Shopify Sidekick

Ask Shopify Sidekick about your Zigpoll surveys, results, NPS, and customer insights

Ask Shopify Sidekick about your Zigpoll surveys right from your Shopify admin. Get response summaries, NPS scores, AI insights, and more — in plain English, without leaving Shopify.

What is Sidekick?

Sidekick is Shopify's built-in AI assistant. With Zigpoll installed, Sidekick can read your survey data and answer questions about it directly in the Shopify admin — so you can check results without opening the Zigpoll dashboard.

What You Can Do

Ask Sidekick to:

  • Find and list your surveys and their response counts

  • Summarize the responses to any survey

  • Calculate NPS and satisfaction scores (promoters, passives, detractors)

  • Surface AI-generated insights and themes from customer feedback

  • Show response trends over time

  • Break down where your respondents are located and what devices they use

  • See which products customers bought based on how they answered

  • Compare response and completion rates across surveys

Requirements

There's nothing to set up. As long as:

  • The Zigpoll Customer Surveys app is installed on your store, and

  • You have at least one survey with responses

Sidekick can answer questions about your survey data automatically. Your data is always scoped to your own store — Sidekick only ever sees your surveys.

Sidekick reads your Zigpoll data securely using your Shopify session — you never need to enter an API key or connect anything.

How to Use It

  1. Open your Shopify admin.

  2. Open Sidekick (the assistant in the top bar).

  3. Ask a question about your surveys — for example, "What Zigpoll surveys do I have?"

Sidekick will pull the answer from Zigpoll and show it inline.

Read-only for now

Sidekick can read and analyze your survey data, but it can't create or edit surveys yet. To build or change a survey, open the Zigpoll dashboard from your Shopify admin.

Troubleshooting

Sidekick says it can't access your Zigpoll data — Make sure the Zigpoll Customer Surveys app is installed on the store you're in, and that you have at least one survey. Then start a new Sidekick chat and try again.

Sidekick doesn't show survey results — Newly installed apps can take a few minutes to become available in Sidekick. Wait a moment, start a fresh chat, and retry.

That's it.
