WEBHOOK for order/create

[Unai]

Hello, I have new using webhooks. I need to do very simple thing: execute a script in rails when a order will be created.

I have an ROR App to make something, this thing execute correctly if I put http://www.mydomain/myapp/myscript but I don't know how can do this automátically when an order will be created in my Shopify store.

I have created a webhook in my shopify admin like this:
 - event: order creation
 - callback url: http://www.mydomain/myapp/webhooks
 - format: JSON

In my app I have created a webhooks controller with:

  def order_create
    data = ActiveSupport::JSON.decode(request.body.read)  

    ...my code...

    head :ok
  end

And in my routes.rb I have:

  root to: 'home#index'

  resources :codes, only: [:index, :create]

  post 'webhooks/orders/create' => 'webhook#order_create'

When I send test notificaion from my shopify admin or make a new order I get in my apache.log:

204.93.213.120 - - [25/Nov/2014:17:11:29 +0100] "POST /myapp/webhooks HTTP/1.1" 404 1014 "-" "Ruby" 3836

I am forgetting something, sure, but I don't know what

Thank you so much.

Hello Unai,

Perhaps some folks from the community can shed some light on this method. In my case I chose a different solution to the same problem.

Webhooks can sometimes time out due to the regular state of the internet and I was hosting on heroku which especially has a tendancy to time out a bit. Rather than deal with the wasted time for a webhook to be retried I directly hook into the Shopify API.

By running a regular job and getting Orders.all I am able to then call the first order (if it exists) and process it, then archive/close the order. Of course it always runs, which probably isn't ideal.

Just taking a quick look at the code, it seems as if you are hitting the wrong endpoint. The code ""POST /myapp/webhooks" isn't set up in a route that I see. Perhaps try a post to webhooks/orders/create unless I'm interpreting the logs incorrectly

Best of luck,

Alex

Thanks for your answer Massaad. I understand you say but I would like to know how to get order/create action first, and then I will work to make more robust system.

I am sure that this question is very easy for a shopify developer. I only need a small example of rails code to get the order/create action with a webhook created through Shopify admin. Or a minimal code to make this throgh API webhook using a private app secret shared.

My new code is:

Routes.rb

Rails.application.routes.draw do
  root to: 'home#index'

  resources :codes, only: [:index, :create]

  post 'codes/create' => 'codes#create'

end

codes_controller.rb

class CodesController < ApplicationController

	def index
	    create
	end

	def create
		data = ActiveSupport::JSON.decode(request.body.read)
		
		@code = Code.new

		range = [*'0'..'9',*'A'..'Z',*'a'..'z']
		begin
			string_codigo_venta = (Array.new(4){ range.sample }.join + ' - ' + Array.new(4){ range.sample }.join + ' - ' + Array.new(4){ range.sample }.join).downcase
		end while Code.exists?(:codigo_venta => string_codigo_venta)

		@code.codigo_venta = string_codigo_venta
		@code.codigo_seguridad = '-'
		@code.order_id = '356897352'
		@code.product_id = '2'
		@code.notified = true
		@code.variant_title = 'a mano'

		if @code.save
			flash[:success] = @code.codigo_venta.to_s
		else
			flash[:danger] = 'cagada'
		end
		
		head :ok
		
		#render 'index'
	end

end

The Callback URL of admin shopify webhook: http://mydomain/cupones/codes/create

Thanks.
