Clone events

Send one Shopify event as multiple destination events.

Cloning lets one Shopify event produce two destination events.

Littledata sends the original event and an extra modified copy.

When to use clones

• Send a standard purchase event and a recurring_order event.

• Create a second event with a different destination name.

• Produce two different payload shapes from one Shopify event.

How cloning works

1

Send the original event

Littledata keeps the original event unchanged.

2

Create a copy

Littledata creates a second event and applies your custom mappings.

3

Deliver both events

Littledata sends the original event and the cloned event to the destination.

Clones run after filter and modify customisations. If a filter matches, no clone is produced.

Create a clone

1

Open the destination Events tab

Go to Settings for the integration you want to update.

Then open Events.

2

Open an event

Click the event you want to clone.

3

Choose Clone

Select Clone as the customisation type.

4

Add trigger conditions

Use trigger conditions to control when the clone runs.

5

Configure field mappings

Set the field mappings for the cloned event.

6

Save the clone

Click Save to activate it.

Example: Subscription order as a separate event

Field	Value
Event	order_created
Destination	Google Analytics 4
Type	Clone
Condition	app.name is Recharge Subscriptions

Mappings on the clone

Source	Destination
recurring_order (static value)	events[0].name
locationId	events[0].params.location_id

With this setup, all order_created events are sent to GA4 as normal. When the order comes from Recharge, an additional recurring_order event is also sent.

Setting a static event name

1

Choose Static value

Leave the source dropdown set to Static value.

2

Enter the event name

Type the event name you want, such as recurring_order.

3

Set the destination field

Use events[0].name as the destination.
