The problem it solves

You want customers to get a nice order confirmation and your team to know the moment a sale comes in, but Shopify's default emails are basic and checking the dashboard all day isn't practical. Costly messaging tools aren't worth it when you already use email and Slack.

Who it fits

Shopify merchants and small ops or sales teams who want real-time order visibility without extra costs.

How it works

  1. A new order comes in through Shopify
  2. The system formats the order details
  3. A confirmation email is sent to the customer through Gmail
  4. The same order details are posted to your team's Slack channel
What you get

Customers who know their order went through

Your customers get an instant order confirmation and your team gets a Slack alert the moment a Shopify order comes in.

What you get

A customer confirmation email and a Slack alert for your team, both sent automatically per order.

What you need

A Shopify account, a Gmail account, and a Slack account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
