What it does

This trigger lets one Shopify Flow workflow start another workflow so you can break larger automations into smaller pieces.

When to use it

Use this when one workflow is doing too much and you want reusable downstream flows.

Before you start

• Install Flow Buddy
• Confirm your plan includes flow-to-flow triggers
• Identify the source workflow and the downstream workflow

Setup steps

1. Create the downstream workflow in Shopify Flow.
2. Add the Flow Buddy flow-to-flow trigger to that workflow.
3. In the source workflow, add the matching Flow Buddy action or trigger handoff.
4. Save both workflows.
5. Run the source workflow with test data.
6. Confirm the downstream workflow starts.

Example

A VIP customer workflow assigns a segment, then triggers a separate welcome-gift workflow.

Troubleshooting

• If the second workflow does not run, confirm both workflows are saved.
• Simplify the downstream workflow and test again.
