See every featureInventory Stock Alert monitors your product inventory and sends real-time notifications when stock drops below your threshold via email, Slack, or both. Set one global threshold, or configure custom thresholds per product for items that need different reorder levels. Alerts trigger automatically through Shopify webhooks whenever inventory changes, and you can run a manual scan from the dashboard anytime.
StockGlow watches your inventory and emails you before products sell out. Set a low stock threshold, choose who gets the alert, and pick the timing: instant, daily, weekly, or monthly digest. Send alerts straight to your suppliers so restocking starts before the stockout, not after. One quiet email at the right time replaces spreadsheet checks and sold-out surprises.
