Is it possible to trigger the creation of a smart collection based on a tag or meta field?

So this is a step in flow that can be created?

You choose the action “Send HTTP Request” and use it to call an API. You need to create or choose an API key in order to do that. If you search the community for Send HTTP Request, you’ll find some examples

This for me is overly complicated. I am not a developer by any means. I am not sure what to put into the flow fields. I am simply trying to pull data from a metafield we created, and then look for a collection with that name and if not one already there create one. I seem to be able to pull data…

Well you might not be a developer, but you are developing an application to customize your shop when you build an automation. Often what seems simple turns into something a bit more complicated, like for example you need also check if a collection is already there. Anyway, to check for a collection…

Thanks but I am not to the collection checking step as Shopify doesn’t return what I am expecting in some of the previous steps. I will consider hiring a developer.

You can use the Send HTTP Request action to call the API.

Here’s one endpoint: https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-01/mutations/collectionCreate
