Retry Workflows with Shopify Flow: A How-To Guide

Shopify Updates: 

Introduction to Retry Workflows

Shopify Flow now allows users to retry workflows directly from the app, enhancing flexibility and minimizing errors during automation. This new feature makes troubleshooting and testing workflows easier than ever before.

Steps to Retry Workflows

Retry a Single Workflow

To retry a single workflow, navigate to any workflow run page and click on the Retry button. This action will restart the workflow using the current active version.

Bulk Retry Workflows

For bulk retries, open a workflow and access the workflow run list. Select multiple runs, and you will see a Retry runs option to process them all at once.

How Does Retry Work?

The retry process uses the current active version of the workflow and the original trigger data, including essential identifiers like resource IDs (e.g., product ID). Any conditions or retrievals of data, such as product titles, will be updated dynamically during the retry process. This ensures accurate and up-to-date results.

When Should You Use Retry Workflows?

  • The workflow ran but did not produce the expected outcome, possibly due to a configuration issue or data error.
  • You are testing a newly built workflow and need to re-run it using the same set of test data.
