Shopify Flow

Real mixed bag here. Flow has become an integral part of how we operate our store but my god is it frustrating to use at times. I'm here today writing this review out of frustration at recent depreciations. Flow needs to warn us when things are changing instead of just pushing out updates and letting us find out when we go to create new flows or update old ones. I know there is a five star app here but it needs work to show it. Giving it 4 stars because the app is capable of a lot and I'm glad we have it despite the rough edges.

Difficult to manage, unclear information whether the flows works or not, no saved notifications what flows have been sent out or used.

Update: I will try resetting the notification and hope this resolves the issue. Thank you!

A Must-Have for Streamlining Daily Operations!

The Shopify Flow app is packed with huge features that make daily operations a breeze through powerful automation. When I first started using Shopify, I overlooked the Flow app, assuming it was just for sending automated emails for abandoned checkouts or similar tasks. But as I delved deeper into its capabilities, I realized it's truly a game-changer. It has saved me countless hours by automating workflows I hadn’t even considered initially.

This app is, in my opinion, one of the most underrated tools in Shopify’s ecosystem—many users likely don’t realize how much it can do. With a little creativity, you can unlock its full potential and see how much easier it makes managing your store. I highly recommend taking the time to explore everything Shopify Flow offers—you won’t be disappointed!

When it works, it can be beneficial but it doesn't work often, and the support for this app is useless. When you speak with Shopify support, no one seems to know or understand the app.

I built a flow that should hold fulfillment orders when a product type it added to an order. Sometimes the flow works, and sometimes it says "Hold fulfillment order

Succeeded" but it didn't succeed when you look at the actual order. And no one knows how to help. It's sad because it could be an excellent app!

Exactly what I needed for setting up rules for certain conditions, including fraud, and other conditions. Thank you Shopify!

This flow app works great. If you every think it does not then you need to retrace the flow and see what the issue is. I set up for hiding out of stock items for a certain supplier and noticed it was not acting as expected and the documentation told me where the condition became false. Using this tool I realized it was because I had not tagged those products with the suppliers identity yet. A real duh moment. For current users and new users, keep this in mind because this app is great and works as expected.

Abandoned checkouts doesn't work, I get the error that the customer is not signed up to marketing.. I don't require my customers to sign up for marketing emails, with no option to just send a simple email, this app is pretty much useless for my store.

NIGHTMARE... I very rarely right reviews and negative ones at that. I have never found something that should be so simple a challenge. Shopify staff can't help because we can't speak to them directly. If you want automations for emails and sales, I would spend your time with another program. I have spent to much time on something so simple, with very little success.
