Claude AI, n8n and Shopify Integration Specialist | Ecommerce Workflow, API and Store Automation

I build Shopify automation for ecommerce teams that need store information to move between their tools without repeated manual updates. I use n8n to run workflows, connect Shopify with business apps and route tasks to Claude when they need content drafting, classification or a useful summary. My work starts with the store’s existing process. I identify the event that should start each workflow, the Shopify data it needs, the action another tool should take and the point where a person should review the result. This can cover order notifications, product data updates, inventory alerts, customer support triage and content preparation. For n8n Shopify integration, I work with Shopify triggers, webhooks, the Shopify Admin API and API connections to other tools. I map fields between systems, check authentication and permissions, and add error handling so the team can see when a step fails or needs attention. Where a standard n8n node does not support an action, I use an API request or custom logic suited to the store’s setup. I use Claude through the Anthropic API for defined tasks within a workflow, such as preparing a product description draft from approved product data or summarizing a support request for review. Claude Code helps me develop and test custom integration logic. I use CLAUDE.md and Claude Skills to organize repeatable development procedures; they are separate from the instructions sent to Claude through an n8n workflow. Before handover, I test the workflow with realistic store data, missing fields and failed connections. I document the triggers, data mappings, Claude instructions, approval steps and settings the store owner or team will need to maintain.

I design Claude content automation for teams that publish regularly but lose time between idea, draft, review and scheduling. I map how content moves through the team, then build a repeatable workflow around its source material, brand rules and approval steps. I start with the audience, existing content, channels, publishing cadence and who approves each asset. I structure content calendars and checks against recent posts so new plans do not repeat the same topics. Custom Claude Skills and reusable instructions support research, idea selection, briefs, captions, scripts, blog outlines and product content. Each task has required inputs, an output format, brand voice rules, source checks and a way to flag uncertain claims. For social media content automation, I design workflows that adapt an approved idea to each platform. Where the tools support it, I connect Claude Cowork or Claude Code with spreadsheets, asset folders, design tools and schedulers through MCP, APIs or workflow automation. Drafts pass through human review before they are queued for publishing, with their status visible to the team. I design feedback steps to review published content, identify repeated themes and use performance data when planning the next cycle. I test how the workflow handles missing assets, duplicate ideas, inaccurate product details and skipped approvals. Handover covers the Claude Skills, content rules, integrations, review process and how the team can update the workflow.

I develop custom Claude Skills and workflows for teams that need Claude to follow a defined process, use the right information and return work in a consistent format. I start by mapping the task, its inputs, decision rules, expected output and points where a person needs to review or approve an action. For Claude skill development, I turn existing SOPs, prompts and process notes into focused SKILL.md packages. I write clear names and descriptions so Claude can select the right Skill, add instructions and examples, and include reference files or scripts when the task needs them. I test normal requests, missing inputs and requests that fall outside the Skill's purpose. I configure Claude Code workflows with CLAUDE.md, project context, Skills, commands, hooks and subagents where they support the process. I set permissions and review points, then connect approved files and business tools through MCP server integrations or APIs. When an existing connection cannot do the required job, I scope a custom MCP server separately. For Claude Cowork, I structure recurring research, document and content workflows around files, connectors and human review. This gives a team a repeatable way to run the task without rewriting instructions each time. I also troubleshoot workflows when Claude uses the wrong context, misses a step or calls the wrong tool. Before handover, I check whether each Skill activates when expected, produces usable output, handles incomplete information and respects access limits. I provide the Skill files, workflow instructions and maintenance notes, then explain how to run and update the setup.
