Frequently asked questions:
What is a template?
Templates are pre-made workflows by our team of experts. Instead of building a workflow from scratch, these have all the steps needed to complete the task.

Yes, check out our Expert Workflow Setup. We'll collaborate with you to craft the perfect workflow so you're up and running with confidence.
How this template works:
Monitor Shopify orders for new records
First, the workflow checks your Shopify Orders database hourly for newly created orders.
Analyze daily order totals and discounts
A query is run to calculate daily order totals and discount amounts. It also computes the percentage of discounts applied to the total sales for each day.
Format data for AI analysis
The results are formatted into a structured dataset, making it easier to identify patterns or anomalies in the discount percentages.
AI checks for unusual discount rates
The AI compares the calculated daily discount rate against a baseline (assumed to be 10% if not specified). If the discount rate exceeds this threshold, it flags the day as potentially abusive.
Filter for coupon abuse detection
If the AI determines that abuse has occurred, the workflow proceeds to notify you. If no abuse is detected, no further actions are taken.
Send a Slack notification
When coupon abuse is flagged, the workflow sends a message to your designated Slack channel with an alert: "Coupon code abuse detected."
