Creé un Zap para conectar mi tienda de Shopify con mi base de datos de Cloud Firestore. El proceso es el siguiente:
  1. Se activa una nueva cuenta de cliente en mi tienda de Shopify.
  2. El correo electrónico de inicio de sesión se compara con una colección de Firestore para verificar si pertenece a un usuario existente.
  3. Se crea un nuevo documento para ese usuario en una colección de Cloud Firestore, que contiene la información del cliente de Shopify.
He probado y publicado este Zap sin errores. Sin embargo, solo se activa durante las pruebas en Zapier. En el paso 1 (Cuenta de cliente activada > Probar > Continuar con el registro seleccionado), el Zap se ejecuta correctamente al probarlo con cualquier registro de cliente existente.

I created a Zap to connect my Shopify store with my Cloud Firestore database. The process is as follows:
  1. A new customer account is activated in my Shopify store.
  2. The login email is compared with a Firestore collection to verify if it belongs to an existing user.
  3. A new document is created for that user in a Cloud Firestore collection, containing the Shopify customer information.
I have tested and published this Zap without errors. However, it only triggers during tests in Zapier. In step 1 (Customer account activated > Test > Continue with the selected record), the Zap runs correctly when tested with any existing customer record.

It seems you're experiencing an issue where your Zap for Shopify isn't triggering as expected for new customer accounts outside of testing scenarios. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue: 1. **Check Trigger Setup**: Ensure that the trigger for your Zap is correctly set up to activate on new customer accounts in Shopify. Double-check the trigger event and make sure it is set to "New Customer" or equivalent, depending on the specific options available in Zapier for Shopify. 2. **Review Shopify Permissions**: Make sure that your Shopify account permissions are correctly set up to allow Zapier to access customer data. If there are restrictions or insufficient permissions, the Zap may not trigger as expected. 3. **Test with Live Data**: Sometimes, Zaps work differently in testing versus live environments. Try creating a new customer account in Shopify (not just using test data) to see if the Zap triggers. Make sure you are using a different email address than those used in testing. 4. **Zapier Logs**: Check the Zapier task history and logs to see if there are any errors or if the Zap is being triggered but failing at a certain step. This can provide insights into where the process might be breaking down. 5. **Webhook Setup**: If your Zap uses webhooks, verify that the webhook URL and settings are correct. Misconfigured webhooks can prevent the Zap from being triggered. 6. **Cloud Firestore Configuration**: Ensure that your Firestore configuration is correct and that it allows the necessary data flow for the Zap to function properly.

It seems like you're facing an issue where your Zap for creating new customer accounts in Shopify is not triggering as expected outside of Zapier testing. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this issue: 1. **Check the Trigger Setup**: Ensure that the trigger for your Zap is set up correctly. The trigger should be specifically set to activate when a new customer account is created in Shopify. Double-check that there are no additional filters or conditions that might be preventing the trigger from firing. 2. **Verify Shopify Permissions**: Make sure that Zapier has the necessary permissions to access your Shopify store. Sometimes, limited permissions can prevent certain actions from being recognized by Zapier. 3. **Test with a New Customer Account**: Instead of using existing customer data for testing, try creating a completely new customer account in your Shopify store to see if the Zap triggers. This can help identify if the issue is related to how the data is being recorded or recognized by Zapier. 4. **Review Zap History**: Check the Zap history in your Zapier dashboard for any error messages or logs that might provide insight into why the Zap is not triggering. This can offer clues on where the process might be failing. 5. **Ensure Firestore Integration**: Confirm that the integration with Cloud Firestore is correctly set up and that there are no issues with network connectivity or authentication that might prevent the data from being sent to Firestore. 6. **Update and Re-test**: If there are any updates available for your Zap or its components, apply them and re-test the process to see if the issue is resolved.
