Monitor New Automatic Discounts with Instant Email Alerts

Launching a new automatic discount without proper oversight can lead to unintended deep discounts, eroding profit margins or confusing customers. Manually tracking every new discount creation across multiple team members or campaigns is time-consuming and prone to human error, risking overlooked promotions that impact your bottom line.

This Shopify Flow automation immediately addresses this by triggering an internal email alert the moment a new automatic discount is created. It uses the 'Automatic discount created' trigger, then sends a 'Send internal email' action, notifying your team with a clear subject line like 'Automatic Discount Created' so you can promptly verify its details, intent, and impact.

• You have multiple team members with permission to create automatic discounts.
• You frequently run or update promotional campaigns involving new automatic discounts.
• You need immediate financial oversight to protect profit margins from unintended discounts.

1. 1

   Add the 'Automatic discount created' trigger to your Flow.

2. 2

   Connect an 'Action' block and select 'Send internal email'.

3. 3

   Specify the recipient email address(es) for your internal alert.

4. 4

   Set a clear 'Subject' for the email, such as 'New Automatic Discount Created'.

How can I include details about the discount in the email?

You can dynamically add discount name, type, and value to your email subject or body using Flow's variables like `{{ discount.title }}` or `{{ discount.value }}`.

Can this alert go to multiple team members?

Yes, in the 'Send internal email' action, simply enter multiple recipient email addresses separated by commas in the 'To' field.

What if I only want alerts for discounts above a certain value?

You would add a 'Condition' step after the 'Automatic discount created' trigger to check `discount.value` or `discount.percentage` before sending the email, filtering alerts to only specific criteria.

Can I send these alerts to a different platform like Slack?

Absolutely. Instead of the 'Send internal email' action, you can use the 'Send Slack message' action to notify your team directly in a designated channel.
