Shopify Flow (Pro)

  1. To use them, open Apps → Flow in your Shopify admin, click Create workflow, then Select a trigger. In the list, pick the app Giftpin: Registry & Wishlist first and its three triggers appear. Searching for "Giftpin" or "registry" in the main list finds nothing: choose the app first.
  2. Giftpin adds three triggers to Shopify Flow: Registry created, Registry event coming up and Registry gift bought. Use them to email the registrant, tag a customer or tell your team.
  3. Registrant emails are for messages about their own registry. Marketing to them still needs their consent.
