Discount triggers

Workflow Companion can start a Shopify Flow workflow when a discount is created, updated, or deleted, and when a code is added to or removed from a discount. The triggers work for code and automatic discounts of any type.

Available triggers

• Discount created — starts when a discount is created.
• Discount updated — starts when a discount is updated.
• Discount deleted — starts when a discount is deleted.
• Discount code added — starts when a code is added to a code discount, once for each code. Adding codes in bulk starts one run per code.
• Discount code removed — starts when a code is removed from a code discount, once for each code.

How to turn them on

1. In Settings → Triggers, select Manage in the Resource lifecycle row, turn on Discounts, and allow access to discounts when Shopify asks.
2. In Shopify Flow, build a workflow that starts with the trigger you need.

Workflow payload details

Discount created and Discount updated send:

• Discount — the discount:
  • id — its ID, for example gid://shopify/DiscountCodeNode/123456789.
  • legacyResourceId — its numeric ID, for example 123456789. Pass it to Get discount data to read the rest of the discount.
  • kind — CODE for a code discount, AUTOMATIC for an automatic one.
  • title — its title.
  • status — its status: ACTIVE, EXPIRED, or SCHEDULED.
• Occurred at — when Shopify says the discount was created or updated, in ISO 8601 UTC. For example, 2026-09-23T14:05:06.123Z.

On Discount updated, title and status are the ones the discount has after the update.

Discount deleted sends:

• Discount — the deleted discount:
  • id — its ID.
  • legacyResourceId — its numeric ID.
  • kind — CODE or AUTOMATIC.
• Occurred at — when Shopify says the discount was deleted, in ISO 8601 UTC.

Discount code added and Discount code removed send:

• Discount — the code discount:
  • id — its ID.
  • legacyResourceId — its numeric ID.
• Redeem code — the code that was added or removed:
  • id — its ID, for example gid://shopify/DiscountRedeemCode/123456789.
  • code — the code customers enter, for example SUMMER20.
• Occurred at — when Shopify says the code was added or removed, in ISO 8601 UTC.

Important considerations

• A discount that expires at its end date, or starts at its scheduled start date, doesn't start Discount updated.
• Runs aren't guaranteed to start in the order the changes happened. Occurred at says when each one did.
