With almost infinite automation possibilities, here's a quick overview of the power of Even Better Admin Buttons

Updated over 5 months ago

Even Better Admin Buttons is a powerful tool for adding your own functionality to Shopify Admin to simplify repetitive tasks in the day to day management of your shop. In one sentence, here's what the app can do for you.

Define your own button ...

In Admin Buttons, everything starts with a button that you create to perform a task from within Shopify Admin.

... to pass one or more Shopify data objects ...

Shopify "data objects" are basically the "nouns" that you manage in Shopify, and include many of the left nav items of admin. Depending on where your button lives in admin, it can send one object (from an order detail page, for instance) or multiple objects (from the "Orders" list page).

... and additional information (if you like) ...

You can set up your form to add information to the Shopify object being passed, telling the destination tool more about what you want to do with it. You can use key-value pairs to pass the same info with every button click, and/or gather unique info each time with a simple form.

Defining key-value pairs and/or a form to pass with a Shopify object.

... to an automation tool ...

You have a few options for catching the data. Shopify's Flow automation tool can use the data to get things done with other objects or send notifications, for example. Or an external automation service like Zapier or Relay.app can catch the data and carry out multiple automation steps in across multiple other tools. Those actions could even end with a call back to Shopify to update the original order, customer or product page.

... to save time, prevent errors and make Shopify easier for your team to manage.

At the end of the day, we all want our Shopify stores to be easy to manage for the team members who are in there day after day. Too often they are burdened with the same repetitive manual tasks, copying and pasting data into spreadsheets, sending the same emails or Slack messages, or working across multiple open tabs to get something.
