This video covers how to create automations using Shopify Flow.
At a high level, Flow is a low-code automation platform, that lets build custom workflows and automate tasks right in the admin dashboard. We're starting the video by exploring the different components of Shopify Flow, which can be divided into triggers, conditions, and actions. Combining these different components allows for building a variety of different solutions across a Store. From simple operations to multi-step workflows that connect with your apps, Flow gives you the flexibility to automate repetitive tasks, so you can focus on your business.

Great work Jan! I’ve started implementing your hand gestures when explaining code at work. I think they work like a charm 🤣🙏

[@CodingWithJan]

Have to use all information channels haha 😁

[@tkulpwriter]

Another great video Jan! I do a lot of work in Power Automate and Zapier for workflows like this. Your explanation is simple, direct, useful, and excellent. Thanks!

[@haseebasif100]

Good effort, thanks alot! im lucky to be using the flow app when you launched the video.

[@brandon_shopify_expert]

Great vid Jan!

[@liamgriffin6897]

Awesome video Jan! Great example use-case for the Run Code flow action!

[@CodingWithJan]

Thanks so much, Liam!! :-)

[@SimJoSt]

I was just searching to see if there is something which combines flow and purchase orders and came acress you video 😊

[@user-bm2px4jd7m]

Top Video Jan!!!

[@Ddtmovie]

Real great job ❤

[@celebGPT]

Great video

[@adeisaac]

So cool, I have fiddled with this flow app, but some areas missing, hey Jan, quick thought, could you do something on customer metafield in a form. Thanks for all the good stuff.

[@MK-Tech]

Thanks. It’s so frustrating that Flow don’t have a test run feature …

[@CodingWithJan]

That's one of the features I wished for too! Especially for the run-code block and building queries. Will make sure to forward this! :-)

[@Johnny4200]

Nice and helpful as always 🔥

[@CodingWithJan]

Jetzt wid komplett automatisiert 😄

[@ChunkySteveo]

The Run Code is a HUGE jump forward for the flow app! ❤

[@CodingWithJan]

Agree! :-) Next Milestone, is a testing environment if you ask me. Cheers

[@ChunkySteveo]

@CodingWithJan i want them to line up the 'frontend liquid' methods to be used in flows too - like formatting emails and order notes much like you can within a theme template. There are too many 'flows can't do that' getting in my way. You can't use | metafield_tag filter, for example.

[@OttosenProp]

Hey Jan, great video! I talked with Shopify the other day if they have any Flow coders and they didnt have anyone. Do you have any developers through your coding school that have good experience with flow for hire?

[@user-rx8ob7ob2v]

Awesome video as always! How do we find the variants?? like SKU variant, product name, notes, customer full name (not first and last name). Thanks

[@CodingWithJan]

Thanks for the positve feedback! :-) Also great questions, the answer is just a little too long for a single YT comment. The fastest I could to here is help you get in touch with a developer if that's also interesting. www.codingwithjan.com/hire-a-developer

[@ReinaDiazColeccion]

Hi, a question: In the define inputs area, I wrote exactly as you wrote the code in the video: { order { customer { orders { displayFinancialStatus } } } }, but I get an error with a red circle in line 2, before { order, the word "order" appears underlined in red. the wizard gives me the suggestion to change it to "getOrderData [Order!]!, If I leave it as "order" I get an error message: "Field 'order' doesn't exist on type 'Query'" and it doesn't let me apply the changes

[@repent8or8perish]

Brutal gut 👍👍

[@CodingWithJan]

[@velocitysavage]

I am trying to place these values ​​in variables to be able to customize a dynamic WhatsApp url, I am using the "Runcode" action of Shopify Flows doing something like var order_total = "{{order_total}}"; How should it be done?

[@mobisparehub7598]

Hello Sir, your video is very helpful for me. Please help us with a question.......... I have added size variants in my product, but I want to show different title or description to customer for each size. Like the image and price change to select someone. I am waiting for your reply.

[@healthtips246]

Sir, could you please explain how to create a discount - 3 products for $99? I can't seem to find that option in the discount settings.

isso é de mais para mim, eu so quero criar uma loja e vender

[@P.OlanipekunNYC]

Hello how will I set-up the slack?

[@CodingWithJan]

Your clients will likely already have a slack workspace or some other internal communication tool. You can ask them to invite you

[@healthtips246]

I'd like to inquire about determining the optimal sizes for banners, product images, and other graphics. On my laptop, when using the inspect tool, I'm seeing dimensions like 1900x720, but they vary on desktop and other devices. This inconsistency is posing challenges for our designer, who's finding it difficult to create images for multiple sizes. How can we address this effectively?

[@julianpaus9517]

Hi Jan, danke dir! Mega Video. Bekomme den Fehler "Run Code: TypeError: cannot read property 'orders' of null. Was tun um das zu beheben? Hat es was mit dem Kunden in der Shopify Bestellung zu tun? Habe die Bestellung im Admin angelegt, da der Shop noch nicht ganz konfiguriert ist.

[@CodingWithJan]

Hi Julian, besten Dank! :-) Was du da siehst in ein Javascript Fehler. Aktuell sind die noch etwas schwierig zu debuggen. Der Fehler oben passiert zum Beispiel, wenn du versuchst auf etwas zuzugreifen, was nicht existiert. zum Beispiel meineVariable = data.orders; Aber sagen wir es gibt "data" garnicht. Oder Data hat keinen Wert (null). Dann gibts auch nicht data.orders. --> TypeError: cannot read property 'orders' of null. Du könntest dein Script mal zusammen mit dem Fehler bei ChatGTP rein kopieren und sagen "try to fix this / or add a check to prevent my code from crashing"

[@julianpaus9517]
