Shopify is an e-commerce platform with Shopify Flow for automating store events. A workflow consists of a trigger, conditions, and actions within the store and connected apps.

Overview
Flow can reduce manual handling of recurring events such as sorting orders and operational follow-up. It is especially useful when the starting point and information are already in the store. Before building a workflow, decide what should happen to an unusual order and what to do if an external app is unavailable, so the workflow does not hide tasks that were not completed.
Features
- A workflow builder based on store events
- Conditions that distinguish between different orders and situations
- Actions in Shopify and supported apps
Business uses
- Flag orders with an operational attribute for separate handling
- Trigger follow-up after an order status changes
Getting started
- Install Flow in a test store or start with a workflow that has no financial impact
- Choose one event and a condition that limits the workflow to relevant cases
- Run sample orders and also test a path where the condition is not met
What to check
- The Send HTTP Request action depends on the store plan; check eligibility in advance
- Check the plan's API limits and behavior under load
