How to set up a referral flow with Google Forms and Shopify

Hello - new to Zapier.

Before I begin trying to create this Zap flow, would this work?

  1. A referrer fills a google form in to refer their friend for a course from a shopify website
  2. The referred friend buys said course on the shopify website (could be weeks later)
  3. The referrer then receives a £50 gift card (from shopify website) via email (klaviyo)

TYI

Yes, this can be done. You have most of the outline and the idea already. I think a rough outline of steps would be like this:

  1. Zapier triggers on every shopify purchase
  2. Use the customer’s email address to lookup a row in Google Sheets
  3. If found, the current customer was referred and the original customer’s (the referrer’s) email address is returned in the ‘found’ results.
  4. You will have to add a custom property to the original customer in Klaviyo, which will trigger a Flow in Klaviyo to deliver the gift card. → Or you can trigger the email in Klaviyo via API/webhook

The challenge here, and it’s just because I’m not intimately familiar with Shopify anymore, is attaching the actual gift card or a link to the gift card in the email.
