Order imports have never emailed your customers unless you asked for it: Send Receipt defaults to FALSE, and exported files keep it that way. This update adds more safeguards, so a stray TRUE in a migration file can’t send confirmation emails by accident.
What’s New#
- Customer email warning - file analysis flags a
Send Receiptcolumn set toTRUEand tells you how many rows would email customers (see ALYS038). - All four email columns - covers
Send Receipt,Cancel: Send Receipt,Fulfillment: Send Receipt, andRefund: Send Receipt, one warning per column. - AI assistant confirmation - the MCP connector won’t start an orders import that would email customers until you confirm in the chat.
Improvements#
- Shop app guidance - the order fields reference explains Shop app notifications and how to ask Shopify to pause them before a migration (see Customer notifications).
