Prerequisites

• A Shopify store (development or live)
• A notification destination: a Slack workspace, an email address, a Telegram chat, or a Discord channel with an incoming webhook

​

Step 1 — Install Alius

Install Alius from the Shopify App Store. After installation, Alius appears in your Shopify Admin under Apps → Alius. When you open the app for the first time, the Home page displays a setup guide checklist.

​

Step 2 — Connect a Notification Hub

Alius supports four notification hubs: Slack, Email, Telegram, and Discord. Connect at least one before creating triggers. Navigate to Integrations in the left sidebar and follow the steps for your chosen hub: Slack (OAuth):

1. Click Connect to Slack.
2. Authorize on Slack’s OAuth page and click Allow.
3. Once connected, enable the channels where Alius should post and click Save.

Email:

1. Enter an email address in the Email section and click Add Recipient.
2. The recipient must click the verification link sent to that address.
3. Once verified, toggle the recipient to Active.

Telegram:

1. Click Generate Connection Token — the token is valid for 15 minutes.
2. In your Telegram chat, send /connect <token> to the Alius bot.
3. The bot confirms the connection.

Discord:

1. In Discord, open the target channel → Channel Settings → Integrations → Webhooks → New Webhook.
2. Copy the webhook URL.
3. Paste it into the Webhook URL field in the Discord section and click Connect.

​

Step 3 — Send a Test Message

On the Integrations page, click Send test notification for your connected hub. Confirm the message arrives at the destination.

​

Step 4 — Create Your First Trigger

1. Navigate to Triggers in the left sidebar.
2. Click Create Trigger. You’ll land on the template picker page.
3. Choose a pre-built template (e.g., “New Order”) or click Blank Template to start from scratch.
4. Fill in the form:
   • Title: A descriptive name (e.g., “New Order Alert”).
   • Type: Pre-filled if you chose a template — change it if needed.
   • Notification Hub: Select your connected hub.
   • Channels/Recipients: Pick the target channel, email, Telegram chat, or Discord webhook.
5. Click Create Trigger.

Alius will now send a notification every time the selected event occurs.

​

Step 5 — (Optional) Add Conditions

To filter which events trigger a notification — for example, only orders over $100:

1. On the trigger form, click ⊕ under “Additional conditions”.
2. Set:
   • Field: Total Price
   • Operator: Greater than
   • Value: 100
3. Save the trigger.
