very confusing to use and I don't like how I can't have a customer immediately leave the workflow after the first false condition. By not having that, I have to set extra condition for the entire email campaign to make sure they don't accidentally get emails later.
the app is ok; my issue is with the selecting templates; I've created and saved messages I want to use in my flows but after navigating to drafts to the select them, the app has not been adding anything I select as a template to be included in my flow. It's been an endless loop of refreshing and starting over only to not have the app not add any messages selected, weather my own or shopify's message template. this has becoming extremely frustrating for me. Fix this please.....
Maak svp een api of koppeling weer mogelijk zodat deze icm AI ingevuld / opgezet kan worden.

Hi, in case you are not aware, Flow can be used with Sidekick, which allows you to easily create workflows using AI.
This tool doesn't hook into Messages app, so I'm not able to send branded messages from this. A little annoying, but created a segment instead.
It can be helpful but tends to crash / run very slow when things get difficult It cannot do some simple tasks, like return a list of stock which meets more than one criteria It often struggles to update a workflow, so after working on one for an hour or two, it cannot actually save it, session has to be refreshed and all progress is lost It will sometimes say things can't be done, until you point out that it has already created something similar
Not very happy with its consistency or results
So incredibly difficult to set up a basic automation. I used Sidekick and Claude and this took me almost 3 hours.
si creano spesso loop di errori e si cancellano mail create
updates that change and restrict sidekick. trying to do flows and they do not show up and you can not access them if the AI does it. check things before you publish
The idea is great however it has been unable to perform most tasks I have asked for so far. I have used the Sidekick bot which has suggested multiple Flow tasks and then told me it couldn’t complete the task it suggested because no such function existed within Shopify
Not very good. WE had a ton of fraud so we set our products to draft for just a few minutes, then when we made them active again our automation email with the product in it did not work, said our product was not found, and email was inactive. We had to re-select the same exact product that was selected before but deleted in the email. Could you imagine if we had to do this for a number of products? Ridiculous, as nothing changed with anything except turning product off and on for a minute. Clunky platform.
Espero que en poco tiempo Flow tenga acceso a mas cantidad de datos, ya que es muy potente.
search doesnt work to build the flow. very frustrating
Very difficult to use. Conditions are not easy to understand. AI could certainly help if it could create full flow following our requests / description. Also not being able to edit an existing flow by adding condition in teh middle of a flow is really not handy (you may add a new condition, but you can't link it to the rest of the flow / you must recreate all the flow from scratch)
good when it works but unintuitive and the AI sidekick or whatever is useless
Confusing devexp. Annoying you can't have draft changes saved. Bizarre testing workflow is: Duplicate prod workflow, edit to point to ngrok for localhost, and then retrigger fulfillment events. I hate writing liquid for the HTTP JSON construction
How to add multiple emails that should receive an automated notification

Hi, thanks for using Flow. You can comma-separate email addresses in the Send Internal Email action.
Please could there be a mechanism to get today's date.

Hi, thanks for using Flow. There are a few ways to get today's date depending on what you need. First, if you are using a "created" trigger, you can use the createdAt time on that resource. Second, Liquid has a "now" tag that will output the current time. If using a schedule, you can also use "scheduledAt".
The app does not perform well enough to understand when things go wrong
Works some of the time, almost always need help from Shopify support to set up.
I wish it gave more guidance on what each function does. I was not sure about the date for the flow and what that means.
Oh, god. Hate the gui. Wish I could just write code.
wish i could programmatically edit flows (e.g. export, edit JSON, re-import) wish i could have multiple triggers (instead of near-identical duplicate flows) wish i could copy-paste nodes wish my whole screen wouldnt constantly shift every time i click on the background to deselect a node
A bot keeps abandoning a large cart . Flow does not stop it or delete it
