How it works

Every step, explained

Import the template and this whole chain runs on autopilot — here's exactly what happens on each run.

WooCommerce → Router → Email
5 steps
WooCommerce
TRIGGER
WooCommerce · Order Updated
The workflow starts automatically when an order is updated in WooCommerce. FlowMattic captures that data for the steps below.

LOGIC
Router · 3 paths
The Router checks your conditions and sends each run down the matching path of 3 — Refunded, On hold / dispute, Completed — so different cases get different actions.
Email
ACTION
Email · Send Email
On the “Refunded” path — Email — send an email using built-in WP mail function or custom SMTP. Data is mapped from earlier steps; connect your Email account on import.
Slack
ACTION
Slack · Send Channel Message
On the “On hold / dispute” path — Slack — post or Schedule a new message to a specific #channel. Data is mapped from earlier steps; connect your Slack account on import.
Email
ACTION
Email · Send Email
On the “Completed” path — Email — send an email using built-in WP mail function or custom SMTP. Data is mapped from earlier steps; connect your Email account on import.
