Automated Inventory Alerts for E-commerce Success
detail.loadingPreview
Streamline your e-commerce operations with automated inventory alerts. This workflow notifies you instantly when products are running low or are out of stock, preventing lost sales and improving customer satisfaction.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow is designed to revolutionize your e-commerce inventory management. It leverages a webhook to listen for real-time inventory updates from Shopify. A sophisticated code node then analyzes this data to determine if stock levels are critically low (less than 4 items) or completely depleted. Based on these conditions, the workflow triggers a Shopify GraphQL request to gather detailed product information, including images and variant titles. Finally, it sends visually rich, customizable alerts directly to a Discord channel, providing immediate actionable insights. This ensures you're always informed and can proactively manage your stock, minimize stockouts, and optimize your sales strategy.
