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.


• Filter products by type using an IF node after the trigger to only announce certain categories.


• Include product images in posts by fetching image URLs and attaching them to messages.
