How it works

2 steps to start triggering Shopify Flow workflows from any external service or application

App connector: Webhook • Time to complete: 0 minutes (Auto-configured)

Why this matters: This creates the entry point for external services to send data into your workflow, allowing any system to communicate with Shopify Flow through MESA.

This step sets up a webhook URL that external services can send data to. When you activate this workflow, MESA generates a unique webhook endpoint that accepts JSON data from any source - whether it's a third-party app, custom script, or another automation platform. The webhook receives the incoming data and passes it directly to the Shopify Flow trigger step. No configuration is required since the webhook automatically accepts and processes any valid JSON payload.

App connector: Shopify Flow • Time to complete: 1 minute

Why this matters: This step translates the webhook data into a format that Shopify Flow can understand and act upon, bridging external systems with your Shopify automation.

This step takes the data received from the webhook and formats it as a Shopify Flow trigger event. You'll need to configure which Shopify Flow workflow should receive this data by selecting it from your existing Flow workflows in the dropdown menu. The step automatically packages the webhook payload and sends it to your chosen Flow workflow, where it can be processed using Flow's built-in conditions and actions. This creates a seamless connection between external data sources and your Shopify store's automation.

Make it your own!

Customize this workflow even further:

Set custom data filters

Add condition steps to filter which webhook data triggers your Flow workflows, such as only processing orders above a certain value or from specific customer segments.

Transform data before Flow

Use MESA's data transformation steps to modify, format, or enrich the webhook data before it reaches Shopify Flow, ensuring it matches your Flow workflow's expected format.

Connect multiple external sources

Create separate webhook endpoints for different services, then route them to appropriate Flow workflows based on the data source or content type.

Add notification layers

Include email, Slack, or SMS notifications in MESA before triggering Flow, so your team gets instant alerts about external events hitting your Shopify automation.
