what is shopify flow

all right what's so amazing about,shopify plus you're asking maybe it's,the fact that you're gonna save a lot of,money in transaction fees,oh but this video is not about saving,money on transaction fees because,who cares about that no it's about,saving money on your staff,with shopify flow okay so here's the,situation you spend half of your time on,boring repetitive tasks right now that,are just,sucking out your energy and you're not,being able to grow your business because,of it so you're smart you say problem,solution,boring repetitive task i'm just gonna,hire an assistant right,wrong you should use shopify flow it's,100,free if you're on shopify plus now what,does it do can i read a shopify flow is,a system for,setting up automated tasks inside your,shopify admin,tell me not so if you ever used zapier,it's basically zapier on steroids,but built within shopify built,by shopify frankly from all of our,shopify plus customers the list of,benefits of having shopify plus,goes lower transaction fees shopify flow,a shopify script okay so let's take a,little look on the back end of shopify,flow how does it look well first of all,you're going to go to the app store,and you're going to look for shopify,flow and you're going to be installing,okay so once the app is installed you'll,end up on your dashboard that looks kind,of like this,let's zoom in the dashboard has a simple,design with only a few buttons,shopify flow is created to save your,time so go into the template section,and you'll get all the flows that you,need for starting to automate your,business,so that's pretty cool just like we,covered in the scripts video it's,actually out of the box these flows but,you can also build your own and frankly,just like with zapier setting up a flow,just takes a couple of minutes and,you're ready to save some money okay now,let's build a quick flow together one of,our favorite flows that we build,with our clients or that they're,actually building themselves,is automatically cancel risk orders,concept if,it's pretty simple if there's a high,risk order that comes in,just automatically cancel that order,restock the item and,send a cancellation email to the email,address of the high risk order,pretty straightforward saves you a lot,of time if you do,a lot of revenue okay so you just click,on create a workflow from the template,and you are on a new page and here you,can see the details of the workflow add,tags enable disable it and also edit the,workflow,let's edit it to add more conditions so,as mentioned before this app works with,an,if then logic if this happens then just,do this,so the first step for that is the,trigger if this happens so trigger is,just a specific event and basically when,that event happens,shopify flow is going to start out of,the box there are nine default,triggers and i'm going to show you all,nine right here and that way you're like,oh my god i can do that,i need that and if you're not thinking,oh man i'm missing some of the triggers,it's not doing this or that as a trigger,well you can add additional triggers,with third-party integration apps if,those apps,are you know supported shopify flow apps,okay now that we have the trigger we,have to set up the condition condition,statements are basically rules that must,be passed as either,true or false in order to dictate what,is going to happen,there are over a hundred different,conditions to pick from each with a,number of,variations available multiple condition,statements can be grouped together,meaning all statements,have to be true to pass the entire,statement,but zoo the first condition is if the,risk order level is equal to high,then take certain action here on the,right you can set up the additional,conditions,and the process is rather simple like,when you are making automatic,collections,okay now that we set up all the,conditions and the triggers we need to,create actions basically what's going to,happen when all of that is met,and shopify actually works with a bunch,of tools,outside of shopify in order to make it,simple for example you can send a,message to slack,but you can also work with all of these,out of the box being like hey,update my google sheet please and all,the other things that's pretty useful,so in this specific example when the,analysis returns a high risk level just,cancel the order send an email add a,customer tag,and add an order tag and actually now,that we're at it also add a slack,message,in our group right here and actually um,let's add another condition so,if the order is medium risk i just want,to be notified on slack so i can look,into it,so click on add condition on the right,choose order risk level is equal to,medium,and then here we're going to go to,choose which actions you want to perform,and in our case just send us a slack,message and that's,pretty much it i'm gonna save the,workflow turn it on and,boom it's like magic do you believe in,magic,that was not okay i shouldn't do that,again i'm very sorry okay so now you're,getting a good idea of what you can,really do with shopify flow and why,some people say oh my god it's the best,thing about shopify plus,beside then the fact that you know you,pay lower transaction fees again that's,the biggest thing about shopify plus,but if you keep in mind that like you,know an average assistant,is gonna cost you about two thousand,dollars a month all in,in the united states and shopify plus,starts at two thousand dollars a month,you know maybe there is some,math going on there okay you might be,thinking andrew can you give me a,bit more of a global picture what we can,do except doing the high risk and medium,risk order,sure you can also play with things like,inventory loyalty and promotions,customers,orders and products okay for inventory,you can just,tag products that are low or out of,stock you can also temporarily remove,products that are low or out of stock,automatically with flow,and you can also make sure that you know,if a product gets below a certain,inventory level to,automatically send an email to maybe,that supplier being like hey we need to,add her some more to this,we need to add her some more that's not,even english andrew,get it together boy loyalty and,promotions,okay with this flow you're basically,tracking the use of discount codes,you can get an email notification when,you get a huge order that way you can,kind of look into it or maybe give vip,treatment,and it can also integrate with other,loyalty apps which is very useful,some examples of integrations can be,these guys,we reviewed some of these you should go,check it out okay when it comes to,customers you can add tax to customers,from really anything based on like,postal code or ip address or really,order size pretty much anything you can,organize customers by their lifetime,spend but you can also,track customers who do a lot of refunds,that's one that we see often be like oh,really you ordered again but you keep,refunding,so i'm not going to sure that i'm going,to help you out on this one or i'm going,to call you first because i don't want,another refund that costs any money when,it comes to orders you can just send an,email to your staff automatically when,there's an,order or specific type of order or maybe,a very large order or you can track all,the orders that are made with,a gift cards and send emails with,reports of that that's pretty cool as,well and then for the last category,about products,every time you add a new product it can,automatically add it to a specific,collection,depending on the tag um that's pretty,cool it's going to save you some time of,back and forward,nice shopify so i hope with this little,video series that we do about shopify,plus we're demystifying some of the,elements about shopify plus,such as shopify plus transaction the,cost the scripts and today was shopify,flow i hope you enjoyed it make sure to,give it a like or subscribe that would,mean the world to me and see you in,another video,bye
