Trigger workflow with filled out survey (fairing)

Topic summary

Main issue: A Shopify Plus merchant cannot get a Shopify Flow automation to trigger when a customer completes a post‑purchase survey via the Fairing app. They can select Fairing as the trigger in Flow, but no runs are initiated.

Context: Fairing is a post‑purchase survey tool; Shopify Flow is an automation app that runs workflows based on app events. The merchant expects a Fairing event (survey completion) to start a workflow.

Recent guidance: The only concrete advice provided is to contact Fairing support to confirm configuration on the Fairing side is correct.

Status: Unresolved/ongoing. No confirmation whether the issue is misconfiguration, missing permissions, or a limitation in Fairing’s Flow triggers.

Open questions:

  • Does Fairing emit a compatible “survey completed” event to Flow for this store?
  • Are any additional app settings, scopes, or mappings required in Fairing/Flow?

I want to trigger a workflow if a customer fills out my post purchase survey. I use the fairing app. I can select the fairing app in the flow app as trigger. but the workflow never triggers. Can someone help?

I’d recommend first reaching out to Fairing to assure that you have set up things correctly on their side.
