How it sells itself

Bang adds live controls to Shopify Flow: buttons that run workflows on demand, limits that stop a promotion at exactly the number you set, and a live view of the counts and logs your workflows write. Run a capped gift promotion that stops on time, send an on-demand or scheduled report, and get workflow error alerts that stop emailing after a few failures.

FlowWitness watches a business-critical Shopify Flow that starts when an order is paid. Add its completion action to the successful end of the workflow. If an order does not reach the action before your deadline, FlowWitness opens one incident and emails your team with a direct Shopify order link. Review waiting, completed, overdue, and late-completed checks in one timeline.

Key points
  • Fire saved bangs from the Live page to start workflows on demand.
  • Pass keyed values into Flow with text, number, and boolean fields.
  • Keep counts, logs, and values across workflow runs.
  • Limit workflow steps by key to control repeated runs.
  • Start an independent completion deadline for each paid order.
  • Open one incident when a Shopify Flow checkpoint is missing.
  • Email your team with a direct link to the affected order.
