How to tag an order that has been refunded
To identify orders that have been refunded, you will need to select our when a refund is issued workflow trigger when creating your workflow. This trigger will then listen out for the refunds/create webhook from Shopify:

Will this work with Backdating?
If you'd like to tag previous orders that meet your selected criteria for the refund trigger, then why not run a backdating job?
