Introduction

Keep your CRM up to date automatically whenever a customer refund happens in Shopify. This workflow pulls the customer email from the refunded order and writes the refund reason into Zoho CRM as a note, giving your team instant visibility into returns and refund context.

Benefits

  • Keep customer history accurate by recording refund reasons directly in Zoho CRM
  • Reduce manual copy-paste between Shopify and your CRM
  • Help sales and support teams see return/refund context before they follow up
  • Create a consistent audit trail for refunds linked to the right customer record

Trigger Event

When a new refund is created in Shopify.

Actions

  1. Find the matching Shopify order using the refund’s order_id.
  2. Confirm the order exists so the workflow only continues when a valid order is found.
  3. Look up the customer in Zoho CRM using the email address from the Shopify order.
  4. If a matching CRM record is found, create a note in Zoho CRM that includes the refund/return reason (pulled from the refund note field).
