Shopify Flow

Great - could be easier to use with common ready to use flows presetup, and natural language rules not liquid variables - but overall its helpfull

Flow has gotten incredibly useful and flexible, to the point of handling a lot of the actions you would normally do in a middleware. The other day we implemented a first_published_date to have a source of truth on which products came first, and it was doable entirely in Flow. Excited to see what comes next.

I need a FLOW that can tag MULTIPLE open/unfulfilled/partially fulfilled/not cancelled orders by the same customer - basically multiple un-shipped orders so I can easily ID them. Shopify AI and ChatGPT have not been able to successfully suggest a method. Seems absolutely ridiculous this isn't a template - TO SAVE SELLER AND BUYER MONEY!

L'application est relativement facile d'utilisation, mais j'aimerais avoir accès à un tutoriel ou un guide de ressources pour mieux comprendre la définition des différents éléments.

It's great when it works but we seem to run into issues every few months with something not working correctly even though we have changed nothing to our flow. I do not know if this is due to updates or what but it is getting exhausting.

the concept is genius, but understanding how the pieces fit together and the selection of the data elements and loops that are needed for each is beyond a normal user. We're techy, but we have had 10 runs at it and finally gave up.

Pas super user friendly et pourrai être simplifié selon moi...
Les traductions ne sont pas géniales et il faut faire beaucoup (trop?!) d'essais-erreur...

Mais quand le flux est bien construit, c'est vraiment un outil génial!

Flow is awesome, but does have some maddening limitations. For example:

You can use variables in certain email address fields, and you can use fully custom liquid in certain email content fields, but you can't do both in any action. :/

Advanced logical conditions are difficult: "IF (this AND this] OR this". An action can have multiple outputs (yay) but can't be triggered by multiple separate events.

The "run code" action is hamstrung. If I recall correctly it can't send an email.

Context, variables and email templates don't transfer seamlessly from one scenario to another. If you change your trigger from "Fulfillment Ready" to "Order Paid" the entire flow is broken.

It's also frustrating that we should even need Flow for certain things that should be native functionality, like auto-capturing payments EXCEPT when fraud risk is high, or triggering a custom message to a dynamic email address. BUT it is great to have, and keeps getting better. I've upgraded my rating because (and I'm learning how to use it better).

not enough triggers. need trigger for product updated or variant updated

Het werkt goed en soepel, en je hebt ook veel opties die je kunt gebruiken. Ik ben er tot nu toe - na 4 maanden gebruik nog steeds erg tevreden mee.
