Shopify Flow

Shopify Flow is a low-code automation tool built by Shopify. With this integration, Avada Order Limit becomes a trigger inside Flow — you can tag the customer, send a Slack or email alert, push the event to Klaviyo or Omnisend, or chain any other app you already use. Don't worry, we'll walk you through every step.

Prerequisites

Avada Order Limit is installed and at least one limit rule is published
Shopify Flow is installed on your store from the Shopify App Store
(Optional) The third-party app you want to connect to

Step 1: Connect Avada Order Limit to Shopify Flow

Open Avada Order Limit and go to Integrations > Shopify Flow from the left menu. You will see two cards: Integrate with any apps and Connect to Shopify Flow.

Locate the Connect to Shopify Flow card
Click the Connect button on the right
Wait for the status badge next to the page title to change from Disconnected to Connected

Connect Avada Order Limit to Shopify Flow

Note: The Create a flow button stays disabled until the integration shows as Connected. If the badge still says Disconnected, refresh the page and try again.

Step 2: Open the Shopify Flow editor

From the same screen, click Create a flow on the Integrate with any apps card. This opens the Shopify Flow editor in a new tab, ready for you to build your automation.

Create a flow from Avada Order Limit

Tip: You can also reach the editor directly from Shopify admin > Apps > Flow > Create workflow, but starting from Avada saves a few clicks because the trigger app is already linked.

Step 3: Choose an Avada Order Limit trigger

In the Flow editor, click the Trigger node, search for Avada Order Limit, and pick one of the three triggers below.

Trigger	Fires when
Limit Max Reached	A customer adds an item to cart and reaches the maximum quantity allowed by your rule
Limit Max Violated	A customer tries to exceed the maximum quantity allowed by your rule
Limit Min Violated	A customer's cart falls below the minimum quantity required by your rule

Pick an Avada Order Limit trigger

Each trigger exposes the same payload, so you can use any of the following fields downstream:

Customer Id, Customer Email
Min value, Max value, Multiple
Rule Name, Rule Type
Product Name, Collection Name

Step 4: Add conditions (optional)

Conditions let you narrow the automation to specific rules or products. Click the + under the trigger and choose Condition.

Common examples:

Run the flow only when Rule Name equals MOQ 20
Run the flow only when Product Name starts with Sample
Run the flow only when Rule Type equals Product Limit

Add a condition node

Tip: Skip this step if you want the automation to run for every limit event — you can always add conditions later.

Step 5: Add the action

Click the + at the end of the branch and choose Action. Pick the app you want to fire — Shopify, Klaviyo, Omnisend, Slack, Google Sheets, or anything else available in your Flow library.

Popular actions for Order Limit events:

Add customer tag — segment customers who keep hitting the max
Send Slack message — alert your team about wholesale violations
Send Klaviyo/Omnisend event — trigger a follow-up email or SMS
Create draft order — convert a max-violated cart into a sales conversation
Update customer metafield — flag VIPs or rule-breakers for later use

Add an action node

Step 6: Name, turn on, and test the flow

Click the flow title at the top and rename it to something descriptive (e.g., Tag wholesale violators)
Click Turn on workflow in the top-right
Open your storefront and trigger the limit rule — for example, add more units than allowed to the cart
Return to Shopify Flow and open the Runs tab to confirm the run completed successfully

Turn on and verify the flow

Important: A flow runs only when both conditions are true — the workflow is On in Shopify Flow, and the integration is Connected in Avada Order Limit. If runs are missing, check both sides.

Managing the integration

Come back to Integrations > Shopify Flow in Avada Order Limit at any time to:

Disconnect — click the Disconnect button on the Connect to Shopify Flow card to pause all Avada triggers in Flow. Existing flows stay saved, they just won't fire.
Reconnect — click Connect again to resume.
Need a hand? — click Let us help under the Create a flow button to chat with our support team about a custom flow.

Tips

Use the Rule Name condition to keep one flow per rule clean — easier to debug than one giant flow with many branches.
If a flow doesn't fire, check the Runs tab in Shopify Flow. A missing run usually means the trigger never matched (wrong rule name, customer not logged in, etc.).
The Customer Email field is empty for guest checkouts. Add a Condition: Customer Email is not empty branch if your action requires an email.
Test each new flow with a draft rule before turning it on for live shoppers — Shopify Flow does not have a sandbox mode.

And there you have it! You've successfully connected Avada Order Limit with Shopify Flow. Every time a customer hits or breaks a limit rule, your automation will take over from there — no manual work required.
