Shopify Order Fulfillment Automation

# Automate Shopify order fulfillment with time-based filtering and customer notifications

This workflow automates the routine process of handling unfulfilled orders in Shopify—especially useful for businesses selling digital products or relying on external fulfillment services. The automation runs on schedule or manually, processes orders older than 24 hours, and marks them as fulfilled with customer notification.

- Online businesses sending order data to external warehouses or production teams.
- Entrepreneurs aiming to reduce manual post-sale operations.
- Administrators who manually check order statuses daily and want to switch to full automation.

## What the automation does
- Retrieves all unfulfilled orders from Shopify via Admin API.
- Filters orders by age — only those older than 24 hours.
