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

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