FAQ
Questions about Order Completed.
How does the Order Completed trigger work in WooCommerce?
Fires when a WooCommerce order moves to status "completed". Common use: post-purchase email, fulfillment handoff, accounting sync, review request.
Is the Order Completed trigger real-time?
Yes. Order Completed uses webhooks or push subscriptions, not polling. Your workflow fires within seconds of the event happening in WooCommerce.
What data does Order Completed return?
The full event payload from WooCommerce. 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 Completed 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 WooCommerce admin permissions to use Order Completed?
For most WooCommerce accounts a standard user can authorize the trigger. Some WooCommerce plans require an admin to enable third-party webhooks. Check WooCommerce's docs if the trigger fails to register.
