Create a Parabola Flow to run whenever it receives a supplier email with a CSV attachment. From there, clean up the data with a few easy transforms (think: find and replace a few values, update the casing on the titles, and filter out the products that you no longer carry). Then, connect it to update Shopify by mapping columns to fields. Once finished, this Flow will run every time an email comes in, fully automating the process.

For example: your manufacturing facility runs out of a key material and can't get more for another two weeks. Just hop into your Google Sheet and zero out the items that use that material – your Parabola Flow will make sure Shopify is also zeroed out, so no new orders can come in for that product.

Your Flow can be built to fit your exact situation – trigger it from an email with a CSV attachment, upload an Excel file, or connect directly to another tool. Add custom logic to handle items where the refund isn't straightforward, or exclude items that are non-refundable.

In a Flow, pull in unfulfilled orders, filter for those that are customized or made-to-order, and update the relevant information in a Google Sheet shared with your manufacturing partner. You can also add a few easy steps to your Flow that ensure an item has not been sitting unfulfilled for too long. If it has, fire off an automatic email to yourself and anyone else who needs to know.

Build a Flow that moves products in and out of a manual collection based on which products are top sellers, or which products match the season. Or add and remove tags so that your smart collections in Shopify move the products around for you, based on their tags.

Build Flows that properly adjust the inventory levels of the base products in any bundle ordered, split out the ordered bundle into individual items for fulfillment, and create reports that accurately reflect your business from bundles.

Want to send alerts to multiple channels, based on multiple conditions? Parabola Flows can handle multiple destinations and logical branches, so it's easy to do in a single Flow.

Build a Flow that calculates dynamic inventory level alerts and fires off purchase orders as your items reach their own threshold. That threshold could even be adjusted to account for high or low demand months.
