				Options: coupon.created, coupon.deleted, coupon.updated, customer.created, customer.deleted, customer.updated, order.created, order.deleted, order.updated, product.created, product.deleted, product.updated

Output Data

Each accepted delivery produces one output item containing the full WooCommerce resource (order, product, customer or coupon) with these fields added:

• _trigger — always woocommerce_webhook
• _timestamp — ISO 8601 timestamp of when the delivery was received
• _webhookEvent — the WooCommerce topic that fired, e.g. order.created
• _webhookResource — the resource part of the topic, e.g. order
• _webhookId — the WooCommerce webhook ID that sent the delivery

Deliveries whose topic does not match the configured Event are acknowledged but do not start the workflow.

Reference the payload downstream by expression, e.g. {{ $json.billing.email }}.

Example Configuration

Start a workflow on every new order:

{
  "type": "woocommerce_trigger",
  "parameters": {
    "event": "order.created"
  }
}

React to product updates:

{
  "type": "woocommerce_trigger",
  "parameters": {
    "event": "product.updated"
  }
}

Welcome newly registered customers:

{
  "type": "woocommerce_trigger",
  "parameters": {
    "event": "customer.created"
  }
}

Trigger Behavior

• Activation: When the workflow is activated, a webhook endpoint is registered with the service.
• Deactivation: The webhook is automatically unregistered when the workflow is deactivated.
• Payload: The incoming webhook payload is parsed and output as workflow items.
• Verification: Supports signature verification where applicable.

Tips

This tool triggers a workflow when events occur in a WooCommerce store, such as new orders, product updates, or customer registrations. It is ideal for initiating processes based on specific changes within your WooCommerce environment, unlike tools that perform direct actions or retrieve data. The tool produces the full resource object from WooCommerce corresponding to the detected event.
