Alerts trigger automatically through Shopify webhooks whenever inventory changes, and you can run a manual scan from the dashboard anytime.

Every morning you get one email listing each variant at or below its threshold, grouped by vendor. Mark a row ordered to snooze it for 7 days while the purchase order is on its way. It clears itself when stock recovers. Set a shop-wide threshold, override it per variant, and choose the location to watch.
