What it does

This trigger lets an outside system send a POST request to Flow Buddy and start a Shopify Flow workflow.

When to use it

Use this when an ERP, CRM, warehouse system, or custom app needs to kick off automation inside Shopify.

Before you start

• Install Flow Buddy
• Make sure your app plan includes webhook triggers
• Decide which external system will send the webhook
• Identify the data you want to pass into Flow

Setup steps

1. Open the Webhooks area in Flow Buddy.
2. Review the webhook configuration for your shop.
3. Copy the endpoint or trigger details you need.
4. In the external system, configure a POST request to the Flow Buddy endpoint.
5. Create a Shopify Flow workflow that uses the Flow Buddy webhook trigger.
6. Send a test webhook.
7. Confirm the workflow runs.

Example

A warehouse system posts shipment data to Flow Buddy. Shopify Flow then updates records and sends a customer-facing message.
