How it sells itself

Important store events shouldn't get lost in a busy inbox. Autolert lets you build no-code rules that route the right event to the right person: new orders, low stock, refunds, returns, new customers and more, sent to Slack, email or a webhook. Add conditions and Then/Otherwise branching so each rule matches how your team works.

StaffSignal sends real-time alerts to your team when important events occur in your store. Choose who gets notified and how — via Email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp, Discord, or Telegram. Set up custom rules to route the right alerts to the right staff member. Track every notification in the delivery log so nothing slips through. Works out of the box. No coding required.

Key points
  • Route alerts to Slack, email, or a webhook, several destinations per rule
  • Trigger on new orders, low stock, refunds, returns, new customers & more
  • Send only what matters to exactly the right person or team, no code
  • Dry-run any rule against a sample before you turn it on
  • Real-time alerts via Email, Slack, Teams, WhatsApp, Discord & Telegram
  • Custom rules to route the right event to the right staff member
  • Supports 7 store events: orders, cancellations, refunds & more
  • Full notification delivery log with status tracking

How Shoplist compares apps

Store counts come from Shoplist’s crawl of Shopify storefronts, which detects the apps each store runs; they are as of Oct 13, 2026. Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
