Product variant added

The Product variant added trigger starts a workflow when a user in your organization or a third-party app adds a variant to an existing product.

Note

Workflows using the Product variant added trigger start when a new product is added to the Shopify admin because adding a new product creates a single default variant.

This trigger affects variants created by any method, such as adding a new product, creating variants in existing products, duplicating variants, or bulk actions.
