Metaobject triggers

Metaobjects are custom structured records: size guides, store locators, ingredient lists, care instructions, and anything else you model yourself. The Metaobject entry updated trigger fires when one of those entries changes.

Setting one up

1. Open Metaobject Triggers in the app navigation.
2. Click Add trigger.
3. Choose the metaobject definition you want to watch.
4. Save.

Editing any entry of that definition now fires Metaobject entry updated in Shopify Flow, carrying the metaobject handle, type, and id.

Permission

Metaobject triggers need Metaobject Data Access (read_metaobjects), which includes access to both definitions and entries. Grant it on the Permissions page.

Typical uses

• Notify the content team when a size guide or care instruction changes.
• Sync a changed store-locator record to an external system.
• Re-run a validation workflow when a structured content record is edited.
