How do I set up Shopify Flow for an enterprise store?

Treat Flow as a production system, not a sandbox. Each workflow needs a defined trigger, condition, action, and an owner who's accountable when it breaks.

How do I send a Slack alert when an order is flagged as high risk?

Build a Flow workflow triggered on order created, with a condition on risk score, and an action calling Slack via the built-in connector or a custom HTTP action with a webhook URL.

How do I auto-tag VIP customers in Shopify Plus?

Use a Flow workflow triggered on order paid that evaluates customer lifetime value or order count, then applies a 'vip' tag. Use the tag downstream in segmentation, checkout customisations, and email flows.

How do I route B2B orders for approval?

Trigger on order created, check the customer's company / tag, hold the order, notify the account manager via Slack or email, and resume fulfilment only when an admin tag is applied.

Is Shopify Flow available outside Shopify Plus?

Flow is available across plans, but the most powerful triggers, actions, and connectors — including B2B and custom HTTP actions at scale — are tuned for Plus.

Can Flow talk to our internal systems?

Yes — custom HTTP actions let Flow call any HTTPS endpoint. We routinely wire Flow into internal APIs, ERPs, and ticketing systems.

How many workflows can a store have?

Practically, as many as you need. The constraint is operational clarity — we cap most clients at the number of workflows they can document and own.

How long does a Flow setup engagement take?

A focused Flow engagement runs 2–6 weeks. Larger programs combining Flow with new integrations run longer.

Do you offer ongoing Flow maintenance?

Yes. Most clients keep us on a retainer for quarterly reviews — retiring dead workflows, adding new ones, and improving observability.

What it is

About this Shopify Plus service

Shopify Flow is the visual automation engine built into Shopify Plus. It runs in response to platform events (order created, inventory updated, customer tagged) and executes any chain of conditions and actions — tagging, notifications, ticket creation, app integrations, even API calls. Used well, it removes hours of repetitive operational work every week.

Most Plus stores barely scratch its surface. Mejix designs Flow systems the way an engineer designs a production pipeline: with clear triggers, idempotent actions, observability through tags and timeline events, and a written catalogue of every workflow your operations team owns.

Common workflows we ship include low-stock alerts to suppliers, fraud holds with a manual review queue, VIP customer tagging based on lifetime value, B2B order approval routing, post-fulfilment review requests, and chargeback alerts to finance — wired into the apps your team already lives in (Slack, Klaviyo, Zendesk, Notion).

What's included

Concrete deliverables

Every engagement ships a defined scope. No vague promises — these are the artifacts and outcomes you can expect.

Inventory automations

Low-stock alerts, automatic reorders, stock-routing rules across locations, and PO triggers into the ERP.

Fulfilment workflows

Routing logic by SKU, location, or weight; carrier holds for fragile items; auto-tagging of orders needing manual review.

Fraud detection

Hold-and-review flows triggered by risk score, AVS mismatch, or geo / IP heuristics — with finance notifications.

Customer segmentation

Lifetime-value tiering, churn-risk tagging, VIP onboarding, and B2B account approval routing.

Operational alerts

Slack, email, and ticketing integrations so the right person hears about exceptions in real time.

Workflow catalogue

A documented catalogue of every workflow — purpose, owner, trigger, actions, and what to do if it breaks.

How it works

A predictable delivery process

The same sequence we run on every engagement, refined across enterprise Shopify Plus projects.

01

Operations audit

Sit with operations, CX, and finance to map repetitive manual work — what's done every day, every week, every order.
02

Design & prioritise

Diagram the highest-leverage workflows first. Each workflow gets a written trigger, condition, action, and owner.
03

Build & connect apps

Implement in Shopify Flow with connectors to Slack, Klaviyo, Zendesk, Notion, or your ERP — including custom HTTP actions.
04

Observe & refine

Track timeline events and tags to verify each workflow fires correctly, then iterate every quarter on what's still manual.
