for the curious

You don’t need to read this. Tiny Command auto-maps every field into the visual picker so downstream nodes can pull values by clicking. We show it here for power users who want to know what’s on the wire.

FAQ

Questions about New Order.

How does the New Order trigger work in WooCommerce?

Fires when a new order is placed in WooCommerce (any status). Used for immediate ops notifications and pre-fulfillment workflows.

Is the New Order trigger real-time?

Yes. New Order uses webhooks or push subscriptions, not polling. Your workflow fires within seconds of the event happening in WooCommerce.

What data does New Order return?

The full event payload from WooCommerce. The output shape table on this page lists every field, its type, and an example value so you can map fields into downstream nodes.

Can I filter New Order so only some events start a workflow?

Yes. Add a Filter node right after the trigger and match on any field, whether that's subject, sender, status, or anything else in the payload. Workflows only continue when the filter passes.

Do I need WooCommerce admin permissions to use New Order?

For most WooCommerce accounts a standard user can authorize the trigger. Some WooCommerce plans require an admin to enable third-party webhooks. Check WooCommerce's docs if the trigger fails to register.
