Does Bookbag require a separate Shopify Flow app installation?

No. Shopify Flow is a native Shopify feature available on all plans (with some automation limits on lower tiers). Bookbag accesses Flow through the Shopify Admin API using your existing OAuth connection.

What kinds of automations can Bookbag trigger in Shopify Flow?

Bookbag can trigger any custom Flow you've built — examples include applying customer tags, adding order notes, sending internal notifications, creating draft orders, or escalating to a human agent queue.

Can Shopify Flow trigger Bookbag the other way — sending events to the agent?

Yes. You can configure Shopify Flow to send HTTP requests to Bookbag webhooks when certain store events occur, enabling the agent to proactively contact customers based on Flow-detected conditions.

Is Shopify Flow available on all Shopify plans?

Shopify Flow is available on Basic Shopify and above. The number of workflow runs may vary by plan. Shopify Plus merchants have the highest automation limits and additional Flow connectors.

How does Bookbag pass data to a Shopify Flow trigger?

Bookbag passes order ID, customer ID, and relevant conversation metadata as payload data to the Flow trigger endpoint. Your Flow can then use this data in conditions and actions downstream.

About Shopify Flow

Shopify Flow is Shopify's native workflow automation tool, letting merchants build no-code automations triggered by store events or external signals. Connecting Shopify Flow to Bookbag enables the AI agent to fire Flow triggers as part of resolving a support conversation. For example, when Bookbag identifies a high-value customer requesting a refund, it can trigger a Flow that applies a VIP tag, flags the order for manual review, or sends an internal Slack notification — all without any human involvement. This makes Bookbag not just a response layer, but an active participant in your broader Shopify store operations.

How it works together

Connect Shopify Flow and Bookbag gets the context and reach it needs to resolve more tickets automatically.

Connect via Shopify Admin API with Flow permissions
Bookbag uses your existing Shopify Admin API OAuth connection to interact with Shopify Flow. Enable Flow trigger permissions during the Shopify authorization step to unlock workflow triggering.
Define trigger conditions in Bookbag
Set up rules in Bookbag that define when a Flow should be triggered — for example, when a customer mentions a specific keyword, has an order above a certain value, or requests escalation.
Fire Flow triggers mid-conversation
When the defined conditions are met during a conversation, Bookbag calls the Shopify Flow trigger endpoint, passing relevant order and customer data for the Flow to act on downstream.
Close the loop with Flow-generated outcomes
Configure your Shopify Flows to write back updates — such as adding a customer tag or order note — that Bookbag can then read and reference in the same conversation for a seamless experience.

Benefits

Extend Bookbag's reach into store operations

Bookbag isn't limited to customer-facing replies. By triggering Shopify Flow automations, the agent becomes an active part of your store's operations — tagging accounts, flagging orders, and routing escalations automatically.

No-code automation without engineering effort

Shopify Flow's no-code builder means your operations team can create the workflows and your support team configures when Bookbag fires them — no engineering needed on either side.

Consistent handling for complex operational scenarios

For situations that require store-side action beyond a simple reply — like flagging a suspected fraudulent return or applying a loyalty reward — Bookbag + Flow handles them automatically every time.
