Hi, according to some other posts , it might be possible to update customer language (aka “locale”). Issue comes from the fact when a customer is imported, the notifications are sent in English. Not possible to specify “locale”. Someone suggested to use Shopify Flow and Send HTTP Request. I did try…

OK, I tested this in Flow and confirmed that it works. One nuance that I forgot…because Flow uses Liquid you cannot use {{ or }} anywhere or Flow will interpret it as liquid (solved by adding a space in between). {"query":"mutation customerUpdate($input: CustomerInput!) {\n customerUpdate(input: $i…

If you post more detail about your Send HTTP Request that would help.

I tried tons of things, but latest: {"query": "mutation { customerUpdate(input: {locale: \"{{customer.locale}}\", locale: \"fr\"}) { customer { locale } }"}

In fact, I’m not even sure it’s possible. Initially, I tried the following (see below) and tried Shopify examples, but nothing works. { "query": "mutation customerUpdate($input: CustomerInput!) { customerUpdate(input: $input) customer { id locale } } }", "variables": { "input": { …

I tested in postman…this is a working example. You are missing at least one bracket (after customerUpdate). {"query":"mutation updateLocale($input: CustomerInput!) {\n customerUpdate(input: $input) {\n userErrors {\n field\n message\n }\n customer {\n …

Thanks. However, nothing is getting updated. At some points, I think it’s just not possibe.

Hello, thanks. Body looks great. I have proper settings, but still no luck. Locale is just not updating. The flow is as follow: Start when: Customer tags added Check if: tag is equal to “something” Do this: Sent HTTP request In App Development, appropriate Admin API access scopes are added.

Are you sure the action is getting called? Can you show a workflow run where it didn’t work?

You mean something like this: Status: Succeeded Action: 1 succeeded: Send HTTP request [flowsuccess.png]

Ok, that looks fine. Are you sure it’s not working. The way I can tell is by this little bit of text in the Admin: [29-29-kttsb-41o0r.png]

We are you setting the locale twice? You are also missing the customer id.

I’m also not sure that is the right syntax for a mutation. Have you tried it in something like Postman?
