Set up your store briefing

Get a short spoken update about your store in WhatsApp or Telegram, weekly or daily, on the day and hour you choose.

A store briefing is a short spoken update about your store that Bolt sends to WhatsApp or Telegram on the schedule you choose.

What you get

A short recording and a written version you can read without pressing play. It covers the last full week, or yesterday if you choose daily:

  1. A quick overview: orders, revenue, and how they compare with the period before.

  2. One thing to grow.

  3. One thing to fix.

If nothing stands out, the briefing says so instead of making something up. Most findings come with a one-word reply such as SALES or RESTOCK: see What your store briefing can tell you.

Turn it on

Connect WhatsApp or Telegram first, because Bolt only makes a briefing when a channel is connected: Connect WhatsApp or Connect Telegram. Then, in setup, step 4 is Briefing:

  1. Choose Weekly or Daily.

  2. For weekly, pick the Day. Then pick the Time.

  3. Choose WhatsApp or Telegram.

  4. Select Turn on weekly briefing (or Turn on daily briefing).

Turning it on doesn't send a briefing right away. The first one arrives on your next scheduled day and hour.

Change it later

Open GoBolt → Store control → Briefings.

  1. Turn on the switch beside Schedule & delivery.

  2. Set Frequency, Delivery day (weekly only) and Delivery hour. Bolt sends it during that hour, in your store's time zone.

  3. Pick your Delivery channel (Delivery channels on WooCommerce).

  4. Optional: set the language, narrator, voice tone and what Bolt calls you (under Personalize on Shopify). Cover art sets how much the briefing's picture shows to anyone glancing at your phone.

  5. Select Save settings (Save on WooCommerce).

Past briefings stay on the same screen.

Weekly, daily and Free

Free includes two briefings for your store, sent weekly. The second one says it is the last, and none follow it. Starter and Growth get weekly briefings that keep coming. Daily is on Max Standard and Max Plus only. On Free, Starter and Growth, Daily is locked and your briefing is sent weekly.

Language

Bolt can speak 14 of the languages in the Language list: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, Chinese (Simplified), Japanese, Korean and Arabic. Any other pick comes in English.

What it doesn't do

A briefing doesn't use audio credits, storefront conversations or store control actions, and neither do one-word replies like SALES. It only reports and changes nothing in your store. It is the only store update Bolt sends on its own, so there are no low-stock or order alerts. Ask when you want to know: What you can ask Bolt in WhatsApp and Telegram.
