We are incredibly proud to introduce our second Shopify app, Relay: Slack Notifications. Relay is a simple but powerful solution for listening to store events and sending notifications to your Slack workspace.
For those unfamiliar, Polaris is the name of the guidelines, values and framework Shopify provide to app/theme developers.
As we continued to build our first app, we realised that we had a growing need for additional reusable services, such as fetching/storing app settings, handling webhook requests, verifying additional tokens etc.
The first step to building a Shopify app should be deciding what the app is going to be. Technically we made this our second step.
We dared to dream, and thought about our ideal method for handling Shopify's installation and authentication requirements, which is not a small list by any means.
