Hi, thanks I see that error now. I think that is a validation bug in Flow (key passes because that's literally the name of the field). In the interim, depending on which field you are looking to use this information, you could use a loop to get at the attribute like this:

{% for attr in order.customAttributes %}
{% if attr.key == "Delivery-Date" %}
{{ attr.value }}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}

 I have confirmed that this passes validation, but not that it works. I would love to hear back if it works for you.

The naming follows the GraphQL API, so it's 

{{ order.customAttributes['key'] }}

{{ order.customAttributes['key'] }}

I've given this a go and the flow seems to accept this however, when changing the actual key name to a given attribute, it rejects it. For example:

{{ order.customAttributes['DeliveryDate'] }}

 

This is rejected by Shopify Flow, throwing an error message claiming that the reference does not exist.

Currently, I am using Arrigato Automation as a solution which does work well however, I thought that Shopify Flow would offer this functionality. Might be a bug but if anyone has any other suggestions, happy to take a look.

Thanks,

Ryan

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your suggestion.

I can confirm that this works as exactly as expected. Just added it to a Shopify Plus Workflow, tested and set live!

Thanks a lot.

I would go with something similar to this:

 

{{ order.customAttributes | where: "key", "Delivery-Date" | map: "value" | join: "" }}

 

Why? To avoid unnecessary for loop. This is also a much more simpler to write as oneliner.

Idea is first find correct attribute by key using liquid where filter (https://shopify.dev/api/liquid/filters/array-filters#where) and pick the value. Don't find any other liquid method/filter to return value than map it to new array and then join the found value(s) as string
