Shopify Flow is an ecommerce automation platform that enables you to automate tasks and processes within your store and across your apps.
I would like to automatically populate a product's weight using flow upon product creation. I can use a specific tag to determine the correct value. Is there a way to achieve this in flow?
I assume the action would be to 'update product metafield' but to do this I need the namesake and key (and know the correct 'type' of metafield) for the shopify weight field and understand how to format what goes into the 'Value' field of the action.
Can someone help?
Hi @SAnderson_GW 👋 While you could define weight as a metafield, the most appropriate way is to update the inventoryItem.measurement.weight fields. You may be able to automate that in Flow using an inventoryItemUpdate mutation via the Send Admin API request action.
