About the Extension

Purpose of the plugin

Flow Builder is a powerful tool for automating workflows and business processes in Shopware. However, the standard version lacks the ability to flexibly define, schedule and centrally manage time-delayed actions.

This plugin extends Flow Builder with a delay action that not only allows flows to be delayed by minutes, hours or days, but also allows them to be executed at a fixed time. In addition to relative delays, it is now possible to specify that a flow should be executed on a specific day of the week or on a fixed calendar day of the month, for example. This allows recurring processes such as payment reminders, status checks or rating requests to be planned precisely.

All delayed flows are displayed in a central overview while they are waiting to be executed. After execution, they are automatically removed from the list. In addition, it is possible to execute waiting flows manually without having to wait for the delay to end. This facilitates testing and short-term adjustments to processes.

In addition, several preconfigured flows, rules, and email templates are provided to cover typical use cases and make it easier to get started. These include payment reminders, automatic status changes, and rating emails after an order has been shipped.

Unverzichtbares Plugin für alle die Workflows automatisieren möchten

Ein absolutes Muss für alle Shopbetreiber, die ihre Workflows automatisieren möchten! Dieses Plugin erweitert den Shopware-Standard basierend auf dem FlowBuilder und bietet die Möglichkeit, zeitverzögerte "Actions" durchzuführen. Dadurch können Bestellstatus und Zahlungsstatus automatisch gesetzt werden, ebenso wie zeitlich verzögerte E-Mails verschickt werden können, wie beispielsweise Zahlungserinnerungen oder Bewertungsanfragen nach erfolgreicher Lieferung und Nicht-Retournierung der Produkte. Dieses Plugin ist praktisch unverzichtbar für jeden Shopbetreiber!
