Update
Threshold alerts reach commerce — Shopify and SHOPLINE join, 8 platforms to 10
TL;DR
Alert rules previously covered eight advertising and analytics platforms. Shopify and SHOPLINE now join, so a rule can fire on orders, revenue or average order value — which means store-side problems surface the same way ad-side ones do, instead of being noticed at month end.
What shipped
- Shopify and SHOPLINE as alert platforms, taking the total from eight to ten.
- Orders, revenue and average order value per closed shop-local day, read through the existing sales summaries in the shop's own currency.
- Zero-fill for days with no orders — a stopped store genuinely is a zero, and treating that as missing data would hide exactly the outage you want alerting on.
- A guard against partial data: a store whose order history exceeds the scan bound is recorded as skipped rather than turned into a series built on an incomplete read.
- Storefront-only connections are hidden from the rule picker and refused with an upgrade path, since catalogue-only access can't see orders.
Average order value stays undefined rather than zero when there are no orders — dividing by nothing isn't zero, and an alert rule comparing against it should not fire on a phantom.
Also in this release
- Live task streams reconnect immediately after a clarification instead of waiting for the next poll.
- A plan step that declares no tool is refused rather than silently producing nothing.
- Search Console reads now account for data freshness state.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I get alerted when my store's revenue drops?
- Yes — Shopify and SHOPLINE support threshold rules on orders, revenue and average order value, measured per closed shop-local day in the shop's own currency.
- What happens on a day with no orders?
- It's recorded as zero, because a stopped store genuinely is a zero — treating it as missing data would hide the outage you most want an alert for. Average order value stays undefined rather than zero, since dividing by no orders isn't zero.
- Why can't I select my Shopify store for an alert rule?
- A storefront-only connection can read the public catalogue but not orders, so it's hidden from the picker and refused with the upgrade path. Alerting on orders or revenue needs an Admin-token connection.
