Reference API

https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-rest/2025-07/resources/customer#post-customers

Use Create A Customer API under Shopify Beta Public System

Scenario

A business wants to:

  • Create multiple customers in Shopify
  • Maintain a single consolidated log file instead of multiple entries

So, after all customers are created:

  • Their details should be combined (concatenated)
  • A single file should be created in SFTP

What You Need to Do

Step 1: Provide Input Data (5 Customers)

[
 {
   "first_name": "Alice",
   "last_name": "Johnson",
   "email": "alice.johnson@test.com"
 },
 {
   "first_name": "Bob",
   "last_name": "Smith",
   "email": "bob.smith@test.com"
 },
 {
   "first_name": "Charlie",
   "last_name": "Brown",
   "email": "charlie.brown@test.com"
 },
 {
   "first_name": "Diana",
   "last_name": "Miller",
   "email": "diana.miller@test.com"
 },
 {
   "first_name": "Ethan",
   "last_name": "Davis",
   "email": "ethan.davis@test.com"
 }
]

Step 2: Create Customers in Shopify

  • Loop through the input data
  • Connect to Shopify and use Create Customer API

Step 3: Collect Data During Execution

  • For each successful response:
  • Extract:
  • First Name
  • Last Name
  • Email
  • Build a combined string (concatenation)

👉 Example format:

Customer Created:

Name: Alice Johnson

Email: alice.johnson@test.com

Customer Created:

Name: Bob Smith

Email: bob.smith@test.com

Step 4: Create File After Loop

  • After all customers are processed , add an SFTP step (outside the loop)
  • Choose Upload File

Step 5: Configure File Content

  • Use the concatenated result as file content
  • File path: /logs/customers_summary.txt

Step 6: Run the Workflow

  • Click Sync Now
  • Verify:
  • 5 customers created in Shopify
  • One file created in SFTP

Note: Check if the required scope is configured correctly in the Shopify app.

Expected Outcome

  • All 5 customers are created successfully
  • A single file is created in SFTP
  • File contains details of all customers
