# Sidekick and AI assistants

Workflow Trigger Extensions exposes a read-only data extension to Shopify's **Sidekick** assistant, so you can
ask about your triggers in plain language from anywhere in the Shopify admin.

## What you can ask

- *"Which triggers do I have set up?"* - lists triggers and whether each is ready to fire.
- *"Why isn't my price change trigger working?"* - reports the permission, setting, and
  sync state for that trigger.
- *"What fired in the last day?"* - recent event history.
- *"How much of my quota have I used?"* - current usage against your plan.
- *"What permissions have I granted?"* - the granted permissions and what each unlocks.

## What it can access

Sidekick can read: trigger definitions and setup status, event history metadata,
aggregate statistics, plan usage, granted permissions, sync status, and help content.

> [!TIP]
> **It is strictly read-only.** The extension never returns access tokens, secrets, or
> webhook and snapshot payloads, and it cannot change any setting. Anything it suggests
> changing, you apply yourself in the app.

straight from the diagnosis to the fix.
