Run Your Weekly E-Commerce Review From Slack — No Slides Required

Run Your Weekly E-Commerce Review From Slack — No Slides Required

Most e-commerce teams have a version of the same ritual: someone spends Monday morning pulling Shopify numbers, pasting screenshots into a slide deck or a Notion doc, and sharing it before the 10am weekly sync. Then the meeting starts and half the slides get skipped because everyone is looking at their own numbers on their phones.

The ritual exists because alignment matters. But the prep work is wasteful and the format is wrong. Here is a better approach.

The Problem With Weekly Report Prep

When one person owns the data pull, two things happen. First, the analysis is constrained by what that person thinks to look at. Second, everyone else is passive — they receive information rather than engaging with it.

The result is that your weekly review is always a summary of what already happened, filtered through one person's interpretation. That is useful, but it is not the same as shared situational awareness.

What Changes When Charts Live in Slack

When Chartcastr delivers your Shopify metrics to Slack on a schedule, the data arrives before the meeting — not during it. By Monday morning, revenue trends, order volumes, and customer split charts are already in the channel. People have looked at them. They have questions. They have noticed things.

The meeting becomes a conversation about the data, not a presentation of it.

A Practical Weekly Setup

Here is a setup that works well for a 5-15 person e-commerce team:

Friday afternoon delivery (weekly recap):

• Orders vs Revenue for the past 7 days — gives a clean week-in-review
• New vs Returning Customers for the past 30 days — shows retention trend in context

Monday morning delivery (start-of-week):

• Daily Revenue for the past 14 days — enough context to see last week against the week before
• Order Volume for the past 7 days — the opening snapshot for the team sync

Each pulse arrives with an AI summary that calls out the notable movements. The team can follow up directly in the thread — the Chartcastr Slack bot answers questions about the data without anyone having to open a dashboard.

What You Eliminate

• The Monday morning data pull
• The slide deck or report doc
• The "can you share the Shopify link" messages
• The post-meeting "what were the exact numbers?" follow-ups

The data is in the channel. The conversation happens in the thread. The review meeting becomes shorter, sharper, and more actionable.
