Workflow
How it fits into a Nexus workflow
Shopify steps run as pre-built actions. A run that uses them starts from a webhook, a schedule, a request in Nexus or another system's trigger source.
A trigger source starts work. A connector action performs work. Both run inside the same governed execution.
Beyond pre-built actions
When the pre-built action is not enough
Move down one step: an API, protocol or database call, then custom logic in Python, Bash, Go, Java, .NET, PHP, PowerShell or JavaScript/TypeScript with any library. Every step uses the same secrets, approvals, history and audit.
01
Call the Shopify API with the HTTP Request node, or use GraphQL, SOAP or a database node where the system exposes one.
02
Write custom integration logic in Python, Bash, Go, Java, .NET, PHP, PowerShell or JavaScript/TypeScript, with the libraries your team already uses.
03
Direct calls and code use the same vault-backed secrets, approvals, run history and audit as pre-built actions.
Examples
Workflow examples
Order to ERP invoice
A Shopify order is validated and invoiced in NetSuite or Odoo.
Inventory consistency
Inventory is compared with ERP items and differences go to review.
Discount exceptions
Orders with discounts outside policy pause for finance.
Deployment, trust and audit
Governance, audit and deployment
Deployment
Nexus runs on-premises, in private or sovereign cloud, or air-gapped. The step needs network reach to the system it calls, and nothing else changes.
Secrets and identity
Credentials are referenced through vault-backed secret handling and role-based access, never embedded in workflow logic.
Audit
Inputs, outputs, approvals and outcomes are written to the execution history for every run.
Integration patterns
