Inventory Overstock Alerts With Zapier

Overview

This Zapier integration for inventory surplus alerts enables you to receive Zapier triggers that can be used to automate actions such as updating a Google Sheet, sending email notifications, or performing any other action supported with other Zapier integrated apps.

The triggers occur when a data capture field e.g quantity rises above a defined maximum level.

Setting up the Zap trigger

To set it up, in your Zap editor, select the “Surplus Alert in Ventipix Asset & Inventory Manager”.

After that choose the account to authenticate with, then click on Continue.

On the next step, choose the custom fields you’re using.

Under the Stock Level field, choose the field you want to monitor when their amount increases. For example, Quantity.

Under the Surplus Level field, choose the field that’s used to indicate what the maximum level should be.

Continue to the Find Data step. On there click on the Test & Review button. Zapier will attempt to retrieve sample data from your account that matches the trigger conditions.

You may, therefore, need to set up sample data within your account, if nothing was found. The sample data must meet the condition for the trigger, i.e you would need to increase an inventory’s quantity, weight, etc, above the maximum level.

If Zapier finds data, you will be presented with samples to choose from.

Setting up a Zap action

At this point, you would have reached the end of the trigger setup. You now need to set up an Action i.e what should happen when the zap is triggered.

The action can be anything useful that you want. In this guide, we’ll set up an action that automatically creates a new row in a Google Sheets workbook.

Click on the (+) button to add an action.
