How/where can we find details of the Flow triggers (eg: exactly what "order creates" means)?

  • Are the details and difference of the flow options clarified anywhere?
  • For example: what defines “order created” and what defines “order paid” and what the differences are?

Hey, @FUCHA

You can find our Shopify Flow documentation here. We do touch on the different order triggers in this guide where particular triggers are defined, although it doesn’t explicitly outline the definitions of each.

For your example, however, “order created” refers to when an order is created which includes clicking the Create order button through a draft order creation. Because with draft orders, you may not accept payment upon its creation, there is a separate trigger for “order paid”.

If there are any other examples that you need support with differentiating, please let me know and I’d be happy to see how I can assist.

We have improved the docs for triggers in the new version of Flow. See https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/shopify-plus/flow2/reference/triggers-actions
