Runs Occurs whenever an inventory level is updated and Occurs whenever an inventory level is connected. Configuration includes email recipient, email subject, and email body.
Use this task to receive immediate email notifications whenever inventory/stock levels are adjusted, whether manually or as a result of a transfer or customer order.
Please note: Mechanic will start sending emails the second time inventory is adjusted for a particular item.
The following "replacement" variables are defined in the task code for usage within the email subject and body. If you wish to include any other additional information, then you will either need to modify the task code to create additional variables, or use a GraphQL query directly in the task option field.
- AVAILABLE
- DIFFERENCE
- INVENTORY_HISTORY_LINK
- LOCATION_NAME
- MANAGE_VARIANT_LINK
- SKU
- TITLE
Mechanic is designed to benefit everybody: merchants, customers, developers, agencies, Shopifolks, everybody.
That’s why we make it easy to configure automation without code, why we make it easy to tweak the underlying code once tasks are installed, and why we publish it all here for everyone to learn from.
