Any way to complete 1 action despite multiple triggers at a time?

Shopify Plus

Topic summary

A Shopify Flow trigger fires once per 100 discount codes created, resulting in 1,000 triggers for a batch of 100,000 codes. The goal is to consolidate these multiple triggers into a single Slack notification per bulk discount batch.

Proposed Solution:

  • Use a Shop metafield or metaobject to track a counter
  • Increment the count with each trigger
  • Send the Slack message only when the counter reaches the total expected triggers
  • Reset the counter to 0 after sending

Status: No native Flow feature exists to reduce multiple triggers to one action. The discussion remains open with the workaround suggestion as the only proposed approach.

Hi all,

There is a trigger available in Flows for our bulk discounts creation app that fires 1x for every 100 codes created. So if we created a batch of 100,000 codes, it would trigger 1,000 times.

We are looking to send a Slack message once per bulk discount created.

Does anyone have any experience reducing multiple triggers to one action?

Thank you!

No. You might be able to store that information in a Shop metafield or a metaobject. Something like a count. And when the count reaches a certain number, you send the slack message and set the count back to 0
