Shopify Order Fulfillment & WhatsApp Tracking
On new Shopify fulfillment, validates customer phone via Rapiwa API and sends a WhatsApp tracking message if verified.
What it does
Get instant WhatsApp tracking updates for your customers whenever a new order is fulfilled on Shopify. The system automatically validates phone numbers through the Rapiwa API to ensure message delivery, then sends personalized tracking details while logging every interaction in Google Sheets for easy auditing.
Step by step
- Configure the Shopify webhook trigger to listen for order fulfillment events and map the payload fields.
- Set up a Code node to extract customer phone numbers from the incoming JSON structure.
- Add an HTTP Request node configured with Rapiwa API credentials and endpoint URLs for validation.
- Create a Google Sheets action node to append rows containing order ID, status, and timestamp.
Where the LLM does the work
- Generate dynamic WhatsApp message templates that incorporate specific product names and estimated delivery dates.
- Refine the phone number cleaning logic in the Code node to handle international formatting variations robustly.
- Draft error handling messages for cases where Rapiwa validation fails or returns unexpected status codes.
Watch out for
Invalid phone numbers will cause message delivery failures, so add a conditional branch to skip unverified contacts gracefully.
Sensitive customer data is exposed in logs if not masked properly, so ensure phone numbers are anonymized in the final sheet output.

You are helping me build the following AI agent workflow. ## Goal Shopify Order Fulfillment & WhatsApp Tracking: On new Shopify fulfillment, validates customer phone via Rapiwa API and sends a WhatsApp tracking message if verified. ## Specification - What it does: Get instant WhatsApp tracking updates for your customers whenever a new order is fulfilled on Shopify. The system automatically validates phone numbers through the Rapiwa API to ensure message delivery, then sends personalized tracking details while logging every interaction in Google Sheets for easy auditing. - Trigger: Triggered by an event (Event · on new Shopify fulfillment) - Autonomy: Fully hands-off - Expected setup effort: about an afternoon - Tools/services involved: - n8n: Workflow orchestration platform - Shopify: Order and customer data source - Rapiwa API: WhatsApp number validation and messaging - Google Sheets: Logging verified and unverified interactions ## Known pitfalls, handle each one explicitly in your implementation 1. Invalid phone numbers will cause message delivery failures, so add a conditional branch to skip unverified contacts gracefully. 2. Sensitive customer data is exposed in logs if not masked properly, so ensure phone numbers are anonymized in the final sheet output. ## Reference implementation https://n8n.io/workflows/9003 (workflow template) Fetch and inspect this before building. If it matches my stack, adapt it; if not, rebuild the pattern with my tools. ## Process requirements 1. Before building: ask me which of the listed tools I actually use and what my platform is (n8n / Make / code / other). Do not assume. 2. Adapt the pattern to my answers; do not force the reference stack. 3. Address every pitfall above; tell me how you handled each. 4. Provide a test plan I can run before letting this touch real data. 5. Ask before any step that sends messages, modifies data, or spends money.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use a different Automation Platform than n8n?
Yes. n8n is only the example automation platform in this recipe. The same flow works with Home Assistant. Swap the automation platform connection and keep the rest of the setup as written.
Want this running in your business?
This is what I do. I design and build AI agents like this one, and keep them running. If you want it set up for your team instead of doing it yourself, get in touch.
