Customer deleted

The Customer deleted trigger starts a workflow when a user in your organization or a third-party app deletes a customer profile from the Shopify admin.

Note

Customer profiles with an order history can't be deleted, but they can be disabled.

To create workflows that run when a customer account is disabled, use the Customer account disabled trigger instead.

Testing the Customer deleted trigger

To test a workflow that starts with this trigger, delete a customer profile.

Note

Deleted customer profiles can’t be restored. Create a test customer profile instead of deleting a real customer profile.

API details

The Customer deleted trigger allows actions to be taken with the Customer Graphql API object.

Deleted objects are not available in the API. The customer ID is the only detail you can get when a customer profile is deleted. Other details are not available.
