What is Alius?
Alius is a Shopify app that sends notifications to Slack, Email, and Telegram whenever events occur in your store — new orders, product changes, customer sign-ups, returns, abandoned carts, and more. You define triggers that watch for specific Shopify events, set optional conditions to filter which events qualify, and choose where and when to deliver the notification.How it works
Connect a notification hub
Connect Slack via OAuth, add verified email recipients, or link a Telegram chat using a connection token. Each hub is configured on the Integrations page.
Create triggers
Define which Shopify events to watch, which hub to notify, optional conditions to filter events, and a schedule (instant or batched).
Core Concepts
| Concept | Description |
|---|---|
| Trigger | A rule that defines which Shopify event to watch, where to send the notification, and optional filters and schedule. |
| Condition | An optional filter on a trigger — e.g., “only when Total Price > 50” or “only when Vendor equals Nike”. |
| Template | A reusable message format with dynamic placeholders like {{product.title}} or {{order.totalPrice}}. |
| Integration | A connection to a notification hub: Slack, Email, or Telegram. |
| Schedule | Controls delivery timing: Instant (immediate) or batched (Hourly, Daily, Weekly, Monthly). |
| Snapshot | An internal record of the last known state of a product, order, or customer — used to detect what actually changed. |
| History | A log of all notification delivery attempts with status, recipient, and error details. |
