How it sells itself

Order Trigger automates the process of sending out purchase order emails to multiple vendors in real time. Send out customized emails to multiple vendors based on the contents of an order. This is superior to Shopify's built-in workaround based on fulfillment services.

Automate your supplier communication with RtsFlow. Manually sending "Request to Supplier" (RTS) emails is slow and error-prone. Our app allows you to trigger professional, automated requests directly from any Shopify order page with one click. Efficiently manage your supply chain with a unified dashboard that tracks vendor counts and request volumes.

Key points
  • Setup triggers depending on product title, SKU, tags, etc.
  • Allocate/automate orders based on zip/postcodes
  • Send orders to multiple vendors per order
  • Email a copy of wholesale orders to the sales reps that service the account
  • Trigger professional "Request to Supplier" emails directly from any order page.
  • Instantly format and send RTS details to vendors without leaving your admin.
  • Track vendor counts and request volumes via a centralized dashboard.

How Shoplist compares apps

Store counts come from Shoplist’s crawl of Shopify storefronts, which detects the apps each store runs; they are as of Oct 13, 2026. Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
