# Customer Information Relating to Webhooks

Shopify is updating the customer information that is shared in webhooks, and this can potentially affect your MESA workflows. These changes will go into effect on September 23, 2025.

## What's changing?

Shopify will be removing the following customer data fields from certain triggers:

* tags
* email\_marketing\_consent, sms\_marketing\_consent
* last\_order\_id, last\_order\_name, total\_spent, orders\_count

## Triggers that will be affected

The following triggers will be affected by these updates:

* Customer Created
* Customer Deleted
* Customer Disabled
* Customer Enabled
* Customer Updated
* Draft Order Created
* Draft Order Updated
* Order Canceled
* Order Created
* Order Fulfilled
* Order Paid
* Order Partially Fulfilled
* Order Updated

## Updating your workflows

Review your workflows to see if they use any of the fields above. If you find an affected workflow:

1. **Duplicate the workflow first**. This ensures your original workflow stays intact while you update the steps.<br>

2. In the duplicated workflow, update it by adding a **Shopify Retrieve Customer** step after your trigger.

3. **Replace impacted variables** in your workflow with new ones from the Retrieve Customer step or your new trigger.<br>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.getmesa.com/connect/shopify/technical-notes/customer-information-relating-to-webhooks.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
