Shopify Flow continues to evolve and offer more powerful solutions for managing your ecommerce store, with the launch of new blocks focused on working with Metaobjects. These features bring Flow closer to becoming a complete backend system for managing data and processes.
The new blocks include:
-
Get Metaobject Entries
You can now retrieve lists of Metaobjects by type or using a custom query. For example, if you are using Metaobjects to display specific colors in a product or filters, you can retrieve the specific color using a query and take actions based on the result.Practical example :
Your product provider provides colors as a text value ("red," for example). Using a query, you can locate the Metaobject of type "Colors" that contains this value, and then use it to update the appropriate product fields in your store. -
Get Metaobject Entry
This function allows retrieving a specific Metaobject by its ID, a more focused and simplified version of the first function.
Why is this important?
Data management in Shopify has come a long way: from basic metafields to advanced Metaobjects. The new functions allow you to fully work with data - read, write, edit, and delete - directly from Flow.
What does this mean for your business?
- Less dependence on paid apps.
- Create custom solutions without the need for code.
Shopify Flow continues to simplify processes and provide merchants with powerful tools for efficient and cost-effective management.
