Improving Workflows with Shopify Flow - Everything New

Shopify store owners using Shopify Flow will be interested in two significant updates that were recently released, designed to make debugging easier and save valuable time.

1. Detailed tracking of process data
Now you can track all the details of the data that has flowed through your processes. The new feature shows the inputs and outputs of each action and process:

Triggers: The input specifies the ID that triggered the process (for example: Order ID). The output includes all the information that the process used from the object that triggered it (such as items).

Actions: The input shows the instructions defined for the action (for example, adding a row to a datasheet with certain values). The output describes the results, including fields returned from the API.

This information is available for processes starting in mid-January 2025, and allows you to easily identify and resolve issues.

2. Quick search in fields and values
The second feature allows you to search for values ​​and fields within each process, without having to open and check each process individually.
For example, if you want to check if a particular tag has been added to a product, you can simply search for the tag. Although the field claims to only search trigger data, it actually functions more broadly.

Why is this important?
Before these upgrades, you had to add Log Output at every step you wanted to check, and manually search for data. The new updates save time and streamline automation.

With these features, Shopify Flow becomes a more powerful and efficient store management tool. It's time to take advantage of these improvements and make your workflow more effective than ever.
