Conditional logic for Shopify automation
Add if-then logic to workflows. Route orders, segment customers, and control which steps run—no coding required.
Popular solutions using filter tool
Real-world automation scenarios
Order routing by value
Route orders over $500 to approval, under $500 to auto-fulfill. Different workflows for domestic vs international.
VIP customer treatment
Detect VIP customers by tags or LTV and send them through expedited shipping and personalized messaging.
Review routing
Route 5-star reviews to marketing, low scores to support. Trigger different follow-ups based on feedback.
Fraud and risk flagging
Flag high-risk orders (high value, new customer, international) for manual review before processing.
Form response routing
Route form submissions by answer. "Interested in wholesale" goes to sales; "Support question" goes to help desk.
Inventory alerts
Only notify when stock drops below threshold. Filter out products that don't need reorder attention.

Getting started with filter tool
Add a Filter step
Insert Filter in your workflow where you need conditional logic. Choose the field to evaluate (order total, customer tag, etc.)
Set your conditions
Pick an operator (equals, greater than, contains, is empty) and enter the value. Add AND/OR for multiple conditions.
Control the flow
Steps after the Filter run only when conditions pass. Use Paths to create separate branches for true/false outcomes.
