Use FlashWombat Flow Triggers

FlashWombat triggers can start a Shopify Flow workflow when a named QR placement needs attention or reaches an attributed visit milestone. You choose what the workflow does next.

Create a Triggered Workflow

1. In Shopify admin, go to Apps > Flow.
2. Select Create workflow, then Select a trigger.
3. Under installed app triggers, choose FlashWombat.
4. Select QR placement needs attention or QR campaign milestone reached.
5. Add conditions using the trigger fields.
6. Add the notification, task, campaign action, or other Flow action you want to run.
7. Test the workflow, then turn it on.

The trigger alone does not notify your team or change a campaign. The workflow must be active and include a downstream action.

QR Placement Needs Attention

This trigger starts a workflow when a placement:

• Moves from healthy or unchecked into attention.
• Moves from healthy or unchecked into broken.
• Escalates from attention to broken.

Repeated checks at the same severity do not start another workflow. This keeps an unresolved finding from producing a new event on every check.

Useful fields for Flow conditions include health status, previous status, highest severity, finding codes, placement name and category, deployment state, short-link title, check time, and an authenticated admin URL.

For example, send a high-priority staff notification only when Health status equals broken and Deployment state indicates that the material is printed and in use. Include Admin URL in the message so staff can open the affected campaign.

QR Campaign Milestone Reached

This trigger starts a workflow when one named placement reaches one of these attributed QR-visit counts:

1, 10, 50, 100, 500, or 1000

Useful fields include the threshold, current QR visit count, placement name and category, placement status, deployment state, short-link title, analytics URL, and measurement note.

You could use conditions to:

• Notify a campaign owner at 50 visits.
• Create a review task at 100 visits.
• Send different internal messages for packaging, event, and retail-display placements.

Milestones count attributed, non-bot visits to a named QR URL. They do not represent unique people and do not prove that every visit came from a camera scan. Treat them as campaign engagement signals, not order attribution.

Delivery and Timing

Shopify Flow and app-trigger delivery are asynchronous. A trigger may not appear immediately after a qualifying event.

FlashWombat records qualifying events and attempts delivery. Known failures can remain pending for another attempt; uncertain delivery outcomes are not replayed automatically because doing so could run the merchant's downstream actions twice. Review Shopify Flow run history when a workflow does not behave as expected.

Historical activity does not create a burst of old trigger events when you first activate a workflow. New qualifying transitions and milestones drive future events.

Checkout Analytics Are Separate

FlashWombat does not provide a checkout-completed Flow trigger. These QR triggers do not include Shopify Order or Customer objects.

Checkout-started and checkout-completed figures in FlashWombat analytics are directional campaign signals associated with recent visits. Use Shopify's order workflows when your automation must start from an actual Shopify order or checkout event.

See Shopify's create a workflow documentation for activation and testing guidance.
