Shopify Flow workflows can now be managed by an AI agent

Shopify Flow runs automatic routines in your store, such as tagging an order when it meets certain conditions. These routines are called workflows. Shopify now lets an external AI agent manage them through AI Toolkit, so you can describe a change in plain words and let the agent make it.

What the agent can do

  • Create, update and delete workflows.
  • Turn workflows on or off.
  • List your workflows or open a single one.
  • Turn a Flow file into the form Shopify uses.

This covers your own store only. Third-party apps cannot use these automation features directly. An app that wants direct access needs a special scope that Shopify must approve.

What to do this week

Nothing yet, unless you already use an AI agent with your store. If you do, ask it to install or update the Shopify skill from AI Toolkit. Before you let it change anything, open your current Flow workflows and note which ones matter most, so you can check the agent's changes against them.
