Creating Yotpo Workflows in Shopify Flow

Shopify Flow is an eCommerce automation application that allows you to create completely custom back-end workflows that make your business more organized and efficient. You can use Shopify Flow to automate common tasks in your store, such as:

• Rewarding positive reviews with loyalty points 
• Automatically opening support tickets for negative reviews
• Sending follow-up emails for positive or negative reviews
• Issuing gift cards for outstanding reviews

How it works

Workflows are triggered by internal events that run in your Shopify store, such as an order being created or a customer being added. Workflows check that certain conditions are met and then run an action. Actions can include changing an object in your store, such as tagging a product or canceling a risky order. An action can also send an email and create or update a Yotpo review!

Getting started

Once you're logged in to your Shopify Plus account, go to the Shopify app store, download, and install the Yotpo and Shopify Flow apps. Yotpo's Shopify Flow integration allows you to define triggers for reviews created by your shoppers and reviews updated by through Yotpo's Reviews and Q&A moderation. For example, a newly created review can trigger a Review Created workflow. Once that review is published, the Review Updated workflow would be triggered.

Yotpo triggers

Triggers are events that start (trigger) workflows. These events can be internal events in Shopify or external events from connected Shopify apps. Each trigger carries a llist of related conditions and actions that you can use to enhance your workflow.

Using Yotpo triggers, you can achieve a desired action such as sending an email or awarding loyalty points for a good review based on star-rating conditions. 

Review created

Trigger an action that occurs when a review is created. For example, you can trigger a "Thank You" email to a customer for creating a review. 

Review updated

Trigger an action to occur if a review is updated by the moderator. For example, you can set up a workflow to award loyalty points for a review that gets published.

Conditions

Conditions help ensure that your workflow runs actions only when certain conditions are met. Conditions are like IF..THEN statements. They can check against the properties of the trigger event as well as properties of objects (orders, products, customers, and so on) that are involved in the event.
