Running a store means making fast decisions, and that’s only possible when your team has the right information at the right time. Slack keeps everyone connected, but if you’re manually posting updates from Shopify, you’re wasting valuable time.
Arigato changes that. With a direct integration between Shopify and Slack, you can automate updates, alerts, and internal messages based on live store activity. Whether you’re monitoring inventory, tracking orders, or sending daily summaries, your team gets real-time visibility without logging into the Shopify admin.
Why connect Shopify to Slack?
Stay updated without checking dashboards
Shopify has limited notification features, especially for operational events like low inventory, product uploads, or fulfillment issues. Most stores rely on someone to check reports manually or email updates across teams.
Connecting Slack gives you a direct line between store activity and your team. You can send targeted, relevant messages into the right channels when something important happens — no copy/paste required.
Act faster with better context
The more your team knows, the faster they can respond. A Slack alert for low inventory can trigger a restock before you sell out. A daily sales update can inform marketing or ops without waiting for an end-of-week summary.
It’s not just about saving time. It’s about staying proactive.
How Arigato connects Shopify to Slack
Arigato acts as your Shopify automation engine. When something happens in your store, Arigato can send a structured message to any Slack channel you choose — complete with customer data, product info, or order details.
Trigger messages from any store event
Arigato can listen for events like:
- Orders being placed, refunded, or canceled
- Products being created or updated
- Inventory dropping below a custom threshold
- A customer being tagged or segmented
- Scheduled reports at specific times
These triggers give you control over when messages go out. You’re not spamming your team — just keeping them informed.
Customize each message using Shopify data
You can pull in dynamic variables from Shopify into your Slack message. For example:
- Customer name
- Order value or line items
- Product inventory level
- Tags, vendors, or metafields
Messages can be formatted clearly, sent to public or private channels, and even mention specific team members.

Five workflows you can automate with Slack right now
1. Send a daily sales summary
Every morning, post a snapshot of yesterday’s orders — including total revenue, number of orders, and top-selling products. Your team starts the day aligned.
2. Get alerted when stock runs low
Don’t wait for a stockout. Trigger a Slack alert when inventory drops below a set threshold for specific products or collections.
Try the workflow → Low stock alert for collections
Try the workflow → Threshold-based inventory alert
3. Notify admins of out-of-stock products once a day
Instead of constant pings, post one consolidated message each day with all out-of-stock items. This helps inventory and merchandising teams stay ahead.
4. Use AI to scan product images and flag issues
Arigato can connect to an AI model that scans product images and detects missing or incorrect objects. When something looks off, your creative team gets a Slack notification.
5. Create your own Slack alerts for internal processes
Want to notify customer support when a high-value order comes in? Or ping the ops team when a new product goes live? Arigato gives you the flexibility to build your own rules and customize the message content.
Why Arigato + Slack works better than email or apps
Messages land where your team already works
Slack is where your team is — not email, not reports, and definitely not another tab in the Shopify admin. Alerts are more likely to be seen, acted on, and remembered.
Alerts are part of a larger workflow
Slack notifications can be combined with other actions. You can tag a product, delay a follow-up, send a webhook, or update a note, all in the same automation.
This keeps your internal processes consistent and efficient.
Conclusion: Smarter Shopify alerts inside Slack
Shopify teams move fast. Arigato helps you move faster by putting the right updates into the channels your team already checks. Whether it’s tracking sales, monitoring inventory, or flagging visual content issues, your store can now speak directly to your team — automatically and in real time.
