How this automation works

Create draft orders in Printful automatically. When Webhooks receives a JSON request for the configured event name, this Applet creates an unconfirmed draft order in Printful using the provided payload. This is useful for connecting custom checkout systems, forms, or backend scripts to Printful so you can programmatically submit orders for review and fulfillment.
