When using the trigger from easyPoints, "Point Balance Update", in Shopify Flow, there are Types in the condition to indicate how the point balance has been updated.
If the type is not indicated with this trigger, point deductions and any kind of point movement will result in the flow triggering. We recommend using type to specify what kind of point adjustment has been made.
Types
Type label | Description |
fulfillment | When orders are fulfilled, and points have changed. |
reward | The reception of a reward. |
manual | Manual point adjustment has been made. |
expiration | Point expired from the expiration date. |
flow | Points adjusted by Shopify Flow. |
csv | Points adjusted by CSV import |
api | Points adjusted with API. |
coupon_reimbursement | Point returns from order cancellations. |
refund | Points deducted from refunds. |
coupon_cancellation | Returning points due to coupon cancellation. |
Reward Types
When the point allotment is a reward, you can specify the reward type with the variable Reward Type.
The variable will be empty if the allotment is anything else other than rewards.
Reward Type label | Description |
signup | Sign up reward |
marketing_opt_in | Marketing opt in reward |
birthday | Birthday reward |
referral | Referral reward |
review | Review reward |
login | Login reward |
Conditions with deduction/ additions
When adjusting points manually, using CSV, API or other types, there could be a chance that the points are not only added but also deducted. So, there are ways to create a condition for adjustments that are additions or deductions.
By adding "Point Value is greater than 0" to the condition, the flow will only activate for added point adjustments.
Just like this, the opposite is also possible with only deductions, so please use the conditions correctly to fit the situation.
easyPoints also provides various variables like Tier and Point balance, which can be used in checks and actions. Check the following article for more information.
