Nothing. It needs only the accounts it connects to.
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).
In the client’s Front: Settings → Developers → API tokens → Create API token with the Shared resources namespace and the Read and Write permissions (Write for the contact step, Read for the triggers, which list events).
After you install it
It lands switched off. The client’s checklist holds exactly this:
- Connect the client’s Shopify, for “A new order comes in”
- Connect the client’s Front, for “Create a contact”
