Create Customers and Companies with Sidekick
Discover the Update: Real-World Impact in Plain English
Shopify’s latest update introduces Sidekick’s ability to create customers and companies using simple language commands. Imagine needing to quickly add a new customer. With Sidekick, all you need to say is, “Create a customer named John Smith with email john@example.com and tag VIP,” and it promptly fills out the necessary forms. Similarly, setting up a new B2B company is as easy as saying, “Create Acme Corp company located at 1234 Holland Drive in Toronto with net-30 terms.” This feature not only streamlines operations but also reduces manual entry errors, enhancing overall efficiency for Shopify users.
Let’s Talk on Tech Side
Sidekick’s technology leverages natural language processing (NLP) to interpret user input and automate customer and company form filling in Shopify. This innovation focuses on adaptability and user experience. When you instruct Sidekick, such as “Create a customer named John Smith…”, the backend processes these commands through an NLP engine, translating them into structured data entries within Shopify’s database. Below is a simplified example:
// Natural language input
const userInput = "Create a customer named John Smith with email john@example.com and tag VIP";
// NLP interpretation to structured data
const customerData = {
"name": "John Smith",
"email": "john@example.com",
"tags": ["VIP"]
};
// API call to Shopify
createCustomer(customerData);
function createCustomer(data) {
// Simulate API call to create customer in Shopify
database.add('customers', data);
}This sleek process reduces the complexity for users, allowing focus on business strategies rather than backend operations.
Business Growth Unleashed: What This Means for Merchants
By simplifying the process of adding customers and companies, Sidekick revolutionizes administrative tasks for Shopify merchants. This update frees up valuable time by reducing data entry tasks, allowing merchants to focus on growth-oriented activities. Additionally, the reduced likelihood of errors ensures a higher quality of customer data, leading to more effective marketing and customer relationship management. As businesses scale, the ability to rapidly onboard customers and partners without hassle becomes crucial, making this update a significant milestone for expanding online merchants.
