Connect WooCommerce, pick your AI tool and paste the prompt.
The problem
A quick address change that goes wrong
Updating a WooCommerce customer's address or phone sounds quick, but country and state codes must be right, the login email cannot change the same way and a billing email may belong to someone else. It is easy to tidy a field nobody asked you to change.
Without PopdockAI
- Find the customer in the admin
- Work out the right country and state codes
- Check the billing email is not in use
- Change a field nobody asked about
With PopdockAI
- The customer is found, with close matches listed if needed
- Country names become two-letter codes and state codes are expected
- Billing email conflicts are flagged
- Only requested fields change after you confirm, and are read back
The prompt
Use this prompt
Copy it into any AI tool connected to PopdockAI. Swap the values in braces for your own.
**Objective:** Apply the change `{changes}` to the WooCommerce customer with email `{customer-email}`.
**Step 1: Find the customer**
Call `woocommerce-get-customer` with `email` = `{customer-email}`. If nothing matches, call it with `email.contains` using the part before the @, list any close matches and stop. Keep `customer-id` and the current name and billing details.
**Step 2: Work out the change**
Map `{changes}` to the fields `woocommerce-update-customer` accepts: `first-name`, `last-name`, `company`, `address`, `city`, `state`, `postcode`, `country`, `phone`, `billing-email`.
* The login email cannot be changed with this tool; only `billing-email`. If that is what is asked, say so.
* `country` must be a two-letter ISO code (US, GB). Convert a country name and show the code.
* `state` should be a code where the country uses them (CA, NY).
* A new `billing-email` that belongs to another customer: check with `woocommerce-get-customer` (`email`) and warn if it does.
**Step 3: Confirm**
Show a before and after table for the changed fields only. Say that existing orders keep the address they were placed with; only future orders use the new details. Wait for an explicit yes.
**Step 4: Update and verify**
Call `woocommerce-update-customer` once with `customer-id` and only the changed fields. Then call `woocommerce-get-customer` with `customer-id` and report the stored values.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* The only write tool this prompt may call is `woocommerce-update-customer`, once.
* Do not call any other write tool (`woocommerce-add-order`, `woocommerce-update-order`, `woocommerce-add-order-note`, `woocommerce-send-order-details`, `woocommerce-add-refund`, `woocommerce-add-customer`, `woocommerce-add-product`, `woocommerce-update-product`, `woocommerce-update-product-variation`, `woocommerce-add-coupon`, `woocommerce-update-coupon`). Never create a customer when none is found.
* Never pass a field the user did not ask to change, even to "tidy" it.
**Validation:**
* If `{changes}` is empty or unclear, ask what to change and stop.
* If the user's confirmation is anything other than a clear yes, stop without writing.Who it's for

Customer support agents
Update details while the customer waits
Change an address or phone in one message, with codes converted correctly.

Know what happens to past orders
