Get notified every time a web shop order is refunded
A man running a couple of small Shopify stores found three refunds only on payout day, because the notices were buried in his email. He built an n8n flow that asks the store for refunded orders every hour and posts the order name and refund total to a Slack channel he actually reads. Partial refunds arrive as updates, so he dedupes by order ID to avoid double alerts. He shares the basic version free, but sells a fuller one himself.

How to do it
- Paste the prompt into the tool, and replace the text in brackets with your own.
- Read the answer through. Do not send, delete or publish anything until you have seen it yourself.
- Check the original before you trust a figure, a name or a date.
Try it with n8n
Every hour, fetch orders from my web shop refunded since the last check. Send me the order number and refund amount in the channel I read, and never alert the same order twice. Do not change anything in the shop. Show me the first three alerts from a test run before the check runs on its own. You are done when a test refund produces exactly one alert with the right amount.
