About the Extension

The Flow Builder is a useful and powerful tool for automated workflows and business processes. However, in the standard version, the option to define delayed functions is missing.

We have therefore developed a plugin that offers the following functions:

Add a new delay action to the flow
To insert a delay into the flow, this plugin allows you to add a new action. This can then be configured as desired. Minutes, hours, and days are available for the delay.

Clear management of all delays
In addition to the General and Flow tabs in the Flow Builder, the plugin adds an additional tab called the Delayed Sequences tab. Here all used delays are displayed and the settings can be specified. More details can be found in the configuration instructions.

Included flows, rules and email templates
The plugin comes with several useful flows, rules, and email templates. A detailed description can be found in the configuration instructions.

Das Team von Acris kommuniziert völlig umkompliziert und bietet schnelle Hilfe.
Ich würde beim Support sogar mehr Sterne geben, wenn das möglich wäre.
Da können sich Andere eine Scheibe von abschneiden.

TOP! Grüße nach Linz

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!
