Enterprise use case · Shopify + Zendesk + Jira + NetSuite
Customer order exception handling
Order problems bounce between support, engineering and finance, and the customer hears nothing. An order problem moves from support to engineering and ERP with the customer kept informed.
Systems involved
What each system contributes
Architecture
One governed run
How it starts: A Jira change continues the run. Zendesk and Shopify have no trigger source, so a webhook or poll starts it.
Step by step
How the process runs
- 01
Order problem
Shopify order and customer details are read for the reported order.
- 02
Support ticket
A Zendesk ticket is created or updated with the order context.
- 03
Engineering
If the cause is technical, a Jira issue is opened and linked.
- 04
ERP action
Approved credits or corrections are recorded with NetSuite Base, Invoices and Items.
- 05
Customer update
The Zendesk ticket is updated when the issue changes state.
Control
Human decision and exception path
Human decision
Finance approves any credit or invoice correction before NetSuite changes.
Exception path
- Orders not found route back to support.
- Jira transitions out of policy are held.
- Write failures are retried.
Evidence
What gets audited
- Order context.
- Ticket and issue links.
- Approval.
- NetSuite reference and customer update.
Nexus runs on premises, in private or sovereign cloud, or air-gapped. Credentials stay in the vault, roles decide who can approve, and the execution record stays inside your deployment boundary.

FAQ
Questions about this use case
- Does Nexus replace any of these systems?
- No. Each system keeps its own records. Nexus runs the process between them and records each decision.
- How does the run start?
- A Jira change continues the run. Zendesk and Shopify have no trigger source, so a webhook or poll starts it.
- What if a step is not covered by a pre-built action?
- Shopify actions cover these areas without full create, update and delete for every object. Other Shopify operations use the Shopify API or Rules + Code.
