WooCommerce Fraud Detection & Slack Alert Workflow
WooCommerce Fraud Detection & Slack Alert Workflow This workflow automatically monitors WooCommerce orders, evaluates them for fraud using multiple checks (address mismatch, high-value orders, suspicious emails, admin orders), calculates a fraud score and sends alerts to Slack when risk is detected. Quick Implementation Steps Import the workflow JSON into n8n Configure WooCommerce API credentials Set up Slack API credentials and channel Adjust fraud rules (amount threshold, email regex, etc.) Test with sample order data Activate the workflow What It Does This workflow automates fraud detection for WooCommerce orders by applying multiple validation checks and assigning a fraud score. It starts with scheduled execution, fetches order data and prepares it for evaluation by extracting key details such as billing information, order value and customer email. Once the data is prepared, the workflow applies a series of fraud detection rules. These include checking whether billing and shipping details mismatch, identifying high-value orders, detecting suspicious or disposable email addresses and verifying if the order was created by an admin. Each condition contributes to a fraud score based on predefined logic. Finally, all signals are merged and a fraud score is calculated. If the score crosses the defined threshold, a detailed alert is sent to a Slack channel with complete order and risk information, enabling quick manual review and action.
