π‘ This document provides guidance on automating tasks based on CREMA Review triggers (Review Created/Published) using Shopify Flow.
Key Summary
- Shopify Flow enables automation of tasks within your store based on specific events.
- The CREMA Review triggers allow you to initiate workflows automatically when a review is submitted or approved.

- For information on CREMA Review actions (e.g., scheduling review requests), please refer to our dedicated guides for each action.
With CREMA Review triggers in Shopify Flow, you can initiate automated workflows the moment a review event occurs. Common use cases include:
- Rewarding positive reviews with loyalty points immediately after they are published.
- Sending follow-up emails to customers who leave a negative review to improve their experience.
β IMPORTANT
- You must ensure that both the CREMA Review app and the Shopify Flow app are installed on your store.
- This guide specifically covers workflows that start with a CREMA Review event as the trigger.
