The Skio App for Gladly Sidekick empowers your team and your Customers with seamless subscription management—right inside Gladly. With Skio, agents can quickly look up Customer's subscriptions, while Customers can self-serve common requests (e.g. pause a subscription), reducing agent workload and improving satisfaction.

What Data Is Available?
With Skio, you get a complete picture of each subscriber, including:
Customer name and contact info (email, phone)
All active and past subscriptions
Subscription status (active, paused, or cancelled)
Next charge date and how often they're billed
Products in each subscription (name and quantity)
Price per product and total subscription cost
When the subscription started and (if cancelled) when it ended
Delivery and billing schedule details
This gives your Agents a real-time, single view of every customer's subscription journey—so you can answer questions, resolve issues, and spot upsell opportunities quickly.
Skio pulls all subscriptions for a Customer, no matter their status
Only subscription lines that haven’t been removed are included.
How Does Customer Matching Work?
Skio finds the right Customer by matching data from their Customer profile:
Primary email address
Any email addresses
Primary phone number
Any phone numbers marked as

If exactly one match is found, you'll see their subscriptions. If no match or more than one match is found no customer's will be returned by Data Pull.

Authentication is handled via API tokens included in the request headers.
