What This Workflow Does
This automation solves the common ecommerce challenge of manually processing new customer signups while ensuring email address validity. When new customer data arrives in your Google Sheet (from web forms, imports, or other sources), the workflow automatically:
1. Validates each email address through Loqate's verification service to confirm deliverability and prevent fake accounts
2. Creates a properly formatted customer record in your Magento 2 store
3. Maintains a clean customer database by only adding verified addresses
How It Works
Step 1: New Row Detection
The workflow monitors your specified Google Sheet for new rows added, triggering whenever customer data is submitted.
Step 2: Email Validation
Each new email address passes through Loqate's verification system, checking for proper formatting, valid domains, and disposable email services.
Step 3: Data Preparation
The workflow maps spreadsheet columns to Magento 2 customer fields, ensuring proper first/last name separation and phone number formatting.
Step 4: Customer Creation
Verified customer records are created in Magento 2 with all specified attributes, ready for immediate shopping or account management.
