Shopify Flow Delete Variant-- Include admin user email in HTTP request

Shopify Plus

Topic summary

Including the admin user’s email in an HTTP request triggered by Shopify Flow’s Product Variant Delete automation on Shopify Plus.

Goal: Send a payload to an ERP that contains both the deleted variant ID and the email of the admin who performed the deletion, e.g. {“AdminEmail”: “{{admin.email}}”, “VariantId”: {{productVariantId}}}.

Exchange: A reply proposed a JavaScript array/JSON approach (e.g., let userData = [{{email}}, variantId: {{product.variantID}}]), but this does not align with Shopify Flow’s templating and action structure. The requester pointed out the suggestion isn’t applicable to Flow and asked for an actual Flow-based solution.

Status: No confirmed solution was provided. Key question remains whether Shopify Flow exposes the deleting admin’s email in the Product Variant Delete trigger/context for use in an HTTP request body.

Open items:

  • Is there a Flow variable or context token (e.g., {{admin.email}}) available on variant delete events?
  • If not, what alternative method can reliably capture the acting admin’s email for inclusion in the HTTP request?

Outcome: Discussion unresolved; no action items decided.

Hi, Looks like you need to organize and clean a bit data.

Something like:

let userData= [

{{email}},

variantId:{{product.variantID}}

]

Try this in array table, and unarray it with something like:

let userProfile = json [userData];

console.log (userProfile);

console.log (userProfile[1]);
