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.
Run your own JavaScript or TypeScript directly inside Shopify Flow - no servers to host. Transform data, calculate values, format text, evaluate conditions, call external APIs, and read or write store data, then pass custom outputs to the next Flow step.
