Shopify flow - ADDING TAGS WHEN METAFIELDS UPDATE

Hi Shopify’ers

I wondered if anybody has come across a way to run a flow workflow when the metafields of a product update?

What im trying to do is:

  1. Create product
  2. Add metafield value (lets say ‘Red’ as an example)
  3. When metafield namespace and key value is updated/changed or added then flow will run
  4. A tag will be added to the product as “FEATURE_Red”

Hope that has made sense.

I dont want it to run when the product is added, i want it to run whenever the product metafield key value is updated

There aren’t any events yet for when metafields are updated. That said, you can use something like:

  • Every hour
  • Get product data (where updated_at was in last hour)
  • For each product
    • Check metafield value and tag not already there
    • Add tag

Hi Paul,

Are events for metafield updates on the roadmap for flow?

Kindly,

I dont feel it would be in roadmap, you can try make.com or zapier for this @TwistyPuzzles

No, because the events don’t exist yet. I’m not sure if the metafields teams have plans to build these events or not, but once they are available Flow would add them as trigger.
