Are you looking for an easy way to notify your store admin of new draft orders?

With these automatic notifications, you no longer have to keep checking your store admin for new draft orders.
Below, you’ll see a step-by-step guide on how to create internal notifications for new draft orders.
The Use Case
On 07-31-2020, KOVIKO posted in the Shopify Forum that he would like Shopify to email store admins when a draft order is generated.
