Notification when stock increases, is it possible?

Shopify Plus

Topic summary

Goal: receive Slack and email alerts when inventory increases, but only for products with stock between 10–20 and that are “inactive” (no orders in the last 15 days). Purpose is to catch items returned/refused and restart campaigns once stock is at least 10.

Clarification requested: what exactly qualifies as “inactive products” and who is the “him” referenced (a person to notify vs. a condition to check)? Also asked whether the 15-day no-orders check is required in the workflow or just part of the notification message.

Proposed approach: use Shopify Flow (Shopify’s automation tool for building trigger/condition-based workflows) with conditions such as “prior inventory < 10 and inventoryQuantity ≥ 10.” The explicit “increase by 1” is unnecessary if detecting any increase, and an upper bound can be added as “inventoryQuantity ≤ 20.”

Status: no final resolution yet; the third condition (defining and checking inactivity for 15 days) needs clarification to implement. Action item: adjust the Flow template thresholds (≥10 and ≤20) and confirm how to determine products with no orders in the past 15 days.

Hi everyone! I would like to receive an alert and notification in Slack and by Email when the following conditions occur:

First Condition: The amount of stock increases by at least 1.

Second Condition: the stock quantity is between 10 and 20 pieces.

Thirt Condition: However, I would like to have the notification on inactive products, consequently tell him that he must only consider products that have not received orders in the last 15 days.

it’s possible? Explain to me how I’m going crazy! thank you all.

the aim is, to notice the products that have “returned” to the warehouse for refunds or refusals of the package, so I can restart the campaigns, when the stock reaches at least 10 pieces.

Can you elaborate on that third condition? What do you mean by “inactive products”? Who is “him”? Do you need to check for products that haven’t gotten orders for 15 days or is that just a message to someone?

Generally, you could just use this template and change the numbers to match your use case:
https://shopify.com/admin/apps/flow/web/v2/editor/templates/6078af13-af76-49e5-aeda-c9c1ee11eea1

you would want something like “prior inventory < 10 and inventoryQuantity >= 10”.

I don’t think the “1” is necessary if you are already looking for an increase. I’m not sure why you want to cap it at 20, but you could add a third check for inventoryQuantity <= 20.
