I have some custom values in my checkout.liquid file I would like to incorporate in my Shopify Flow.
Is there a way to pass/trigger a Shopify Flow with custom values? I didn’t see an option in Shopify Flow to do this and my research has turned 0 results on this issue. I think I am looking at this the wrong way.
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Have you reached out to your MSM? If they aren’t helpful please feel free to reach out to my development cooperative https://colab.coop/contact/
Thanks for the advice. I have reached out to our MSM.
It’s not clear what you mean by custom values. Do you mean metafields or possibly custom attributes (aka properties)?
Hi Paul,
Yeah. Is there a way to add or POST custom attributes to an order within the theme code?
I was thinking maybe the cart-attributes or utilzing the note-attributes.
Not using Flow. Flow is asynchoronous and not designed to work in the cart itself. It would work after the order is created. Scripts might be a better fit, but I’m not sure if you can set those attributes via Scripts or not.
Thanks.
In Shopify Flow how do I add in a custom utm parameter?
For example I have a parameter that is mrRID=“321123”
How would this get setup in SF?
@chrishb Without clearer details this is an XY problem so the difficulty for others to understand the problem increases and possible solutions decrease.

Just in case this tutorial is a good jumping point for a purely theme only approach to whatever the goal might be https://community.shopify.com/post/616525
You may want to look at an automation app like usemechanic to add info to ordershttps://apps.shopify.com/mechanic
either after the fact https://tasks.mechanic.dev/auto-tag-orders-with-utm-parameters
or before in tandem with some theme customization and script modifications
