Playbooks by tool
Shopify
Shopify is the source of truth for orders, stock, discounts and refunds. Almost every playbook here checks another tool against it, because an ad account or email tool only knows its own side of the sale.
How to connect it
Use a Shopify connector or MCP server for your assistant with read-only scopes if you have one. If not, export orders, products with inventory, and discounts as CSV from the Shopify admin and upload them.
What the assistant reads
Orders, line items, inventory, discount codes, refunds, fulfillment times, shipping zones.
