FAQ

Questions about Gmail + Shopify.

How do I send a personalized Gmail when a Shopify order arrives?
Shopify Order Created → AI-draft a personalized thank-you using customer name + items → Gmail Send Email. Replaces template emails with one-off personal sends, useful for small-batch or VIP orders.
Can I log customer Gmail replies as Shopify order notes?
Yes. Gmail Email Received (filtered to customer-reply patterns) → look up Shopify customer by email → Shopify Add Order Note with the email content. Customer history visible in admin.
How do I avoid Gmail rate limits when sending from Shopify orders?
Gmail caps at ~500/day personal, 2,000/day Workspace. For high-volume Shopify stores, route through Klaviyo, SendGrid, or Postmark instead. Gmail is best for personal, low-volume sends.
Can Gmail replies trigger Shopify refunds?
Risky to fully automate. Instead: AI-classify the email; if "refund-request" detected, create a CX task in Asana/Linear with the order details for human review. Refunds in Shopify need accountability.
How do I personalize Gmail subject lines from Shopify customer data?
Pass Shopify customer fields (first name, order count, total spend) into the AI prompt with brand-voice examples. AI returns 3 subject line variants. Pick the best via simple rule or human review.
Can I avoid double-emailing customers from Gmail and Shopify?
Disable Shopify's default order-confirmation email if you're sending a custom Gmail. Or wait for Shopify's native flow, and only fire Gmail for follow-ups (post-delivery thank-you, NPS request).
