Hi @simenedvin I’m @PaulNewton shopify-partner with a range of merchant solutions.
You can reach out to me for automations or customization services.

Such automations can technically be built using shopify-flow but more advanced apps like mechanic can be a bit saner about it because of the way flow is trigger>action based with some actions like release-fulfillment-hold not being able to run in an arbitrary workflow.
