The AI agent retrieves data from the WooCommerce REST API, specifically orders and refunds for the selected weekly period. It filters completed orders to ensure accurate revenue capture and aligns refunds with their parent orders. Data is normalized into a consistent schema before KPI calculations, enabling reproducible reporting. If the store has multiple currencies, you should confirm how currency is standardized for KPI accuracy.

Yes. KPI definitions, thresholds, and risk flags can be adjusted in the configuration. You can modify how ratios are calculated, set new tolerances for anomalies, and decide which KPIs to surface in Slack. Changes apply to all future weekly runs and are auditable in the data log.

Any channel you choose within your Slack workspace can receive the weekly digest. You simply select the destination channel during setup or reconfigure it later. The formatting is designed for quick leadership review, with a concise digest and clear action items.

The AI agent runs on a weekly schedule, pulling data for the prior week, computing KPIs, and delivering a digest at the configured time. You can adjust the day and time to align with your reporting cadence. If a run is skipped, it will attempt the next scheduled window and log the incident for auditing.

If the WooCommerce API or Slack posting fails, the AI agent logs the error and retries according to a safe backoff policy. It will notify the configured channel or platform administrator after repeated failures. Data for the failed period remains unavailable until the next successful run, preserving data integrity.

Yes. You can configure multiple store connections and, if needed, normalize currencies at the data stage. The AI agent can aggregate data across stores for a consolidated KPI digest or provide per-store digests. Each store connection maintains its own credentials and scheduling to support multi-store reporting.

Digest content is stored in the automation platform’s logs and can be exported or archived for audits. The KPI data, sources, and any flags are traceable, enabling verification of calculations and decisions. You can also regenerate the digest from historical data to review past reporting periods.
