FEATURES
Free up your time with automations
We have built flow to take care of repetitive tasks on EposNow reliably and automatically. Ready to use templates make it easy to get started in minutes.
Automate
Create flows to run tasks on a schedule automatically or on-demand via our dashboard
Run automatically
You can set a schedule for when your flow should run automatically. Choose from hourly, daily, weekly and monthly options. You can choose the day of the week and hour that the flow should run in your timezone.
Run on demand
Run your flow on demand via our dashboard when needed. Ideal for bulk tasks that you only need to run from time to time.
Fetch the data
Flow can fetch data from Epos Now via the API ready for processing. This includes fetching any related data that you specify, for example, if you are working with order data, it can fetch the customers, locations, location areas, products, suppliers and any other data that is related to the order.
Filter the data
You can use filters for smart targeting so that actions are only applied to data that matches your filters. For example, only perform the actions on orders where the order value is greater than 100, is in the last 30 days at any location within the specified location areas.Â
Text operations
For any text fields, you can apply text operations to them such as changing to upper case, lower case, sentence case and camel case. You can also add prefixes and suffixes. If you need to replace some text, that is possible too. Use these in combination on the same field for more complex operations. For example, change the product name to sentence case, add a prefix, and then replace 'abc' with 'xyz'
Numerical operations
For any numeric fields, you can perform mathematical operations such as add/subtract, add/subtract percentages with more operations being added all the time. You can use these in combination on the same field to perform more complex calculations, for example subtract 5 and then add 10%.
Date operations
For any date and time fields, you can set to a specific date, or add/subtract days or months from the date that is currently set.
Dropdown operations
For certain fields in Epos Now, you can only set a pre-defined value. For example, you can only select a valid category for a product. In this example, with flow, you can select the category that should be set for the product from a searchable dropdown list of categories.
Related Data
Flow understands the relationships between all the Epos Now data types so that you don't have to. For example, it understands how transactions are connected to a customers, products, locations and much more. This allows you to filter by related data as well as take actions such as updating or exporting the related data all within a single flow.
Update the data
Once all the actions have been applied to the records that pass the filters, these can then be updated on Epos Now via the API.
Export the data
Alternatively, you may choose to export the records into a file. This is very useful for backups and also for integrating with other platforms. This can be downloaded as a CSV file and we will be adding more formats such as JSON and XML to this soon. You can choose to have each record in it's own file, or have them all in one file.
Use Cases
Flow is built to be flexible and customisable and has many use cases. The most common ones are listed here.
Repetitive tasks
Are there any tasks that you need to perform on the back office regularly? These are ideal candidates for automation to free up your time and to ensure they run reliably and on time
Bulk updates
Create flows to update data in bulk. With our smart filtering, you can target the data that matches your filters and specify the updates that should apply. For example, update the cost prices by 5% of all products for selected suppliers that are in the specified categories only.
Data exports + backups
Export data from EposNow according to your specifications. You can select which data should be exported including related data. For example, export orders from the last 30 days in completed status and include the customer data in the export.
Integrate with other platforms
Export the data from EposNow in a format that matches the import profile for your other platforms. You can choose the data fields to export, specify the headings (field names) and even transform the data so that the output is ready to import into your other platforms.
