Customer Success Automation #1669: Smart Alerts with Shopify + Klaviyo + PayPal

Problem

CS teams track smart alerts across Shopify, Klaviyo, PayPal, but manual updates mean health scores and account notes drift out of date.

This workflow keeps customer records consistent after each lifecycle event.
