Auto-Assign Fulfillment Locations for Tagged Shopify Orders

This step automatically captures all order data when a customer completes their purchase. MESA monitors your Shopify store continuously and triggers this workflow for every new order that comes in. The trigger collects order details including customer information, line items, order tags, and fulfillment requirements. No configuration is needed - this step runs automatically and passes the complete order data to the next step for tag filtering.

You'll configure this step to check if the incoming order contains your target tag that signals a fulfillment location change. In the "What is the tag on the order?" field, enter the exact tag name you use to identify orders needing special fulfillment routing (for example, "Shopify POS" for point-of-sale orders or "Warehouse B" for specific location routing). The filter compares the order's tags against your specified value and only allows matching orders to proceed to the fulfillment steps. Orders without the target tag stop here and remain at their default fulfillment location.

MESA automatically retrieves all fulfillment orders associated with the tagged order from your Shopify store. This step queries Shopify's fulfillment order API using the order ID from step 1 and collects the fulfillment order details including current location assignment, line items, and fulfillment status. The retrieved fulfillment order ID becomes the target for the location move in the final step. This data retrieval happens automatically without any configuration needed from you.

You'll configure the destination location by entering your target location ID in the "What is the location ID?" field. To find your location ID, go to Settings > Locations in your Shopify admin and copy the ID from the URL when viewing the specific location (it appears after "/locations/" in the browser address). The step uses the fulfillment order ID from the previous step and moves it to your specified new location. Once complete, the order appears in the new location's fulfillment queue and gets removed from the original location's pending orders.
