Post Purchase Survey Trigger
Read-only: identifies orders 7–14 days post-fulfillment that are eligible for a post-purchase survey campaign, excluding refunded or cancelled orders.
shopify-admin-post-purchase-survey-trigger
Purpose
Builds the recipient list for a post-purchase survey campaign by selecting orders that were fulfilled between survey_min_days and survey_max_days ago, are not refunded, not cancelled, and (optionally) belong to customers who consented to marketing. Output is a clean recipient list ready to load into your email or SMS automation. Read-only — no mutations.
Prerequisites
shopify store auth --store --scopes read_orders,read_customers,read_fulfillments read_orders, read_customers, read_fulfillmentsParameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| store | string | yes | — | Store domain (e.g., mystore.myshopify.com) |
| survey_min_days | integer | no | 7 | Earliest days after fulfillment to survey (give time for delivery + initial use) |
| survey_max_days | integer | no | 14 | Latest days after fulfillment to survey (recall fades after ~2 weeks) |
| marketing_consent_only | bool | no | true | Restrict to customers with marketingState: SUBSCRIBED |
| exclude_repeat_recipients_days | integer | no | 90 | Skip customers who were already on a survey list within this window (caller-tracked) |
| format | string | no | human | Output format: human or json |
Safety
> ℹ️ Read-only skill — no mutations are executed. The skill produces a recipient list; the caller is responsible for actually sending the survey via their own email / SMS platform. Honor marketing_consent_only: true for promotional surveys to stay compliant with consent rules.

Session Tracking
Claude MUST emit the following output at each stage. This is mandatory.
On start, emit:
╔══════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ SKILL: Post-Purchase Survey Trigger ║
║ Store: <store domain> ║
║ Started: <YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM UTC> ║
╚══════════════════════════════════════════════╝
After each step, emit:
[N/TOTAL] <QUERY|MUTATION> <OperationName>
→ Params: <brief summary of key inputs>
→ Result: <count or outcome>
On completion, emit:
For format: human (default):

POST-PURCHASE SURVEY LIST
Window: <survey_min_days>–<survey_max_days> days post-fulfillment
Orders considered: <n>
Refunded (excluded): <n>
Cancelled (excluded): <n>
No consent (excluded): <n>
Guest orders (excluded):<n>
─────────────────────────────
Eligible recipients: <n>
Output: post_purchase_survey_<date>.csv
══════════════════════════════════════════════
For format: json, emit:
{
"skill": "post-purchase-survey-trigger",
"store": "<domain>",
"window_min_days": 7,
"window_max_days": 14,
"orders_considered": 0,
"excluded": { "refunded": 0, "cancelled": 0, "no_consent": 0, "guest": 0 },
"eligible_recipients": 0,
"output_file": "post_purchase_survey_<date>.csv"
}
Output Format
CSV file post_purchase_survey_ with columns:
customer_id, email, name, locale, order_name, order_total, currency, fulfilled_at, delivered_at, days_since_fulfilled
Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Recovery |
|---|---|---|
THROTTLED | API rate limit exceeded | Wait 2 seconds, retry up to 3 times |
| Order with multiple fulfillments | Split shipment | Use earliest createdAt for window calc; surface in CSV as multi_fulfillment: true |
deliveredAt null | Carrier didn't report delivery | Use fulfillments.createdAt as proxy (may slightly under- or over-shoot) |
| Customer with no email | Phone-only profile | Skip — survey campaigns assume email channel |
Best Practices
survey_max_days to 30 — customers form opinions later.customer-cohort-analysis to compare survey-respondent retention vs. non-respondents — engaged respondents are typically your stickiest cohort.
