App Events: See all your app activity in one place
Shopify developer change
MerchantDiff detected this entry in Shopify's official developer changelog on May 12, 2026.
This Shopify update is categorized as API, New, App Events API.
What changed
Send any app event to one API endpoint and see a holistic view of your app in one place. With App Events, you can now track merchant behavior inside your app and see it in the same Dev Dashboard where you monitor webhook deliveries, Function executions, and API calls. App Events: Complete the picture Until now, understanding how merchants use your app required separate analytics tools. Apps could receive data from Shopify (webhook deliveries, Function executions, API calls) but if a sync failed, a feature went unused, or a merchant hit an error, you had no way to log that back to Shopify. Debugging meant switching between your own monitoring tools, separate databases, and dashboards outside of Shopify.
