VTEX trigger nodes let you start automations in Advanced Flow Builder based on order activity in your VTEX store, or run scheduled backfills to process existing orders in bulk. This helps sales, support, and operations teams sync order data, notify customers, and route tasks automatically.
In this article, we will guide you through adding and configuring three VTEX triggers in Advanced Flow Builder.
 

VTEX orders created

The “VTEX orders created” trigger runs the flow automatically whenever a new order is placed in your connected VTEX store. Use this trigger when you want to take immediate action on new orders—for example, sending order confirmations, alerting your team about high-value purchases, or creating corresponding records in SleekFlow.

Here are a few ways you can leverage this trigger:

• Send order confirmations
  • Trigger automated WhatsApp or SMS messages to customers as soon as their order is placed.
• Notify internal teams
  • Alert sales or operations staff when a new order is created, especially for VIP customers or high-value purchases.
• Create or update customer records
  • Automatically sync new order details to SleekFlow contact profiles or custom objects for unified customer data.

Set up "VTEX order is created" trigger node

You can follow the steps below to set up the “VTEX orders created” trigger node:

1. Click on the node to open up its form, which will appear on the right side of the screen.
2. The node form contains the following fields for you to set up the trigger:
   1. Setup tab
      1. Store: Select the connected VTEX store that you would like to set up this trigger with. If you haven’t connected to a VTEX store, follow the steps in this Help Center article to connect one.
         
         
          
   2.  Filter tab
      1. Enrollment conditions: When toggled on, you can set specific conditions at the Filter tab that the order must meet in order to be enrolled into the flow. For example:
         1. Order total value ≥ USD 200
         2. Order status = “is confirmed”
         3. Payment method = “credit card”
