Marketing Automation #729: Audit Logging with Shopify + Klaviyo + Excel

Problem

Campaign and audit logging data often sit in Shopify while reporting lives in Klaviyo, forcing duplicate updates.

The workflow below routes events once and keeps channel data aligned.

Workflow

Shopify trigger → transform/map fields → Klaviyo action → optional alert via Excel.

Tools Used

• Shopify
• Klaviyo
• Excel

Setup Steps

1. Create credentials for Shopify, Klaviyo, Excel in your orchestration platform.
2. Define the audit logging trigger in Shopify.
3. Map required fields from Shopify to Klaviyo.
4. Add error handling appropriate for a Easy workflow.
5. Run a test payload, then enable production execution (~29 min typical setup in our dataset).

Expected Outcome
