How can Flow transfer stock based on inventory levels after an order?

[amellick]

Hi - is there a way for flow to look up the inventory level of a product after an order has been placed and transfer stock to the order location if the current inventory after the order is 0 or less?

Customer places an order

Flow checks inventory for location A

Flow checks inventory in Location A

If inventory level for the line item is 0 or less then

transfer i

Why do I need to email you? This is an open forum.

Yes, you can check inventory at a certain location with the variable:

order / lineItems / variant / inventoryItem / inventoryLevels / available  (note - this last variable is deprecated, so it will be in that section).

Transferring inventory is a bit more difficult. For that you need to use Send HTTP Request, which requires a Custom App API key to use. The API you would need to call is https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2023-01/mutations/inventoryMoveQuantities

We are unable to build workflows for everyone, but there might be some agencies that would be interested in taking on the work. It's important to remember that build a Flow is a lot like building a custom app, so often the person needs to be pretty familiar with your store and your requirements. That said, if you try to build something and get stuck on a step, we might be able to answer a more specific question for you.
