Send an email in SendGrid when an order is paid in Shopify

When an order is paid in Shopify, send an email in SendGrid.

Start the 14-day trial, then find it under Templates → Library. It installs into the client you choose, switched off, with its checklist.

UsesBeta

Every step, in order

When it happens in the first app, the step runs in the second, with the client’s own account.

An order is paid
An order whose payment went through, checked every 5 minutes; once per order. The app needs the read_orders scope.
Send an email
Plain-text email from a verified sender.

What each client fills in

SendGrid: From address
For example hello@northside.example

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).

  • SendGrid → Settings → API Keys → Create API Key with Mail Send access; for the triggers, also the Event Webhook settings permission (user.webhooks.event.settings.read and user.webhooks.event.settings.update), or Full Access. The From address must be a verified sender.

After you install it

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

  1. Connect the client’s Shopify, for “An order is paid”
  2. Connect the client’s SendGrid, for “Send an email”
  3. Fill in SendGrid: From address (For example hello@northside.example)

Thrum is cooking.
