Common issues and how to fix them
- Workflow does not trigger: Check Shopify Trigger node uses “products/create” topic and webhook is active in Shopify settings.
- Twitter posts are empty or wrong: Verify the message text uses correct double curly braces syntax exactly matching Shopify fields.
- Telegram messages not arriving: Confirm chat ID is correct and bot has permission to send messages to that chat.
Ideas for customization
- Add hashtags or product price in social messages by editing the message text expressions.
- Add more social channels by inserting nodes for Facebook, Instagram, or others.
