Review moderation notice

When a new review comes in as a draft, you get told there is one to approve.

How it runs.

A Webflow form writes a metaobject; Shopify Flow takes it from there.

  2. Action

    Send an internal email with the rating, the product, the author, the text and a link to the review in your Shopify admin

Active-draft status on: entries wait as drafts
Storefronts access on: the site shows the entries

Each field's key is the Name of a field in the Webflow form, written exactly the same.

How to install
  1. Install Shopify Flow from the Shopify App Store. It is free in Shopify, but it is a separate app.
  2. In Shopify, create the metaobject definition review with the fields below. Turn on Active-draft status and Storefront access.
  3. Switch on the Metaobject creator add-on in the Smootify dashboard.
  4. Place the Smootify element in Webflow: metaobject-creator with data-type=review and data-draft.
  5. Download the .flow file and import it in Shopify Flow.
  6. Set the definition to Active-draft status, so new reviews wait as drafts until you publish them.
  7. After the import, open the trigger and check that it is set to the review definition.
  8. Test it once with a real submission or order, then turn the flow on.

Where people get stuck.

  1. 01

    data-draft is what makes moderation possible. Without it there is nothing to moderate: the review is already live.

  2. 02

    Without Storefront access on the definition, approved reviews still do not show on the site.

Get the .flow file.

In Shopify Flow, choose Import and pick the file. The workflow opens turned off: check that it reads your metaobject definition and its field keys, then turn it on.

In the email step, put your own address. The link to the review in the email points to an example store: replace smootify-app in admin.shopify.com/store/smootify-app/… with your store’s name, as it shows in the address of your Shopify admin.
