How to remove tags from inactive customers in Shopify Flow?

[LexBratt]

How can I remove a tag from a customer that hasn't made a purchase in the last 35 days, using Shopify Flow?

It sounds like you have part of your workflow in place already, but our Customer Tagger app allows you to both apply tags and then schedule those tags to be removed after a specified period of time, e.g. 35 days

If a Customer places another order within that time, we will cancel the existing scheduled tag removal job and create a new tag removal job for 35 days time.

A lot of Merchants use this feature to manage Customers with monthly subscriptions.

YES, YOU CAN! FLOW have command "wait"

Unfortunately the wait action currently has a 30 days max limit on it. This means the OP wouldn't be able to use this for their particular scenario.

It's generally a bad idea to sleep/wait something for a long time like this as it leads to problems if you ever need to edit it. Instead, you can use scheduling to accomplish this. There is a template that shows how (for products) that you could adapt:

To outline the workflow steps:

• Scheduled time trigger
• Get customer data (query by order_date, see examples for how to use relative dates to get 35 days ago)
• For each (customer)
  • Add or remove the customer tag

Hi Paul - Just looking at this Flow and trying to adjust it to suit our needs. We want to remove customer tags a certain time frame after they purchased a specific item. Is there a way to use the customer get data to be a date when an tag was added to that customer? i.e. if customer was tagged "NEW" 365 days ago, remove tag New? We can have customer that have been setup in the system but haven't ordered so using customer creation date doesn't work. The NEW tag is only added after the first order.

There are a few threads where this has been solved. Here's one: https://community.shopify.com/c/shopify-flow-app/help-with-flow-to-assign-tags-to-new-products/m-p/2...
