# Shopify Flow triggers A manufacturing order starting, going on hold, or completing are all real moments worth automating around: notifying a team, updating an external system, sending a customer a heads-up. Orderkraft publishes those transitions as Shopify Flow triggers, so automation is something you build in Flow directly rather than something that needs custom code or a webhook you maintain yourself. Subscribe to the events you actually care about. The rest keep firing quietly in the background for anyone who does. ## Questions **What triggers a Flow event?** Manufacturing order lifecycle changes, like starting, being put on hold, or completing, the same transitions that show up on the order page. **Do I have to react to every event this fires?** No. Subscribe to the specific transitions you actually want to build automation around, usually completion and holds, and ignore the rest.
