Shopify Flow

Flow has a very easy-to-use control interface and works well with Sidekick, allowing a few paths for a quick automated management tool.

One complaint is I would like to use Flows, as with all Shopify tools, across multiple storefronts and Shopify's multi-storefront and multi-user tools are extremely poor.

There is little to no thought for large business or enterprise level accounts in any of Shopify's tools.

Can be somewhat convoluted and confusing at first; once you get the hang of it, it can be extremely useful. Plus this app has only gotten better as the devs continue to add new values, actions, and conditions. I use it to add order tags, send internal emails, send customer emails, customer notifications (abandoned cart, abandoned browse), and various other operations that I wish to run in the background automatically. It takes a lot of manual work off my plate and keeps my physical workflow easy and simplified.

I used Sidekick to create two flows to help me manage the influx of bot-generated fraudulent orders in my store. The flows cancel and tag the orders as fraudulent so I don't have to wade through them everyday, saving me time. Sidekick tackled the task quickly. Glad that this flow capability is available.

Some annoying limitations in the ui (e.g. can't insert a new block in between two existing ones-- it branches off the parent block) but very functional overall and solved my problem

Sometimes the AI isn't as intuitive about how to work around a problem - for example, to backfill orders that wont be caught in the new flow it advised me to use an external app when it could have suggested to set up a second flow set up slightly differently.

Es una gran herramienta, solo me gustaría poder editar más fácilmente la selección de las persona a las que va dirigido cada email.

Interesting app to automate a lot of mundane tasks which otherwise were taking us a lot of manual labour. The best part is its straight forward- all you have to do is to mention the tasks in simple language and in 2 steps you are ready to go

It's an extremely powerful tool but also complicated to figure out without sidekick. I strongly recommend using it in conjunction with sidekick. Use plain language prompts to have Sidekick build the flows for you then check them.

Ideal for most in-app automations. But it is odd that there is no baked in "When an order is Order is tagged" trigger.

Could be a bit more simplified. to cater non coder/non developer store owners.
