Limit a Shopify Promotion to the First 150 Paid Orders
Launch offers like a free gift or an extended warranty for the first 150 customers need a counter that survives between orders and stops cleanly at the cap. This workflow keeps a running total in a MESA data table, checks every paid order against it, tags each qualifying order, and pushes a Klaviyo event so the right confirmation email goes out. Order 151 simply gets nothing.

FAQs
What happens to order 151?
The counter filter stops the workflow before any tag or event, so order 151 and every order after it goes through normally with no promotion.
Can a replayed order take two slots?
No. The first filter skips any order that already carries the promotion tag, so a retried or replayed webhook never claims a second slot.
Can I change the cap?
Yes. Change 150 in the counter filter to any number, or store the cap in the data table record so you can change it without editing the workflow.
