Order Fulfillment flow

My store uses two different vendors for products. One is Gooten which won't work if I change my admin settings to to automatically fulfill order line items. The other is Printful which WILL work if I change that setting otherwise I have to go in and manually request fulfillment. 

I'm trying to set up a flow to only request fulfillment for line items coming from Printful, but I am not sure how to do this. I've tried the template Shopify provides, but I don't want to mess up orders from the other vendor by doing this.

You should be able to create something where if vendor = Printful, fulfill that item.

 

If you're afraid to mess something up, just create the flow then do a test order right after and make sure it reacts accordingly.

Yep that worked! If anyone else needs the solution, this is what I did. 

The first 'check if' is set up to check if all line items are from printful then it will send the request. 

Otherwise, it checks if at least one line item is printful and tags those orders, so I know to request fulfillment manually on those line items.download.png

Do you know if there is a way to structure the flow to only request fulfillment on certain line items?

Fulfillment happens at the line item level, not the order level, so it should already be good to go. That's how fulfillment with apps works so I assume it works the same for Flow.
