inventory_levels/update webhook isn't providing me with the inventory changed by amount

Shopify Apps

I’m looking to track whenever a user manually adjusts an inventory level.
I have the inventory_levels/update webhook firing and providing me with the information in the docs.

The problem I have though is that I need to know how much the inventory has changed,

E.g.: has it increased by 5, or has it decreased by 1.

The payload only has an ‘available’ property that contains the new inventory level.

Does anyone know of a workaround for this?

I’m also using the orders/paid webhook to track changes when orders are completed, but this additional requirement is purely to track manual changes to inventory levels.

Many Thanks

Dan

you can create an admin ui extension for adjusting inventory and you have to ask shopify to enable read_users permission for your private app. We use this approach in our shop to track who made direct adjustments to our inventory and have accountability.
