Create the right flow

Hello everyone,

Can someone please help me. I would like to create the following in the app flow.

When an order is created the flow needs to check if there is a VAT exemption. If so, the VAT number must be copied from the additional data box to the customer notes box.

This is necessary to process the VAT code in the accounting link.

Thank you very much in advance!

Kind regards,

Tjebbe

FYI, if you are a merchant, this community is a better place for questions.

I think this screenshot is from an Order.

If so, the data is under order / customAttributes. The key is Vat Number and value is DE 1403xxx

To update the note, use Update Order Note action and put the existing note + the customAttribute you want there.

This template basically does exactly that: https://shopify.com/admin/apps/flow/editor/templates/888b29d0-2ebd-4304-b94f-894d99af85d1

Hi Paul,

Thank you very much for your reply!
I am a Shopify partner (still quite new). Did you think this because of my question? A customer asked me to connect the accounting program but it can’t only read out the Tax number from the order number and the apps I use doesn’t do that.
I am not yet skilled with these kinds of automations because I’ve never used them. I tried multiple combinations, but they did not work. I reached out to support, but they directed me here.

I’ve tried your template, and it takes the right keys/values but doesn’t place them in the note field.

Thank you again.

Regards,

Tjebbe

You need to update the template to match your own situation. You have placeholder key’s and value’s in the condition and the action

Thank you @paul_n ! I’ve adjusted it and now it is working.
