01 · Problem

The problem

An author and digital product business needed to automate member onboarding after customers purchased a book through Shopify. The goal was to eliminate manual data entry by automatically capturing customer details, creating portal users, and sending invitation emails that granted access to a Softr-based member portal immediately after purchase.

02 · Solution

What we built

Implemented an automation workflow that connects Shopify, Airtable, and Softr to streamline member onboarding after product purchases. When a customer purchases the Legacy Book through Shopify, the system automatically captures the buyer's first name, last name, and email address, creates or updates the corresponding record in Airtable, and triggers a Softr portal invitation email. The solution removes manual administrative work, ensures customer information is synchronized across platforms, and provides immediate access to the portal experience following a successful purchase. Testing procedures were also established using Shopify discount codes to validate the end-to-end onboarding workflow before launch.
