Require Manager Approval for Large Shopify Discount Codes
When support or sales staff can create discount codes, a typo or an overly generous code can cost real money before anyone notices. This workflow checks every new Shopify discount, and if it's above your dollar or percentage limit it pauses the code and asks a manager in Slack to approve it.

FAQs
Can Shopify block a discount before it's created?
No. Shopify has no approval step for discounts, so this workflow pauses an over-limit code right after it's created, before customers have a chance to use it.
How does the manager approve it?
They open the discount from the Slack link and remove the end date or set a new one in Shopify admin, which makes the code active again.
Can I use different limits for percentage and fixed discounts?
Yes. Set one threshold for percentage discounts and another for fixed amounts in the filter step.
