The problem it solves

You or your team keep refreshing the Shopify dashboard to see if new orders have come in, which pulls attention away from everything else. Warehouse and sales staff find out about new orders late, which slows down fulfillment and follow-up.

Who it fits

E-commerce teams who want sales and fulfillment staff to know about new orders the moment they happen.

How it works

  1. A new order is placed in your Shopify store
  2. The system pulls the order number, customer, address, and item list
  3. It checks the current payment status
  4. A formatted message is posted to your team's Slack channel
What you get

Orders your team hears about the instant they happen

Your team sees every new Shopify order the moment it comes in, with the customer, address, and items ready in Slack.

What you get

A Slack message in your chosen channel with full order details for every new sale.

What you need

A Shopify store with API access and a Slack workspace.

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.
