Post a message in Slack when a new order comes in to Shopify

When a new order comes in to Shopify, post a message in Slack.

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.
Post a message
Post to a channel the app has been invited to.

What each client fills in

Slack: Channel
For example #leads or C0123456789

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 Slack: api.slack.com/apps → Create New App → OAuth & Permissions → add the chat:write scope (and channels:history, plus groups:history for a private channel, for the message trigger) → Install to Workspace → copy the Bot User OAuth Token. Invite the app to the channel.

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 Slack, for “Post a message”
  3. Fill in Slack: Channel (For example #leads or C0123456789)

Thrum is cooking.
