Shopify Sidekick can read your Glide traffic and answer questions in Shopify admin. There’s nothing to set up - Sidekick uses Glide’s tools automatically once Glide is installed. Sidekick access is read only. It can’t change Glide or your store, and Glide has no Sidekick change path.

​
What you can ask

  • Traffic report - page view totals and a daily series for the last 1, 7, 30, 90, 180 or 365 days (default 30). The 1-day window is hourly. Sidekick compares points to spot spikes in Suspect, Bots or Agents traffic.
  • Top pages, page types, countries and sources - the top 10 of each, plus an other entry for the rest.
  • Recent page views - the latest 1 to 50 (default 20), newest first, with page, country, device, UTM source and classification. No visitor identities.
  • Tracking status - whether data is arriving (receiving, no_recent_data or no_data), the latest hour with data and the count for the last 24 hours. If the embed needs checking, Sidekick links the theme editor.

​
Example prompts

  • “How much of my traffic was Human in the last 30 days?”
  • “Was there a spike in Suspect traffic this week?”
  • “Which countries sent the most Bots in the last 7 days?”
  • “Show my latest page views.”
  • “Is Glide receiving data?”
Audiences overlap, so Sidekick treats only All as the total. Data arrives hourly, so the latest hour can lag. no_data on a new install can mean the embed isn’t on yet - see Quick start.
