# Product update: August 2026

Shopify integration, custom workflows, and what we are building next.

Key developments across the platform this month.

## Shopify integration

You can now connect your Shopify store to Newtone and translate it in place. The app is available on the [Shopify App Store](https://apps.shopify.com/newtone).

**An afternoon, not a quarter.** An entire storefront translated, using the same engine and brand configuration your team already works with.

**Built for SEO.** Translations are written statically to each store resource rather than served as a layer over your pages, so translated pages are indexed like any other.

Setup and scope are covered in [Shopify](https://help.newtone.ai/documentation/integrations/shopify).

## Custom workflows

Generation, translation and custom data formats can now run as a single pass rather than as separate jobs. A product feed can be uploaded in your own format, written and translated under your brand configuration, and returned in the same format.

We are generalizing the engine behind this. If you have a workflow of this kind in mind that would create value for you, get in touch.

## Upcoming

Currently in development:

**Performance measurement.** Tracks how your pages perform and proposes a refresh when the data suggests one.

**Brand voice agent.** Upload your review files and the agent proposes corresponding changes to your brand configuration, so you can adjust your brand voice in plain language.

If either sounds valuable to your team and you want early access, get in touch. Early conversations shape what we build.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.newtone.ai/product-updates/2026/product-update-august-2026.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
