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

  1. In Zapier, Create a new Zap.
  2. For the Trigger App, select Shopify.
  3. Under Trigger Event, choose New Product.
  4. Connect your Shopify account and test the connection.
    ​

3. Step 2 — Create a Loop for Variants

  1. Add a new Zapier action: Looping by Zapier.
  2. Configure the loop using line items from the Shopify product.
  3. 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

  1. Add another step: Shopify → Find Product Variant by SKU.
  2. Use the SKU from the loop as the search field.
  3. This ensures each variant is accurately located.

5. Step 4 — Connect to Luminous

  1. Add an action: Luminous (via Zapier or Webhook/Custom API if direct app not available).
    ​
  2. Configure with:
    • Luminous API Key
    • Store ID\
  3. 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

  1. Test the Zap by creating a sample product in Shopify.
  2. Verify the product appears correctly in Luminous with all fields mapped.
  3. 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.
