How to connect Gmail and Shopify
- Step 1: Create a new workflow
- Step 2: Add and configure nodes
- Step 3: Connect
- Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
- Step 5: Test and activate your workflow
Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step
In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.
Step 2: Add and configure Gmail and Shopify nodes
You can find Gmail and Shopify in the nodes panel. Drag them onto your workflow canvas, selecting their actions. Click each node, choose a credential, and authenticate to grant n8n access. Configure Gmail and Shopify nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.
Step 3: Connect Gmail and Shopify
A connection establishes a link between Gmail and Shopify (or vice versa) to route data through the workflow. Data flows from the output of one node to the input of another. You can have single or multiple connections for each node.
Step 4: Customize and extend your Gmail and Shopify integration
Use n8n's core nodes such as If, Split Out, Merge, and others to transform and manipulate data. Write custom JavaScript or Python in the Code node and run it as a step in your workflow. Connect Gmail and Shopify with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.
Step 5: Test and activate your Gmail and Shopify workflow
Save and run the workflow to see if everything works as expected. Based on your configuration, data should flow from Gmail to Shopify or vice versa. Easily debug your workflow: you can check past executions to isolate and fix the mistake. Once you've tested everything, make sure to save your workflow and activate it.

Process Shopify new orders with Zoho CRM and Harvest
This workflow is triggered when a new order is created in Shopify. Then:
the order information is stored in Zoho CRM,
an invoice is created in Harvest and stored in Trello,
if the order value is above 50, an email with a discount coupon is sent to the customer and they are added to a MailChimp campaign for high-value customers; otherwise, only a "thank you" email is sent to the customer.
Note that you need to replace the List ID in the Trello node with your own ID (see instructions in our docs). Same goes for the Account ID in the Harvest node (see instructions here).
Build your own Gmail and Shopify integration
Create custom Gmail and Shopify workflows by choosing triggers and actions. Nodes come with global operations and settings, as well as app-specific parameters that can be configured. You can also use the HTTP Request node to query data from any app or service with a REST API.

Instead of using IFTTT or Zapier, which can be pretty limiting on a free tier, I decided to try n8n, which is a fair-code licensed tool.
