1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Shopify to MySQL Integration

To automate the addition of cancelled Shopify order details into a MySQL database, we will use Pabbly Connect. First, create your free account on Pabbly Connect, which can be done quickly using the sign-up link provided in the description. Once your account is set up, navigate to the dashboard to create a new automation workflow.

Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and name your workflow, for example, ‘Shopify to MySQL’. Select a folder for your workflow and click ‘Create’. This opens a new workflow window where you will set up the trigger and action steps necessary for this integration.

2. Connecting Shopify to Pabbly Connect

In this step, we will connect our Shopify account to Pabbly Connect. Start by selecting Shopify as the app in the trigger section and choose the trigger event as ‘Order Cancelled’. After selecting this trigger event, Pabbly Connect provides a webhook URL that you will use to connect Shopify with.

• Copy the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect.
• Log into your Shopify account and go to Settings.
• Navigate to Notifications and select Webhooks.
• Click on the ‘Create Webhook’ button and select ‘Order Cancelled’ as the event.
• Paste the webhook URL and save the webhook.

After saving, your Shopify account is now connected to Pabbly Connect, and it will wait for a webhook response whenever an order is cancelled. This allows you to capture the details of the cancelled order directly into Pabbly Connect.

3. Capturing Cancelled Order Details from Shopify

Once a cancellation occurs, Pabbly Connect will capture the details automatically. To test this, go to your Shopify store and cancel an order. For instance, select an order and click on ‘Cancel Order’. After entering the cancellation reason, confirm the cancellation.

Upon cancellation, return to Pabbly Connect, where you will see the captured response containing all relevant order details such as the order ID, customer name, and total amount. This confirms that the integration is functioning correctly.

Ensure you have all necessary details from the cancelled order, including:

• Order ID
• Customer Name
• Customer Email
• Total Amount

With these details captured, you are ready to move to the next step of sending this data to your MySQL database.

4. Sending Data to MySQL Database

The next step involves sending the captured data from Pabbly Connect to your MySQL database. In the action step, search for MySQL and select it. Choose the action event ‘Insert Row’ to add a new record to your database.

Connect your MySQL account by entering the database username, password, host, and port. After entering these details, click on ‘Save’ to establish the connection. Once connected, select the table where you want to insert the cancelled order details.

Select the table named ‘shopyy canceled order’. Map the order ID, customer name, and other relevant fields from the captured data to the respective columns in your MySQL table.

Finally, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This action will insert the details into your MySQL database, confirming that the integration is complete and functioning correctly.

5. Testing the Integration

After setting up the integration, it’s crucial to test it. Go back to your Shopify store and cancel another order. For example, select an order and click on ‘Cancel Order’. After confirming the cancellation, return to your MySQL database.

Refresh the table in your MySQL database, and you should see a new record added with the details of the cancelled order. This real-time testing confirms that Pabbly Connect is effectively automating the process of adding cancelled order details into your MySQL database.

By following these steps, you can ensure that your Shopify orders are automatically tracked in your database, allowing for better management and reporting. This integration not only saves time but also enhances operational efficiency.

In this tutorial, we demonstrated how to use Pabbly Connect to automate the addition of cancelled Shopify order details into a MySQL database. By following these steps, you can streamline your order management process and ensure accurate record-keeping.
