Important product naming update: Sidekick is now called Gladly (AI) and Gladly Hero (the Platform) is now Gladly Team. Please keep this in mind as you read through our documentation.

Redo App Platform Installation

Prev Next

The Redo app is set up entirely from Gladly’s Settings, no command-line tools are required.

Before you start

  • Confirm you have Administrator permission in Gladly.

  • Use a Redo account with access to Settings > Developer.

  • In Redo, open Settings > Developer and create a dedicated API token for Gladly with Create API token. Scope it to Returns > Read and Orders > Read for the Card, order lookup, and return-portal link. Add Returns > Write only if Team members will comment on, flag, or update returns. Do not grant Orders > Write or Customers > Write.

  • Copy the API secret when it is shown – it is displayed only once – and record the Store ID from the General section of Settings > Developer.

  • Decide whether to enable return status updates and whether to show full gift-card codes. Both are disabled by default.

  • Decide which Team members can use the write actions and document the merchant’s status-update procedures.

API token creation interface with options for various scopes and permissions.

Step 1: Open the Apps settings

In Gladly, go to Settings > Apps. This is where you manage your App Platform integrations.

Step 2: Create a configuration

Click the Create Configuration button. Give the configuration a recognizable name, such as Redo, and when prompted for the External App, choose the Redo app (gladly.com/redo/v1.2.0).

Step 3: Enter your Redo credentials

  • Store ID – from the Redo dashboard under Settings > Developer, General section.

  • API secret – the secret for the dedicated API token you created for Gladly. It is shown only once when the token is created, so copy it before closing the dialog.

  • Return portal URL – every Redo store has one. Open https://api.getredo.com/v2.2/stores/<your-store-id>/customer-portal in a browser; it redirects to your store’s returns.getredo.com widget URL. Enter only that base URL, ending in /returns-portal/.

Step 4: Choose the optional settings

Two settings control the write features, and both are disabled by default.

  • Enable return status updates – lets Team members and Sidekick reopen, complete, and reject returns; it issues no refunds, store credit, or exchanges, and requires the Returns > Write scope.

  • Show gift card codes – controls how gift-card codes appear. Masked by default, showing the amount and last 4 characters only.

Step 5: Activate and save

Switch the configuration from inactive to active, then save it. Add the Redo Returns & Claims Card to the Customer Profile layout.

Step 6: Register the action forms and card

Contact Gladly Support to register the returns card and these forms under External App Forms so they appear in the + menu:

  • lookupReturnsByOrder – Look up Redo returns by order

  • getReturnPortalLink – Send return portal link

  • addReturnComment – Add a comment to a return

  • flagReturn – Flag a return for review

  • updateReturnStatus – Update return status

Step 7: Verify the installation

Open a known Redo Customer Profile, confirm the Card displays, and confirm the expected actions appear in the + menu. If the Card shows no data, check the Customer Profile email addresses, the Store ID and API secret, and the token’s API scopes. Run a read-only order lookup first. If write actions are enabled, use a disposable sandbox return and verify the result in both the Conversation timeline and Redo.
