Sidekick is the assistant in your Shopify admin. You ask it questions in your own words, and apps can give it their own data to answer from.

Atomato gives Sidekick read-only access to your NotiFeed, NotiPop, NotiSell and NotiEmail campaigns. Sidekick can find a campaign, explain what each message says, report results, rank your best campaigns and share a link that opens the campaign in the Atomato editor. Creating, editing, pausing and ending campaigns still happens in Atomato.

Sidekick only reads. It can't create, edit, pause, end or delete a campaign, and Atomato doesn't send it Theme Launcher schedules, a message's customer segments or targeting rules, or the email addresses and phone numbers shoppers give. Answers cover only your store. Days are counted in UTC. See Ask Shopify Sidekick about your Atomato campaigns.

SETUP

Start using Sidekick in four steps

There is nothing to connect. Sidekick's Atomato tools come with the app on every plan.

Sidekick finds campaigns by Campaign name, type or status. Give each campaign a name you will remember and click Save campaign. If part of a name matches several campaigns, use the full name.

03

Ask Sidekick

FAQ

Questions about Sidekick and Atomato

Short answers on what Sidekick can see, what it can change and how its numbers compare with Atomato.

Can Sidekick change my campaigns?

No. Sidekick only reads your Atomato campaigns. To create, edit, pause, end or delete a campaign, use the link Sidekick shares or open Atomato under Apps in your Shopify admin. To pause, end or delete one, see Pause, end, duplicate or delete a campaign.

Which campaigns can it see?

NotiFeed, NotiPop, NotiSell and NotiEmail campaigns, including NotiSMS signups, which are built as NotiEmail campaigns. Theme Launcher schedules are not included, so check those on the Campaigns page in Atomato.

Does Sidekick work on every plan?

Yes, Starter included. Sidekick can only report on the campaigns you have: NotiSell comes with Scale and Enterprise+, and NotiEmail and NotiSMS with Enterprise+. Legacy paid plans such as Grow and Pro keep them too. On Starter, Atomato records impressions and clicks only, so engagement rate there counts clicks alone. See pricing.

Why might Sidekick's numbers differ from Atomato's?

They are counted differently. The store summary always covers the last 7 days in UTC, today included, and its revenue only counts orders that include a product added to cart from NotiSell. For one campaign, impressions, clicks, both rates and add-to-carts are running totals, not totals for the dates you ask about. Of a single campaign's numbers, only NotiEmail submissions and signups follow your dates. A single campaign's impressions and clicks are also unique counts, while rankings and the store summary count every impression and click. To see a campaign over chosen dates, pick them on its Campaign summary page in Atomato, as shown in See how a campaign and each message performed.

Can Sidekick tell me who sees a message?

No. Sidekick doesn't get a message's customer segments or targeting rules. Check Customer Segments and Target visitors based on in the campaign editor.

What if two campaigns have similar names?

Use the full campaign name. When part of a name matches more than one campaign, the full name helps Sidekick pick the right one.

How are click-through and engagement rates worked out?

Click-through rate is clicks divided by impressions. Engagement rate adds hovers and dismissals to clicks, then divides by impressions. Ask Shopify Sidekick about your Atomato campaigns covers the rest.

Run your campaigns in Atomato, check on them in Sidekick.

Show targeted on-site messages alongside your popup, email and SMS tools, then ask Sidekick what is running and how it is doing.
