Create an Order Tag when Additional Details are added in order

Topic summary

Goal: Automatically tag orders when the “Additional Details” section contains data, distinct from the Order Note.

Key clarification: “Additional Details” map to order.customAttributes in Shopify Flow (not Notes). They are key–value pairs accessible in Flow.

Working approach (confirmed by multiple replies):

  • Use order.customAttributes in Flow to evaluate presence or specific keys.
  • Filter by key, then act (e.g., add a tag) if the attribute exists or meets a value condition.

Implementation details:

  • Liquid example to retrieve a specific attribute:
    assign filtered_attribute = order.customAttributes | where: “key”, “some_key” | first
    Then check filtered_attribute (and its value) in a Condition.
  • Conditions can target the key/value in Flow; screenshots and a code snippet were provided.

Disagreement resolved: Initial suggestion that a custom script was required was superseded—Flow supports this via order.customAttributes.

Status: A viable method and code snippet were provided. The original poster requested step-by-step guidance and may need help implementing; paid assistance was offered. No final confirmation of implementation success.

Notes: Screenshots and the Liquid snippet are central to understanding the setup.
