Automate across apps with connectors
Connectors let you start and end workflows with triggers or actions built by apps that are from Shopify or an app that you have installed that has built a connector.
Set up triggers and actions created by your favorite apps so that they start and end automated workflows. When you use a trigger, the app sends data to Flow. When you use an action, Flow sends information to the app.
Apps that work with Flow
If you've installed one of the apps below, then their custom triggers and actions are automatically available for you to use in Flow. For some of these apps, you need a paid subscription.

Creating workflows with connectors
With connectors, you can create workflows with a combination of triggers and actions that are from Shopify or an app that you have installed that has built a connector.
To create a workflow that involves a connector:
- Install Shopify Flow.
- Install an app that built a connector.
- Set up the app. Depending upon the app, this could involve creating an account, subscribing to a paid service, or adding information about your store.
- Create a workflow in Flow. Choose the following parts:
Connectors at the organization level
Connectors let you start and end workflows with triggers or actions built by apps that are from Shopify, or an app that you have installed that has built a connector.
To see available connectors, go in the Shopify organization admin to Flow > Connectors. Connector apps appear on the Connectors page only after they have been installed in at least one store in your organization. In order for a workflow to run in a particular store, you need to install the app that has the connector in that store.
For example, you have four stores in your organization and want to start using a workflow that includes a loyalty app connector. If you navigate to your connectors page before installing the app, it doesn't appear and you can't use that connector to create workflows.
If you install a loyalty app on one store, then you can use its connector within flows on that store. However, the workflow won't run on the other stores in your organization until you also install the app on those stores.
Limitations and known issues
- If you have a workflow that uses a connector app and you want to run it in a store, then that store needs to have the connector app installed.
- If you need to change the authentication settings for the Asana, Google Sheets, Slack, or Trello connectors, then your store needs to have a copy of the Flow app installed. To change those connector settings, you need to log in to the store and use the Flow app.
- If you uninstall the Flow app from a store, then your workflows are disabled for that store. The workflows still exist in the Shopify organization admin, so you can log in to the Plus organization admin and re-enable them.
