See every featureWorkflow Companion extends Shopify Flow with the triggers and actions it doesn't include out of the box. Start workflows when any field, metafield, tag, or comment changes on orders, products, customers, companies, collections, and others. You can also start them manually, from your own scripts, or from external systems.
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.
