Shopify Flow Automations

Shopify Flow is Shopify's own automation tool: it makes your store do something automatically when an event happens, such as posting to Slack, emailing your team or adding a tag, without any code. Flow is a free app from Shopify; install it from the Shopify App Store if you don't have it yet.

Order Limits adds two triggers to Flow. There is nothing to switch on: they ship with the app, and Settings > Integrations has a button that opens Flow.

Triggers

• Order limit rule started — Runs when an active rule with a start date reaches its start time and its limits begin to apply. It carries Rule name and Rule type (product, collection or cart). A customer-tag rule that your plan pauses doesn't start the workflow.
• Order limit rule ended — Runs when an active rule with an end date reaches its end time and its limits stop applying. It carries Rule name and Rule type.

Each runs once per rule and date. If you move a rule's start or end date, the new date runs the workflow again. Rules without dates, and Draft rules, never start a workflow.

Example

Trigger Order limit rule started, then a Slack or email action with the message {{ ruleName }} is now live on the store so your team knows the holiday limits are on.
