The new in-built Marketing Automations is a welcome Shopify feature with lots of functionality when you drill into the flows - and with a big array of both Conditions and Actions.
However, I am struggling to find resources eg tutorials to build advanced flows or examples of sample merchant stores’ advanced flows. Certainly does not seem to be anything in Shopify’s own documentation to help.
Also, I dont get how you can test the flows to make sure triggers are working as you want them.
I am wondering if you ever got a response to this or figured out how to test the flows? I would like to see if my triggers are working as I imagined before I turn them on and start sending emails to the wrong customers.
Nope.
Shopify + ecosystem appear slow to ramp up/share on expertise in marketing automation. Shopify are great at selling to us merchants but lousy at building out the knowledge base (as we all see in many ecommerce topics and features etc)
Thanks! I love the idea of these features, but if I cannot run a quick test
and see what data is pulled by my query it makes me very nervous to launch.
Particularly when it involved email automation to customers.
