The problem it solves

When orders come in, your team needs to know right away to start fulfillment, but constantly checking the Shopify admin isn't practical. Delayed awareness of new sales means slower order processing and a worse customer experience.

Who it fits

Small to medium e-commerce businesses that want their team to see sales the moment they happen.

How it works

  1. Triggered the instant a new order is placed on your Shopify store
  2. Pulls the customer details, order number, and total
  3. Formats the information into a clear message
  4. Posts the notification to your team's Slack channel with a link to the order
