COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked
What is the difference between Flow Automator and Shopify Flow?
Shopify Flow is only available on Shopify plan and above ($79/month). Flow Automator works on the Basic plan ($29/month). Flow Automator also supports a wider range of trigger types and action combinations than Shopify Flow, including triggers for customer events and metafield updates that Shopify Flow does not cover on all plan levels.
Do I need any technical or coding knowledge to use Flow Automator?
No — Flow Automator is a visual IF-THEN builder. You select your trigger from a dropdown, add conditions using a simple form interface, and choose an action from a list. No code, no liquid syntax, no webhooks required. If you can set up a Shopify discount code, you can set up a Flow Automator workflow.
What are the most common workflows merchants build?
The most popular automations are: automatically tagging customers after their second purchase (for loyalty segmentation), adding a high-priority internal note to orders above a certain value, sending a post-purchase email 7 days after delivery requesting a review, updating a metafield when an order is fulfilled (for analytics), and removing temporary sale tags from products after a set date.
