How Do I Use Shopify Flow?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 2:40 pm

Shopify Flow is a tool that allows merchants to automate tasks and workflows within their Shopify store. It can be used to trigger actions based on certain events, such as when an order is placed or a product is added to a cart. Flow can also be used to send notifications, such as when a customer leaves a review or when inventory is running low.

Shopify Flow can be accessed from the Shopify Admin, under the “Apps” section. To start using Flow, merchants will need to create a “trigger” and an “action.”

PRO TIP: Shopify Flow is a powerful automation tool, but it’s important to use it carefully. If you’re not careful, you can easily create automations that have unintended consequences. Make sure you thoroughly test your automations before you turn them on, and always keep an eye on your shop’s performance after you’ve turned them on.

Triggers are the events that will initiate a workflow, such as when an order is placed or a product is added to a cart. Actions are the tasks that will be carried out automatically, such as sending a notification or updating inventory levels.

Once a trigger and action have been created, they can be connected to form a workflow. For example, a workflow could be created that sends a notification to the merchant whenever an order is placed. Or, a workflow could be created that updates inventory levels automatically whenever a product is added to a cart.

Shopify Flow is a powerful tool that can save merchants time by automating tasks and workflows. By creating triggers and actions, merchants can create custom workflows that fit their unique business needs.
