- Triggers - change the order status.
Go to the Online Store section > Orders > Automation rules.
Click the Configure automation rules button to configure the automation rules and triggers.
How does the automation rules work?
An automation rule gets activated when the order status is changed for the status where the automation rule is added. As soon as the order is moved to another status, the previous order status's automation rules stop working.
All automation rules have an option after the previous automation rule. It's a good idea to enable this option if you need to perform several sequential actions. For example, generate an order number and send it to the client immediately. If the option is disabled, then all automation rules at the current order status will work simultaneously.
