Quick start

Install Hollow Sentinel, choose a plan, and confirm your first daily briefing and health overview.

Use this checklist to go from install to a useful daily briefing in under 10 minutes. Sentinel works standalone — you do not need Arcanum Engine to receive briefings, health scores, or insights.

Checklist

  1. Install Hollow Sentinel from the Shopify App Store or your Arcanum partner link.
  2. Open the app from Shopify Admin → Apps → Hollow Sentinel.
  3. Choose a subscription plan (Starter includes a 7-day trial).
  4. Expect a 14-day learning period — Sentinel captures one store snapshot per day to build baselines.
  5. Open Command center and review intelligence module badges (most show Learning or Watching at first).
  6. Wait for the first metrics capture (usually within a few hours) — a setup briefing appears after the first snapshot.
  7. Review Health for dimension scores; open Store timeline to confirm webhook events are recording.
  8. Optional on Starter+: add your Resend API key, verified from address, and alert recipients in Settings, then send a test email.
  9. Optional on Growth+: connect Slack for briefing delivery and Klaviyo for flow volume monitoring.

Baselines need 14 daily snapshots

Insights and anomaly detection improve throughout the 14-day learning period. Health scores show learning confidence until Sentinel has captured 14 daily store snapshots. Morning revenue checks use partial-day baselines so you are not flooded with false positives early in the day.
