Why am I receiving daily stock alerts from Flow without any detail?

Topic summary

Unexpected daily “Stock Alert” emails from flow@shopify.com are being sent daily to a development store that reportedly has no Flow app installed and no automations. The emails contain no details; a screenshot shows blank/empty alert content. Flow refers to Shopify’s automation app.

Key points:

  • Store is under development with virtually no traffic.
  • Dozens of emails arrive each day, lacking actionable information.
  • Merchant states the Flow app is not installed and no automated tasks exist.

Latest update/action:

  • A Shopify staff member asked the merchant to contact support and provide shop details and the recipient email address so the team can investigate.

Status:

  • No root cause identified; issue unresolved. Next step is direct engagement with Shopify Support to diagnose why alerts are being generated and how to stop them.
