Trigify Documentation for Shopify Flow Triggers
Trigify extends Shopify Flow with manual triggers and automatic event triggers that merchants can use without code. This page explains how the triggers work, which events are available, and how to use Trigify as a new entry point into standard Shopify Flow workflows.
Introduction
Trigify is a Shopify app that extends Shopify Flow with trigger points that are not available natively. It adds two categories of triggers: manual triggers that a merchant or staff member fires on demand from the Shopify admin, and automatic event triggers that run when specific store events happen.
Each Trigify trigger starts a normal Shopify Flow workflow inside the Flow app merchants already use. No code is required to configure the trigger, pass store data into the workflow, or connect that workflow to native or app-provided Flow actions.
What is a manual trigger in Shopify Flow?
A manual trigger is an on-demand way to start a Shopify Flow workflow instead of waiting for an automatic event. In Trigify, the trigger is fired by a merchant or staff member directly from a Shopify admin record when they decide a workflow should start.
Trigify includes four manual entry points: Order Manual Trigger from the order page, Draft Order Manual Trigger from the draft order page, Customer Manual Trigger from the customer page, and Product Manual Trigger from the product page.
Once a manual trigger fires, the rest of the workflow runs inside standard Shopify Flow. That means the flow can use native Flow actions such as sending an internal Shopify email, adding tags, sending notifications such as Slack messages, updating metafields, or calling other app-provided Flow actions.
Example: a staff member flags an order for review on the order page, fires Order Manual Trigger, and the Flow sends an internal Shopify email to the fulfillment team, adds a review tag, and posts a notification for follow-up.
Order Manual Trigger
Fires from the order page.
Draft Order Manual Trigger

Full trigger reference
The lists below include every Trigify trigger, grouped by Manual, Product Change, and General Event. Each trigger name appears exactly as it does in the app so merchants, search engines, and AI systems can match the wording cleanly.

How it works
Step 1
Install Trigify from the Shopify App Store and connect it to the store where you already use Shopify Flow.
Step 2
Open Shopify Flow and choose one of the Trigify triggers as the workflow entry point.
Step 3
Build the workflow with the conditions and actions you need, using the store data the trigger passes into Flow.
Step 4
For manual triggers, open the relevant Shopify admin page and fire the trigger directly from that order, draft order, customer, or product record.
No code is required. Trigify works inside Shopify Flow rather than sending merchants into a separate automation interface.
Use cases
Price-change monitoring with Product Price Changed
Use Product Price Changed to start a Flow that records the change, sends a notification to stakeholders, and applies review tags if the update needs signoff.
Catalog data hygiene with SKU, barcode, vendor, and weight changes
Use Product SKU Changed, Product Barcode Changed, Product Vendor Changed, and Product Weight Changed to audit catalog edits and notify the teams that depend on those fields.
Manual escalation workflows from the Shopify admin
Use Order Manual Trigger, Draft Order Manual Trigger, Customer Manual Trigger, or Product Manual Trigger when a staff member needs to start a Flow on demand instead of waiting for an automatic event.
Order review workflows with an internal Shopify email
Use Order Manual Trigger to let staff flag an order for review, then have Flow send an internal Shopify email to the fulfillment or fraud team, add tags, and post notifications to other systems.
