Feature Request: Metafield value changed trigger in Shopify Flow

[Wyolett]

Hi,

I’m running an active online store and I need a basic automation: when I update an order status metafield, automatically send a transactional email to the customer.

This is impossible in Shopify Flow without paying for a third-party app, because there is no native “Metafield value changed” trigger.

Please add a native metafield change trigger to Flow, supporting at minimum Order, Customer, and Product metafields.

This is a fundamental e-commerce operation, not an edge case. Many merchants need this.

Thank you.

Hi, Flow adds events when they become available to Flow as a webhook. Previously, the only way to know if metafields changes was to use “product/updated” or another update trigger, but that carries many other changes.

Now a new type of trigger exists that enables Flow to get metafield update events, but the API itself is still unstable and not yet ready for Flow. Once it is, Flow will be able to support this (and many other update types)
