What changed
Shopify Flow, the built-in tool for automating tasks in your store, has a new "Product updated" trigger. A workflow built on it starts when a product or one of its variants is updated in your shop.
You can choose up to 5 fields to watch, including tags, metafields and prices. The workflow runs only when one of the fields you selected changes.
Why it matters
This gives merchants a way to react automatically when product details change, instead of checking and fixing things by hand. The item's example is setting a metafield value that depends on other fields in the product. That could save time on repetitive product edits, although the item does not list every action a workflow can take.
Because you pick the fields, a workflow only responds to the changes you care about rather than every small edit.
What to do this week
Nothing is required. If you already use Flow, open it and look at the new trigger the next time you build or edit a workflow. If you do not use Flow, you can leave this for now. The item points to Shopify's documentation for building templates and to the Shopify community for questions and feedback.
