Monitor Shopify Inventory & Send Low Stock Alerts to Slack

This n8n workflow automates inventory management for Shopify stores by running a daily check at 9 AM (adjustable) to fetch all products and variants. It loops through each item, compares current stock against a defined threshold (default: 10 units, editable in the Code node), and identifies low-stock items. Only if low stock is detected does it compile a formatted report listing affected products with remaining quantities.

The alert message is concise and actionable, e.g., '🚨 Low Stock Alert! T-Shirt Blue (Medium): 3 left', ensuring your team receives targeted notifications without spam. Sent directly to a dedicated Slack channel, it enables quick restocking decisions to maintain sales momentum.

Benefits include proactive stockout prevention, time savings on manual checks, and scalability for stores with many variants. Ideal for e-commerce businesses, dropshippers, or retailers relying on just-in-time inventory. Setup is straightforward: configure Shopify and Slack credentials, adjust threshold/schedule, and test manually.

Use cases: High-volume stores monitoring seasonal items, multi-variant apparel brands, or any Shopify user wanting real-time low-stock visibility integrated with team communication tools.
