How to tag an order with the day of the week it was created

[Darren-Bull]

Hello,

I am quite familiar with Flow and it's use however I need to add a 'day of the week' tag to orders as they are created, e.g., Orders placed on a Monday are tagged with 'Monday', Orders placed on a Tuesday are tagged with 'Tuesday', etc.

Has anyone any ideas as to how this could be achieved?

Many thanks,

Darren.

Hi Darren,

You can easily do this with shopify flow by creating an automation that tags orders based on the day they were placed. Here’s how:

• Trigger: Order created
• Condition: Check the order's created date
• Action: Add a tag based on the day of the week To get the day of the week dynamically, you can use liquid variables in Flow. Try this in the "Add order tag" action: {{ order.created_at | date: "%A" }}

This will automatically tag orders with "monday," "tuesday,"..., based on the day they were created.

Hope that helps! Let me know if you need more details.
