Triggers & Filters

Order triggers and line item filters are at the heart of what makes Smart Order Notifications so powerful.

Order Triggers
Order triggers are the rules that tell Smart Order Notifications to send a notification for a given order or to include the order in a batch. The triggers are used to analyse properties of an order and determine if they qualify as a match or not. The following order properties can be used to trigger a notification but we're adding new triggers all the time so if you have a suggest, please just ask.

Line item property
Line item properties are used by Shopify theme and app developers to allow for extra contextual information to be added about a line item. For example a personalisation app might use it to take names and custom engraving messages. Whilst theme developers might add a line item property to avoid adding more variants e.g. shipping an electrical device with a UK , US or European power supply. Line item properties are key value pairs and you will be asked to provide a key and value for the line item property you'd like to match. An example of a line item property might be a key of power-supply-type is equal to UK.
Line item fulfilment location name
Trigger the notification based on the name of the location fulfilling a line item on the order. For example, if you have Warehouse 1 and Warehouse 2 set up as locations in Shopify you can trigger emails based on these values.
Line Item Filters
Line item filters are the rules that determine which line items should appear in the notification. For example, if you're triggering by product SKU to send to supplier, it's likely that you'll also want to filter the line items that appear in the email by product SKU in order that the supplier only receives the salient items.
