Send a Slack message when a wishlist is created

How it works

This workflow runs when a shopper creates a new wishlist in Wysh and posts a message to Slack immediately.

The default message is {{customer.displayName}} has created a Wishlist: {{wishlist.name}}.

Before you start

• Install Shopify Flow and Wysh.
• Connect Slack to Shopify Flow.
• Choose the Slack channel that should receive wishlist notifications.

Install the workflow

1. Download the ZIP and extract wysh_slack_wishlist_created.flow.
2. In Shopify Flow, choose Import workflow.
3. Select the extracted .flow file.
4. Open the Slack action and choose a destination channel.
5. Review the message, then save without switching the workflow on.

Customise the workflow

Edit the message to suit the channel and the way your team works. Keep the customer and wishlist variables if staff need to identify the shopper and list.

You can also route the message to a dedicated merchandising, customer service or marketing channel.

Enable and test

1. Use a test customer in the storefront.
2. Create a list using Create New List from My Wishlist or My Lists.
3. Confirm one message reaches the intended Slack channel with the correct customer and wishlist name.
4. Turn the workflow on only after the test succeeds.

What Slack receives

By default, the message contains the customer's display name and the new wishlist name. It does not include product details because the trigger represents creation of the list itself.

Troubleshooting

• No message: confirm the Slack connection and destination channel in the action.
• Blank values: create a fresh test list with a named customer and review the Flow run output.
• Wrong channel: reopen the Slack action and select the intended destination.
