Hello Zapier Community.

I am creating a Zap that updates Shopify inventory quantity from a Google Sheet. When building the Zap I noticed that it makes me create an extra step to search for products, but the only variant to search is product title. I can not use product title because my ERP system does not have my Shopify product titles stored.

 

I need help with: 

I would like to run the search using my product or variant SKU. Is this possible?

 

Thanks!

 

Hi @Victaka 

You may have to explore another approach of leveraging the Shopify API: https://shopify.dev/docs/admin-api/rest/reference

This can be leveraged via a Code or Webhooks step.

Hi @Troy Tessalone 

 

Thanks for your response. But since this is a new project with low funds and just testing the true order volume, I am looking fr ways to avoid Shopify API or webhook integrations Therefore I thought that Zapier was a good solution. But I need to find a way to use the product ID or SKU as the reference value and not the product title.

 

Ideas?

@Victaka

Try using a lookup table as a Zap step to convert the SKU or Product ID to the Product Title.

If you only have a few items to lookup, then try the Formatter > Utilities > Lookup Table option: https://zapier.com/help/doc/how-use-formatter-functions#using-the-lookup-table

Otherwise, a GSheet (via Lookup Row search) or Airtable (via Find Record search) would be better suited to use to manage your data sets.

 

 

@Troy Tessalone 

 

I tried the lookup table through Zapier but building the table is too manual and therefore only useful for few products. I have around 3,000 so building this lookup table is unthinkable.

 

Can you please give me more details on the other options you mention: GSheet (via Lookup Row search) or Airtable (via Find Record search).

 

Thanks

@Victaka 

GSheets and Airtable would use the same concept as the Formatter > Utilities > Lookup Table, except in a more friendly way to manage larger data sets.

 

Check out the available triggers/actions/searches for these apps...

Airtable: https://zapier.com/apps/airtable/integrations#triggers-and-actions

 

TIP: When in doubt, test it out!

Hey @Victaka, I just wanted to check in here, hope you’re doing well!
