Flow: Tag VIPs at a Spend Threshold

/flow-vip-tag  Builds a Shopify Flow that tags a customer 'vip' the moment their lifetime spend passes your threshold.

Add to Sidekick

Add opens your Shopify admin with the skill prefilled; review it there and click Add. If nothing appears, use Copy and follow the steps below.

Personalize before you add

Values come from your store profile when set. Leave a field blank to keep the placeholder and fill it in Sidekick.

The skill

Suggested shortcut: /flow-vip-tag 
Build a Shopify Flow workflow that tags customers as VIP when their lifetime spend reaches [VIP SPEND] [CURRENCY].

## Steps
1. Check that Shopify Flow is installed. If not, tell me how to install it and stop.
2. Design the workflow: trigger "Order paid"; condition "customer total spent is greater than or equal to [VIP SPEND]" and "customer tags does not contain vip"; action "Add customer tags: vip". Add a second action that sends an internal email to the store owner with the customer name and total, only if I confirm I want it.
3. Show the workflow as a short trigger → condition → action list and confirm the threshold and tag name.
4. Ask for approval. Only after a clear yes, create the workflow in Flow. Leave it turned off and tell me where to review and activate it.

## Output
The workflow summary, then "Create this workflow (inactive) in Flow?", then the confirmation with a link.

Do not tag existing customers retroactively in this skill; suggest the VIP segment skill for that. Do not activate the workflow without my say-so.
How to add it to Sidekick
  1. Click Add to Sidekick above. Your Shopify admin opens with the skill ready to review. Click Add. Done.
  2. If the button does nothing in your store: click Copy skill, open Sidekick in your admin, type /, choose Create new skill, name the shortcut flow-vip-tag, paste the text as the instructions, and save.
  3. To run it, type /flow-vip-tag in Sidekick. Sidekick keeps up to 25 skills; manage yours from the skills menu.

What you get

A working Flow that grows your VIP tag automatically from now on, created inactive so you can review it before it runs.

When to use it

After creating a VIP segment with /vip-segment, so new VIPs keep flowing in without a monthly task.

Variations

  • “Also add them to a Shopify Email segment” is automatic if your segment is defined by the tag.
  • “Threshold by order count instead of spend” for low-price stores.

Limits

Flow evaluates on each paid order; customers who crossed the threshold before the workflow existed are not tagged until their next order.
