Developers declare standard or custom events in an extension's shopify.extension.toml file, using Shopify-defined standard events like 'emails sent' or custom events with their own attributes and metrics. Events are released with 'shopify app deploy' and then sent through the App Events API. Existing App Events integrations used for Dev Dashboard logs or billing don't automatically appear in Analytics unless they match a released declaration. Merchants can then query results with ShopifyQL, such as 'FROM app_events SHOW emails_sent TIMESERIES day'. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How do I make my Shopify app's events show up in Shopify Analytics? Declare standard or custom events in an extension inside shopify.extension.toml, using an analytics_app_events extension type with event names like 'shopify.marketing.email_sent'. Release the configuration with 'shopify app deploy', then send matching events through the App Events API for installed stores. Merchants can then query them with ShopifyQL, for example 'FROM app_events SHOW emails_sent TIMESERIES day'. _Developers wiring up Shopify app analytics can track platform changes like this on daily.dev._ ### Will my existing Shopify App Events for billing or Dev Dashboard logs automatically appear in Shopify Analytics? No, existing App Events used for Dev Dashboard logs or billing don't automatically become visible in Shopify Analytics. They must match a released Analytics App Events declaration before merchants can report on them. Existing App Events integrations don't need to change unless you specifically want those events to appear in Shopify Analytics. _Teams maintaining Shopify app integrations follow platform changes like this via daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [App Events: Send events from Checkout and Customer Account UI extensions](https://daily.dev/posts/app-events-send-events-from-checkout-and-customer-account-ui-extensions-bhquzkutl) · Shopify Developer changelog · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Full-stack capabilities to power app analytics](https://daily.dev/posts/full-stack-capabilities-to-power-app-analytics-97k5pylpt) · Shopify Developer changelog · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Store and app install details in the Dev Dashboard](https://daily.dev/posts/store-and-app-install-details-in-the-dev-dashboard-mxvqzquu8) · Shopify Developer changelog · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#architecture](https://daily.dev/tags/architecture), [#shopify](https://daily.dev/tags/shopify) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/make-your-app-s-activity-reportable-in-shopify-analytics-with-app-events-be2nqv4tf) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Make your app's activity reportable in Shopify Analytics with App Events","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/make-your-app-s-activity-reportable-in-shopify-analytics-with-app-events-be2nqv4tf","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/make-your-app-s-activity-reportable-in-shopify-analytics-with-app-events-be2nqv4tf"},"datePublished":"2026-10-28T15:53:53.899Z","dateModified":"2026-10-28T15:56:15.446Z","description":"Shopify apps can now declare events that merchants can report on inside Shopify Analytics.
