Use Shopify Flow to notify your team when a discount set import completes. After the workflow is configured and turned on, it automatically runs whenever a future discount set import finishes.
This Shopify Flow workflow can notify your team through multiple services so they know when the import process is complete.
You can send the notification using:
Internal announcement email
Slack
Asana
Trello
POST
Requirements
Before configuring any of these workflow:
Shopify Flow must be installed in your Shopify store
Slack must be connected to Shopify Flow for Slack notifications
Asana must be connected to Shopify Flow for Asana tasks
Trello must be connected to Shopify Flow for Trello cards
Once the workflow is enabled, it will run automatically for all future discount set imports.

The default email includes:
The discount set name
The number of codes imported
This workflow defaults to notifying the discount set name and the number of codes imported in the email.
Add the email addresses that should receive the notification. You can include multiple recipients, so multiple team members receive the message when the import completes.

FAQs
Can I send notifications to multiple people?
Yes. Internal email notifications can include multiple recipients.
Why isn’t Slack posting to my channel?
Ensure the FlowBot app is added to the Slack channel.
Do I need to connect external services first?
Yes. Slack, Asana, and Trello must be installed and connected to Shopify Flow before the workflow can use those actions.
Does the workflow notify past imports?
No. The workflow runs only after it has been turned on and will apply to future discount set imports.
