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.
Prevent stockouts and wasted ad spend with StockPilot, an inventory tracking and ad automation app for Shopify. Set low-stock thresholds for products, variants, or collections, then get instant alerts through email or Slack.
