AppFox integrates natively with Shopify Flow, Shopify’s built-in no-code automation builder. Every time a customer submits, approves, or declines an order edit — or accepts a post-purchase upsell — AppFox fires a Flow trigger that you can act on with any Flow action. AppFox also exposes its own Flow actions, so you can drive approval logic from other parts of your automation stack. No code, no webhooks to maintain.

​
Available triggers

These AppFox events can start a Flow workflow:
  • Order edit submitted — a customer submitted an edit request that is waiting for review or auto-processing
  • Order edit approved — a merchant approved a queued edit request
  • Order edit declined — a merchant declined a queued edit request
  • Order edit auto-applied — an edit passed your eligibility rules and was applied instantly without manual review
  • Upsell offer accepted — a customer accepted a post-purchase upsell offer during the edit flow

​
Available actions

You can call these AppFox actions from inside any Flow workflow:
  • Approve a pending edit — programmatically approve an edit request that is sitting in the approval queue
  • Decline a pending edit — programmatically decline an edit request

​
Example automations

Trigger: Order edit submittedWhat it does: Every time a customer submits an edit request, Flow adds the tag customer-edited to the order in Shopify. This makes it easy to filter edited orders in your admin, export them for review, or trigger downstream automations based on that tag.Steps:
  1. In Flow, create a new workflow with the AppFox — Order edit submitted trigger.
  2. Add a Shopify — Add order tag action.
  3. Set the tag value to customer-edited.
  4. Activate the workflow.
Trigger: Order edit auto-applied (item removed)What it does: When a customer removes an item and the edit is applied automatically, Flow sends a webhook to your warehouse system so pick lists and packing slips can be updated before the order ships — no manual intervention required.Steps:
  1. In Flow, create a new workflow with the AppFox — Order edit auto-applied trigger.
  2. Add a condition to check that the edit type is an item removal.
  3. Add an HTTP request action pointing to your warehouse webhook endpoint.
  4. Pass the order number and updated line items in the request body.
  5. Activate the workflow.
Trigger: Upsell offer acceptedWhat it does: When a customer accepts a post-purchase upsell, Flow automatically adds a complimentary gift product to their order — a thank-you for the extra purchase that requires no manual fulfilment action on your end.Steps:
  1. In Flow, create a new workflow with the AppFox — Upsell offer accepted trigger.
  2. Add an AppFox — Approve a pending edit action (if the gift addition requires confirmation), or use a native Shopify action to add the gift line item directly.
  3. Optionally, add a Shopify — Add order tag action to tag the order upsell-gift-added for fulfilment tracking.
  4. Activate the workflow.
