Automations you don’t have to build.
Shopify Flow reacts to what happens in your store. These are the flows that pair with Smootify elements, each with its trigger, what it needs and where people get stuck. Most come as a .flow file you import; the two booking flows install as templates of the Smootify app.
Backend, without writing a backend.
Most of these flows run on the same loop. Webflow writes, Shopify keeps, Flow reacts, Smootify reads back. None of it needs a server of your own.
- 01
Webflow writes
A normal Webflow form with the metaobject creator. Each input name matches a field key.
metaobject-creator - 02
Shopify keeps
The entry becomes a real metaobject: in your admin, linked to products and customers.
metaobject - 03
Flow reacts
Shopify Flow fires on a trigger, checks conditions, and sends, tags or updates.
Shopify Flow - 04
Smootify reads back
The same data shows on your site with elements you already use.
smootify-metaobjects
Some flows start in Shopify instead of a form: an order is fulfilled, stock comes back, a quote arrives. Same last three steps.
The library.
22 flows, each with its trigger, conditions and actions. 20 can be imported from a file; the booking flows are templates of the Smootify app, installed from Shopify Flow’s Templates.

Product questions and answers
A question asked on a product page reaches you by email and joins the product’s list; once you answer it and make it active, Shopify Flow tells the customer who asked.

Gift list link
When a customer creates a gift list with a form, Shopify Flow emails them the link to share it, and tells you.

Gift list: count the gifts
When an order is paid, Shopify Flow adds the units bought from a gift list to the list, so its page shows “2 of 6 gifted” and closes what is complete.

Gift card at any amount
The customer chooses the amount of a gift and who receives it; once the order is paid, Shopify Flow creates a Shopify gift card of that amount for the recipient, and Shopify emails them the code with the message.

EU withdrawal request
A customer withdraws from the contract with a form on your site; Shopify Flow sends them at once the acknowledgement of receipt the EU rule asks for, with what they sent and the time it was received, then marks the order and tells your shop.

What every flow needs.
Shopify Flow
A separate app from Shopify, free in Shopify. Install it once; every flow here is imported or built inside it.
Shopify App StoreThe Server plan, for forms
When a form writes a metaobject or a quote becomes a draft order, the Smootify server does the writing. Flows that start in Shopify do not need it.
See plansA metaobject definition
Created in Shopify before the form, with a key for each form field. Active-draft status only to approve entries before they show, Storefront access only when the site shows them.
