1. Overview
This workflow (Zap) ensures that whenever a new product is created in Shopify, a matching product is automatically created in Luminous. The process involves:
Trigger: New product in Shopify
Actions: Loop through product variants, map fields, and push data to Luminous
2. Step 1 — Set Up Trigger in Shopify
In Zapier, Create a new Zap.
For the Trigger App, select Shopify.
Under Trigger Event, choose New Product.
Connect your Shopify account and test the connection.
3. Step 2 — Create a Loop for Variants
Add a new Zapier action: Looping by Zapier.
Configure the loop using line items from the Shopify product.
Fields to include from Shopify:
SKU → Use as Title.
Category → Map from Variants Inventory Item SKU.
Product Title → Map from Product Title.
Variant Title → Map from Variants Title.
Variant ID → Map from Variants Product ID.
Product ID → Map from Shopify ID.
Vendor → Map from Product Vendor.
Variant Price → Map from Variants Price.
Product Cost → Map from Variants Inventory Item Unit Cost Amount.
Product Tags → Map from Shopify Tags.
Product Image → Map from Media Preview Image URL.
Description → Map from Shopify Description.
Delivery Profile → Map from Variants Delivery Profile Name.
Unit Cost → Map from Variants Inventory Item Unit Cost Amount.
Image URL (alt) → Map from Media Image URL.
4. Step 3 — Find Product Variant
Add another step: Shopify → Find Product Variant by SKU.
Use the SKU from the loop as the search field.
This ensures each variant is accurately located.
5. Step 4 — Connect to Luminous
Add an action: Luminous (via Zapier or Webhook/Custom API if direct app not available).
Configure with:
Luminous API Key
Store ID
Map fields from the loop to Luminous:
SKU → SKU
Product Name → Product Title
Category Name → Category values from loop
Supplier Name → Vendor
Product Vendor → Vendor
Image URL → Image URL values
Product Description → Description
Unit Cost → Unit Cost value
Product Cost → Cost value
6. Step 5 — Test & Activate
Test the Zap by creating a sample product in Shopify.
Verify the product appears correctly in Luminous with all fields mapped.
Turn the Zap on to activate automation.
7. Summary
With this Zap:
Every new Shopify product triggers the automation.
Variants are looped, processed, and mapped.
Products are created in Luminous with all relevant details.
This ensures seamless synchronization between Shopify and Luminous, saving time and reducing errors.
