Altera now plugs into Shopify Sidekick, the AI assistant built into your Shopify admin. Describe what you need in plain language and Sidekick handles the Altera side for you, no need to open the app first.
🚀 What’s New#
- Sidekick integration - Ask about Altera right inside Shopify admin, from the Sidekick chat.
- Conversational exports - Say “export all my orders as a CSV” and Sidekick opens a pre-filled export for you to review and run.
- Specific records and filters - Ask to export this product, last week’s orders, or just the columns and metafields you want.
- Job status at a glance - Ask about your recent imports and exports and get the latest status with a link to the job.
- Quick downloads - Ask for the file from a finished export and Sidekick hands you a download link.
- Built-in help - Ask how-to questions or what an error code means, answered from the Altera help center.
Exports never start on their own, so you always review the pre-filled setup and click Start export yourself. See the Sidekick guide to get started.
