📋 How to Diagnose

  1. 1. Review integration settings (Native App or automation tool)
  2. 2. Check for 'Filter' or 'Conditional' step based on Order Total
  3. 3. Verify threshold is set (e.g., $50+ only)

✓ Solution

Add filter: 'Only notify if Order Total > $50'. Use Make Router (easier) or Zapier Conditional (requires paid plan).
