You don’t always have to open the Flits app to check your wishlist performance. Shopify’s built-in AI assistant, Sidekick, can pull your Flits wishlist insights for you - just ask it a question in plain language and it returns the answer inside your Shopify admin.
This guide explains what you can ask, the one-time setup step, how these insights help you grow, and sample questions to get you started.
1. One-Time Setup: Grant Data Access
There is a single step to complete before Sidekick can answer your wishlist questions.
The first time you ask Sidekick about your Flits data, it will request permission to view the app’s data.
Approve this access once.
After that, all your wishlist questions are answered directly through Sidekick - you won’t need to open the Flits app or grant access again.
2. What You Can Ask About
Sidekick can answer virtually any data-related wishlist question. You can ask about top wishlisted products, wishlist-driven revenue, products wishlisted over a date range, unique wishlist sessions, “Notify me” requests, average wishlisted products, orders from wishlists, and add-to-cart activity driven by wishlisted products.
3. How These Insights Help You Grow
- Plan inventory around real demand - restock your top wishlisted and most-requested “Notify me” products before low stock costs you sales.
- Run targeted campaigns - turn wishlists into back-in-stock alerts, price-drop nudges, and reminder emails that win back high-intent shoppers.
- Merchandise smarter - feature top wishlisted products on your homepage, in ads, and in bundles built from what customers save together.
- Prove and grow ROI - track wishlist-driven revenue, orders, and add-to-cart events to treat wishlisting as a measurable sales channel, then double down on what converts.
Checking these numbers regularly through Sidekick lets you act on demand as it shifts - without digging through reports.
4. Questions That Turn Data Into Decisions (Some game changing prompts)
This is where the insights pay off. Each question below takes seconds to ask and gives you an answer you can act on the same day - from what to restock to which shoppers to win back. Phrase them in your own words; these are just starting points for the decisions they unlock.

5. Tips for Better Results
- Use a precise start and end date. For any time-based question, give a clear date range with a start and end point.
- Ask one thing at a time for the cleanest answers, then follow up with related questions.
- Use your own wording. You don’t need exact phrasing - Sidekick understands natural questions.
6. Troubleshooting
- Sidekick can’t see my wishlist data
Make sure you approved the one-time data-access request (see Section 1). Ask a wishlist question again and approve access if prompted.
- A date-based answer looks off
Make sure your question includes a precise start and end date. A clear start-end range returns the most precise details.
- I don’t get an answer for a specific metric
Rephrase the question or specify the exact data point. If it’s a value Flits tracks, Sidekick should be able to return it.
