Send me a mail when a user creates an account.

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

Admin email notification on new customer account creation for an invite‑only Shopify store that requires manual verification.

Current status: Shopify does not natively send notifications when customers create accounts. Merchants need a workaround to alert admins.

Proposed solutions:

  • Zapier automation: Use the Shopify → Email integration to trigger an email whenever a new customer account is created. Zapier is a no‑code workflow tool that connects apps.
  • Email My Webhooks app: Receives Shopify webhooks (event callbacks) and emails you on account creation. Offers a free tier for up to 150 emails per month.

Outcome: No built‑in fix or consensus change from Shopify. The thread surfaces viable third‑party options; the original poster did not confirm which was implemented. Discussion remains open.

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for a way that when an account is created, the admin gets a mail.

I am building an invite only site that when a customer want to purchase something he needs to create an account that needs to be verified.

Thanks in advance!

Shopify doesn’t send out notifications when customers create accounts, but you could set that up with something like Zapier: https://zapier.com/apps/email/integrations/shopify

Try installing Email My Webhooks App: https://apps.shopify.com/email-my-webhooks-1

It sends you an email whenever a customer account is created and its free for the first 150 emails per month.
