Production events in Shopify Flow
Production status used to live only inside Orderkraft. Now it goes out to Shopify Flow, and Flow talks to everything else you use.
Added
- Five triggers that follow a single manufacturing order: created, started, on hold, cancelled, and completed. Each one carries the customer’s order, so every Flow order action and condition works on it, along with the fulfillment order, sales line, and variant IDs.
- A Fulfillment order manufacturing completed trigger that fires once all the production for a fulfillment order is done. Pair it with split shipments to release a made-to-order shipment the moment it’s built.
- A Sales order manufacturing completed trigger that fires once per order, no matter how many made-to-order items were on it. This is the one for the “your order is ready” email.
- Docs for all of it: Automate with Shopify Flow and the Flow trigger reference.
Changed
- Events are only sent for triggers a live Flow workflow actually uses, and only for made-to-order production. Build-to-stock manufacturing orders stay quiet.
- Failed deliveries retry every hour for up to a year, so a Shopify outage delays a workflow instead of dropping the event.
