How to send email notification in certain language with API Graphql?

Technical Q&A
1

Is there a way to trigger an email for the order in certain language?
I have only found orderInvoiceSend, but it feels like it is not what I am looking for.
I have also tried to do this, but it seems that Admin API is buggy.

You can trigger an email for an order in a specific language using Shopify’s capabilities,
You can try a few approaches you can consider:

1. Shopify Flow

Shopify Flow allows you to create automated workflows based on specific conditions. You can set up a flow to send emails based on the customer’s language preference. Here’s a basic outline:

  • Create a new flow: Go to Shopify Flow and click “Create flow”.

  • Add a trigger: Choose “Order created” as the trigger.

  • Add a condition: Add a condition to check the customer’s language preference.

  • Set up actions: Add actions to send different email templates based on the language condition.

2. Custom App with Admin API

If you need more control, you can create a custom app that uses the Shopify Admin API to send emails in different languages. Here’s a basic approach:

  • Fetch Order Details: Use the Admin API to fetch order details, including the customer’s language preference.

  • Send Email: Use a third-party email service (like SendGrid or Mailchimp) to send the email in the appropriate language.

3. Third-Party Apps

There are third-party apps available on the Shopify App Store that can help you manage multilingual email notifications. Some popular options include:

  • Klaviyo: Allows you to create segmented email campaigns based on customer data, including language preferences.

  • Langify: Helps you manage multilingual content on your store, including email notifications.

4. Manual Customization

If you prefer a more manual approach, you can customize your email templates to include language-specific content. This involves:

  • Creating Multiple Templates: Create different email templates for each language.

  • Conditional Logic: Use conditional logic in your templates to display the appropriate content based on the customer’s language.

I hope that my solution works for you.
