# Send customer payloads to Shopify Flow

The Shopwaive Development team has released a powerful new advanced tool for customer profiles. Customer service teams, brand developers, and web development teams can use Shopwaive's new <mark style="color:blue;">**Send HTTP POST payload**</mark> tool on any customer profile page from within the Shopwaive app. Just setup an automation in Shopify Flow, and then trigger it from the customer's profile page. This feature is meant to mimic an API request to the Shopify Flow environment. Instead of setting up an HTTPS request on your own servers, you simply define your payload body and click <mark style="color:blue;">**Send payload**</mark> to send data inputs to your Shopify Flow automation. Then use Shopify Flow's <mark style="color:blue;">**Conditional blocks**</mark> to design logic and route the automation based on the inputs you sent. All this is made possible using Shopwaive's HTTP POST trigger, which receives the payload you send from the customer's profile page. Simply create any Flow using Shopwaive's <mark style="color:blue;">**HTTP POST trigger**</mark> and any payload you send will be sent to this Flow for processing.

This feature allows you to send discount or gift codes, make changes to Customer metafields, tag customers or orders, and perform any action from 1,000s of app actions available from the Shopify Flow environment. What's even more? Save your favorite automation payloads to send to your Shopify Flow to create quick actions that customer support teams can use to conveniently and efficiently service customers from their profile page in the Shopwaive app.&#x20;

In this example, you can send a gift code by email to the customer if you use Shopwaive's <mark style="color:blue;">**Create gift code**</mark> action after Shopwaive's <mark style="color:blue;">**HTTP POST**</mark> trigger. In the <mark style="color:blue;">**Create gift code**</mark> action, you can display the customer's gift code in the email body using. You can use HTML markup to style the gift code, for example use the following to display the code in bold by copy and pasting it into the **Email Message body** inside the <mark style="color:blue;">**Create gift code**</mark> action

```
Congrats! Here is your gift code

<span style='font-weight:'bold'>{giftcardcode}</span>
```

Choose from any of Shopwaive's <mark style="color:blue;">**HTTP POST**</mark> trigger fields and data types listed below to send in the payload.  Choose fields that match your required data type needed in the Shopify Flow environment. `string`, `decimal`, and `boolean` data types are supported. For example, you may choose to use the generic <mark style="color:blue;">**`enabled`**</mark> key to send a type `boolean` to Shopify Flow for downstream processing of your logic. While the values of each key can be any you choose, the schema is strictly enforced and use of only the keys in the payload object below will result in successful delivery to your Shopify Flow environment.&#x20;
