Shopify Flow (options)
The Live Product Options app does not have its own Shopify Flow triggers. The only automation it provides is adding the live-product-options order tag, which is added when at least one product with options was ordered. If you want to react to a specific option your customer selected, you can do that with Shopify Flow. Flow reads the option selections that the app saves on the order.
How option selections reach Shopify Flow
When a customer selects an option, the app saves it on the cart line as a Shopify line item property. The name of the option is the key, and the selection is the value. In Shopify Flow, these properties are called customAttributes , and each one has a key and a value .
Before you build a workflow, open an order in your Shopify admin that already contains the option and write down the key and the value exactly as they appear there, including the case. You will need to enter them exactly the same way in the Flow condition.
Example: tag orders that need a proof
- Trigger: Order created
- Condition: the order has a line item where the custom attribute key is
require a proof?and the value isYES - Action: Add order tag
proof-required
Always check the key and the value together. If you only check the value, for example YES , the workflow also runs for any other option that uses the same value.
Let Shopify build it for you
If you do not want to build the workflow yourself, copy the trigger, condition and action from the example above into Sidekick, the Shopify assistant in your admin, and it will create the workflow for you.
Hidden properties
Properties with a key that starts with an underscore, for example _cl_options , are not shown on your storefront, but you can still read them in Flow. Enter the key exactly as it is, including the underscore. See _cl_options property.
