Magento 2 SmartFlows

Every store needs dozens of third-party extensions and connectors to sync data to CRMs, automate notifications and much more. We aim to solve this problem with a highly flexible, visual workflow automation engine, like n8n.

SmartFlows for Magento 2 is a visual workflow automation engine, built natively for Magento 2. You can connect a trigger to a chain of actions on a drag-and-drop canvas. When an order is placed, a customer registers, or stock runs low, your workflow runs automatically: fetch data, check a condition, branch, call an external API, send an email, update the order. No custom coding, no deployments, no waiting.

Using this extension, you can:

• Automate repetitive admin work and free up your team

• Eliminate manual errors with consistent, rule-based processes

• Connect Magento to any external platform via webhooks and HTTP

• Change business logic yourself, without a developer or a redeploy

• Audit everything with a full execution log for every run

Features of Meetanshi SmartFlows for Magento 2

• Visual node-and-edge builder - Map automations on a drag-and-drop canvas where data flows from a trigger through actions, logic, and transformations.

• Event-driven triggers - Fire workflows on native Magento events like new order, order status change, customer registration, login, product save, invoice, shipment, credit memo, payment, and stock changes.

• Incoming webhooks - Trigger any workflow from an external system with an HTTP POST; the request body, method, and headers are available inside your flow.

• File-upload triggers - Accept CSV, JSON, XML, or TXT uploads and parse them automatically (CSV rows become a ready-to-use array) for bulk processing.

• Magento action nodes - Fetch orders, customers, products, and categories; update or check stock; create invoices and shipments; cancel or refund orders; assign categories and customer groups; update order/customer/product data.

• Logic & control nodes - Branch with If and Switch conditions, and pause a flow with a Delay node.

• Data transformation nodes - Set, merge, filter, map, aggregate, and split data as it moves through the workflow.

• Communication & system nodes - Send dynamic HTML emails, make custom REST/GraphQL/SOAP HTTP requests to third-party endpoints, and write to Magento logs.

• Twig-like expression engine - Reference live data anywhere, including outputs from earlier nodes.

• Secure custom-code node - Developers can run sandboxed PHP snippets with a strict whitelist that blocks shell, filesystem, and superglobal access.

• REST API - Create, read, list, delete, and trigger workflows programmatically, and pull the latest execution status.

• Extensible node SDK - Add your own node types in two steps (a PHP class + a di.xml entry) to fit any custom process.

• Full execution logging - Every run is recorded with step-by-step data, timings, and pass/fail status for easy auditing and debugging.

• Automatic log cleanup & retries - Configurable log retention with a daily cleanup cron, plus optional automatic retries for transient API failures.

No-Code Automation, Developer-Grade Power

SmartFlows is built for two audiences at once. Store managers get a visual builder where triggers, conditions, and actions are just nodes you connect - no syntax to learn. Developers get an expression engine, a sandboxed code node, a REST API, and a clean SDK to register custom nodes. You can start with point-and-click automations and drop down to code only where you actually need it.

Connect Magento to Anything

With incoming webhooks, outbound HTTP nodes, and file-upload triggers, SmartFlows turns Magento into the hub of your operations. Push order data to a CRM, pull inventory from an ERP, accept a partner's CSV feed, or react to an event in another app - all without bolting on a separate integration extension for every connection.

Automate the Work You're Doing by Hand Today

A few examples of what a single workflow can do automatically:

• When an order over a set value is placed, tag the customer as VIP and email the team.

• When stock drops below a threshold, fire a webhook to your supplier and log it.

• When an order is paid, auto-create the invoice, capture payment, and notify the warehouse.

• When a partner uploads a CSV, parse it, map the rows, and update product data in bulk.

Built on Native Magento Standards

SmartFlows uses Magento's own extension points, observers, cron, web API, and admin controllers, so it behaves like a first-class part of your store. Workflows and execution logs are stored in dedicated tables, and the engine resolves each flow safely with cycle protection and detailed tracing.
