Flow Automation: Triggering Workflows When an Order Is All Shipped – SHOPLINE Help Center

You can use the Order all shipped trigger in Flow Automation to start a workflow as soon as every item in an order is shipped, for example when staff mark all items as shipped in the admin. This automates routine tasks such as sending notifications and updating order tags, so your team does not need to handle them manually.

This guide explains when to use the trigger, how to test it end to end, and provides a practical example for automating communications and updates.

Supported Actions

The following actions are supported when using the Order all shipped trigger. Click on any action name to view its setup instructions:

Testing the Workflow

To test a workflow triggered when an order is fully shipped, follow these steps:

From your SHOPLINE admin panel, go to Orders > Draft orders and click Create order to manually add a test draft order.
Click Mark as shipped to create a fulfillment package and trigger the workflow.

Note: If the test order contains multiple items, make sure all items are marked as shipped to successfully trigger the workflow.
Verify that the trigger works as configured in the Flow Automation app. For details on how to view flow execution results, please refer to the "How to View the Running of a Flow" section of this Help Center guide.
