Send weekly email summary with list of low stock variants
This workflow runs on a schedule (e.g., weekly), identifies product variants that are low in stock, counts them, and sends an internal email summary with variant titles and direct admin links for quick restocking action.
The Problem
Merchants often miss low inventory items until they are out of stock, leading to lost sales and poor customer experience. Manually checking inventory across products is time-consuming and inefficient, especially for stores with large catalogs.
What This Shopify Automation Solves
This automation proactively monitors inventory levels and sends a scheduled email summary of low stock variants. It helps merchants stay ahead of stockouts, prioritize restocking, and maintain consistent product availability without manual checks.
