Changing Customer Language/Locale within Shopify Flow

[Drazdauskas]

Hey Everyone,

I'm trying to change the customer's default language which I believe is set by "customer.locale" based on specific tags which are created on the customer profile.

See screenshot below, this is what I'm looking to change.



This is how I have set the flow up so far:-

Customer Created ---> Check if Tag = "German Language" ----> Action



Now I just need help with the Action part... but I also need to make sure this is even possible.

If anyone can help please let me know

You would need to update the customer locale using Send HTTP Request calling:

Can you maybe dumb your reply down abit - not sure exactly what to do 😅

There's a few prior posts you should consult about how to call an API from Flow. For example:

https://community.shopify.com/c/shopify-flow-app/auto-fulfil-item-with-http-request/m-p/2090245

You'll need to create an custom app with the right scopes to get an API key. They follow the above.

Thanks for the response Paul, really appreciate it

I may need to speak with someone who can help us with this though, as its a little out of my realm

Ever been able to have this to work?

Isn't this something that could be achieved with "Update Customer Field" action?

Please use customers locale variables. It will help you identify and change customer selected language. Please update via shopify API

Thanks
