How it works

3 steps to start tagging orders when customers use your target discount code

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

Why this matters: This trigger monitors your Shopify store and captures every new order as it comes in, providing all the order data needed to check for discount codes and apply tags.

This step automatically activates whenever a customer completes a purchase in your store. It captures all order details including customer information, purchased items, and any discount codes applied during checkout. No configuration is required - MESA connects directly to your Shopify store's order creation events and passes the complete order data to the next step for processing.

App connector: Loop • Time to complete: 1 minute

Why this matters: This step examines each discount code used on the order to find matches with your target code, ensuring tags are only applied when the specific code you're tracking is present.

The Loop step processes through all discount codes applied to the order and compares each one against your specified discount code. You'll need to enter the exact discount code you want to track in the filter field - this must match exactly how customers will type it (case-sensitive). When a matching discount code is found, the loop allows the workflow to proceed to the tagging step. If no match is found, the workflow stops without making any changes to the order.

App connector: Shopify • Time to complete: 1 minute

Why this matters: This step applies your chosen tag to orders that used the target discount code, making it easy to segment, report on, and analyze these specific orders later.

This action adds a custom tag to the order when the discount code match is confirmed. You'll specify exactly what tag text to add to qualifying orders - choose something descriptive like "VIP-DISCOUNT" or "SUMMER-PROMO-2024" that will help you identify these orders later. The tag appears immediately in your Shopify admin under the order details and can be used for filtering orders, creating customer segments, or generating reports on discount code performance.

Frequently asked questions

Can I track multiple discount codes in the same workflow?

Yes, but you'll need to modify the Loop step's filter to use "contains" instead of "equals" if you want to catch variations, or duplicate the Loop and Order Add Tag steps for each specific code you want to track with different tags.

Will this work with automatic discount codes that don't require customer input?

Yes, this workflow captures all discount codes applied to an order, whether the customer manually entered them or they were automatically applied through Shopify's automatic discount features.

What happens if a customer uses multiple discount codes on one order?

The workflow will check each discount code applied to the order. If any of them match your target code, the tag will be added once to the order. If you're tracking multiple different codes with different tags, you may get multiple tags on the same order.
