What the integration helps with#

Toolbench’s Sidekick extension provides read-only information about modules, whether they are enabled and their setup steps. Supported checks return the current state and relevant links. This integration helps with the installed app; it is separate from App Store recommendations.

Ask for setup guidance#

  1. Open the module you want to set up.
  2. Use its in-app Sidekick help prompt, or name Toolbench and the module in Shopify Sidekick.
  3. Ask Sidekick to check setup steps and explain those that are unfinished.
  4. Complete the steps in Shopify or Toolbench, then ask it to check again.

Example questions#

  • Help me set up View History in Toolbench. Check which setup steps are complete.
  • Order Change History in Toolbench is not showing anything yet. Check its setup status.
  • Help me give my staff access to the Tools block in Toolbench.

What unconfirmed means#

Some steps cannot be directly verified. An enabled theme embed may not report until a signed-in shopper uses a cart. A pinned Tools block may not report until an authorized staff member opens a record. Unconfirmed means the expected signal has not arrived, not necessarily that setup is wrong.

You complete and approve changes#

The data extension reads setup information. It does not turn tools on, grant permissions or edit records. Use the supplied links and Shopify’s normal approval controls to complete setup.
