Work orders in Shopify Flow

Flow could already tell you when a manufacturing order started or finished. It couldn’t tell you where in production an item was. If you wanted a Slack message when an order reached engraving, you were out of luck.

Added

• A Work order started trigger and a Work order completed trigger. They fire for every step from your manufacturing plans, on made-to-order production.
• Each trigger carries the customer’s order, the work order, its manufacturing order with every other step on it, and the line item being made. Workflows can check what’s still left to do, or which product is being made, without leaving Flow.
• Every work order has a handle based on its name, so “Hotshop: Soldering” becomes hotshop-soldering. Use it in conditions to react to one step and ignore the rest.
• Docs: the Flow trigger reference covers both triggers and every field they send.
