Add a timeline comment using Flow when a particular tag is added

I need to be able to tell when I have put an order through to my warehouse, I need a timeline stamp for when I put a 'Process' tag on an order.  I would like this automated so the Process tag automatically creates either a timeline comment or a timeline event.  I can't see a way to do this with Flow.  I just need some way to track that an order has been but through to the warehouse and when.

This is an accepted solution.

I don't think there's a way to add timeline comments or events, something I've been wanting to do for years now.

 

In the meantime, you could try to think of alternative ideas, for example:

- add order notes

- add order additional details

- tag the order

- if it's necessary to be in the timeline, create an auto notification to staff, to then add the comment

Thanks, let's hope one day Shopify lets us use Flow to add to the timeline, I'll use an auto notification instead so I have a timestamped record at least.
