FAQ

Questions about Order Cancelled.

How does the Order Cancelled trigger work in Shopify?
Fires when an order is cancelled in Shopify. Use to stop a fulfillment pipeline, void shipping labels, or trigger a win-back email.
Is the Order Cancelled trigger real-time?
Yes. Order Cancelled uses webhooks or push subscriptions, not polling. Your workflow fires within seconds of the event happening in Shopify.
What data does Order Cancelled return?
The full event payload from Shopify. The output shape table on this page lists every field, its type, and an example value so you can map fields into downstream nodes.
Can I filter Order Cancelled so only some events start a workflow?
Yes. Add a Filter node right after the trigger and match on any field, whether that's subject, sender, status, or anything else in the payload. Workflows only continue when the filter passes.
Do I need Shopify admin permissions to use Order Cancelled?
For most Shopify accounts a standard user can authorize the trigger. Some Shopify plans require an admin to enable third-party webhooks. Check Shopify's docs if the trigger fails to register.
