OpenAI Chat Model : Summarize order history

Watch out for

Shopify API rate limits are strict so you must implement exponential backoff in your HTTP request node to avoid being temporarily blocked during high traffic.
The customer ID might be null for guest checkouts so add a conditional branch to skip the history fetch and alert if no customer record exists.
Large order histories can exceed token limits so truncate the response or paginate carefully before sending data to the OpenAI model to prevent errors.
Slack message formatting breaks with special characters so sanitize the AI summary text by removing unescaped HTML tags before posting to the channel.
