How it works

2 steps to get notifications when your Shopify app gets uninstalled

App connector: Shopify Partner • Time to complete: 2 minutes

Why this matters: This trigger monitors your Shopify Partner account every 15 minutes to detect when stores uninstall your app, capturing critical data like the store domain, uninstall timestamp, and reason.

You'll need to enter your App ID, which you can find in your Shopify Partner Dashboard under "Apps" - it's the numerical ID shown in your app's URL or details page. The trigger automatically polls Shopify's Partner API to check for uninstall events and collects detailed information including the store's myshopify domain, when the uninstall occurred, any notes provided, and the reason for uninstalling. This data gets passed to the Slack notification step so you have complete context about each uninstall event.

App connector: Slack • Time to complete: 2 minutes

Why this matters: This action immediately sends a formatted Slack message with all the uninstall details to your specified channel, so you can respond quickly to app uninstalls or track patterns.

ou'll configure the Slack channel field with your desired channel name (like #app-alerts or #customer-success). Before selecting your channel, invite the MESA Slack app by typing @MESA in your channel and clicking the Invite button - private channels won't appear in the dropdown until you do this. The message automatically formats the uninstall data into a clear alert showing the store domain, uninstall timestamp, any provided notes, and the specific reason for uninstalling. This gives you immediate visibility into app churn without having to constantly check your Partner Dashboard.
