Stockful integrates with Shopify Flow to let you build automated workflows around your inventory data. React to stock changes in real time, query forecast data mid-workflow, and update Stockful settings - all without writing code.

​
What you get

10 triggers

Fire workflows when stock status changes, velocity shifts, or reorder points are hit

9 actions

Query forecasts, get reorder lists, adjust demand, send Slack messages, and more

​
Quick start

​
1. Create a workflow in Shopify Flow

In your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Flow (or Apps > Flow) and click Create workflow.

​
2. Pick a Stockful trigger

Click Select a trigger and search for “Stockful”. You’ll see all 10 triggers listed by name. Choose the event you want to react to.

​
3. Add conditions and actions

Use Flow’s built-in conditions to filter on the trigger data (e.g. only fire when ABC class is “A”), then add actions - either Stockful’s own actions or any other Flow-compatible action like sending an email, tagging a product, or creating an order note.

​
How triggers work

Stockful fires triggers as part of its normal inventory processing:
  • Real-time triggers (low stock, out of stock, restocked, reorder point reached) fire within seconds of an inventory change
  • Daily triggers (ABC class change, velocity change, stockout projected, sell-through milestone, dead stock, overstock) fire during the daily analytics run
Each trigger includes rich context - not just the event itself, but forecast data like velocity, days of supply, and reorder quantities. This means you can build sophisticated conditions without needing a separate “Get forecast” action.

​
How actions work

Stockful actions are called by Flow during workflow execution. They fall into three categories:
  • Query actions return data you can use in subsequent workflow steps (Get forecast, Get inventory health, Get stock by location, Get reorder list, Get transfer suggestion)
  • Write actions update Stockful settings for a variant (Set safety stock, Set lead time, Set demand adjustment)
  • Integration actions connect to external services (Send Slack message)

​
Example workflows

Here are some common patterns to get you started:
  • Auto-tag low stock products - When “Low stock detected” fires, add a “low-stock” tag to the product so it shows up in filtered collections
  • Slack alert for bestseller stockouts - When “Out of stock” fires, check if ABC class is “A”, then send a Slack message to your purchasing channel
  • Seasonal demand adjustment - On a schedule, use “Set demand adjustment” to increase forecast by 30% for products tagged “holiday”
  • Auto-create purchase orders - When “Reorder point reached” fires, use the included reorder quantity to create a draft order or send an email to your supplier
