Eliminate Inconsistent Promotions & Wasted Ad Spend with a Serverless Webhook Processor

Are you losing money on ads that point to outdated promotions? Manual updates across Shopify, HubSpot, and Mailchimp create a frustrating experience for customers and a leaky funnel for your business. When your email campaigns don't match your website, you're not just wasting ad spend—you're damaging your brand's reputation and losing sales.

This playbook details a lightweight, powerful solution: the Serverless Webhook Processor. Using tools like AWS Lambda, this system acts as an automated middleman. Whenever you update a promotion in Shopify, a webhook is instantly sent. A serverless function catches this signal, processes the promotional data, and automatically updates both HubSpot and Mailchimp. This ensures your CRM and email campaigns are always in perfect sync with your storefront, eliminating errors and capitalizing on every click. With a low estimated cost and a medium implementation effort (days, not weeks), it's a balanced approach to achieving data consistency.

Expected Outcomes

  • Drastically reduce wasted ad spend by ensuring campaigns always link to accurate product promotions.
  • Increase conversion rates and lower bounce rates with a consistent customer experience from ad to checkout.
  • Boost customer trust and loyalty by eliminating discrepancies between email offers and live site pricing.
  • Save hours of manual work and prevent costly data entry errors.
  • Launch perfectly synchronized, multi-channel marketing campaigns with confidence.

Integration Logic

  • PromoPipe

    This integration is triggered by a Shopify webhook when a new customer is created. A serverless function receives the customer data payload. The function first calls the HubSpot API to search for the customer by email. If the customer does not exist, a new contact is created in HubSpot. If they do exist, their record is updated. Subsequently, the function calls the Mailchimp API to add or update the subscriber in a specific audience, often applying a tag like 'New Customer' to trigger an automated welcome email sequence.
