# Tag products when they are unpublished from the Online Store

When a product is unpublished from the Online Store sales channel, add the tag unpublished-online-store, so products that silently dropped off the storefront are easy to find and ads pointing at them can be paused.

One trigger, built-in Shopify actions only, no other app needed. Nothing in it is specific to a store, so it works as soon as it is imported.

![The workflow in Shopify Flow: Tag products when they are unpublished from the Online Store](https://cdn-dev.eu.codecreationlabs.cloud/crm-tool/uploads/SjJ78gKLnLlocopCui3Cs62dJbGZ7F1n/b51273ced085d567.png)
*The complete workflow as it looks in Shopify Flow.*

## What it needs

- The app's permission **Publications Data Access + Product, Variant & Collection Data Access**. See [Permissions and data access](https://docs.workflow-trigger-extensions.app/permissions-and-data-access.md).
- Nothing else: turning the workflow on switches the trigger **Product Unpublished from Channel** on in the app.

Install the Workflow Trigger Extensions app and grant Publications Data Access and Product, Variant & Collection Data Access on its Permissions page. Turning this workflow on switches the trigger on in the app.

## Get the workflow

1. Download the `.flow` file attached at the bottom of this page.
2. In your Shopify admin open **Flow**, click **Import** and choose the file.
3. Check the steps, then click **Turn on workflow**.

The file is an export from Shopify Flow itself. Do not edit it by hand; change the workflow in Flow after importing it.

## How it works

1. **Product Unpublished from Channel** lists the channels a product was removed from in `channels.removed`.
2. The **Condition** continues when at least one of them is named `Online Store`.
3. **Add product tags** puts `unpublished-online-store` on the product.

## Make it yours

- Change the channel name to `Point of Sale`, `Shop` or a marketplace.
- Add **Send internal email** so whoever runs ads can pause them.
