BigCommerce and Slack: Low-Stock Reorder Alert Template
On a daily schedule, scan your BigCommerce catalog and post a Slack alert listing every SKU that has dropped below its reorder threshold.
What It Builds
A Schedule trigger fires this workflow every morning. A Connector node on the bigcommerce connector pulls your products and their inventory levels, a Condition node (or filter step) keeps only items below their reorder point, and a Connector node on the slack connector posts a single message to your purchasing channel. The result: buyers see what to reorder before anything stocks out, with no manual catalog check.
The Prompt
Paste this into Miraxa and it builds the workflow, connecting the tools for you:
Build a workflow that runs every weekday at 8am Australia/Sydney time, lists all my BigCommerce products with their inventory levels, keeps only the SKUs where the available quantity is below a reorder threshold of 10, and posts a single Slack message to the #purchasing channel listing each low-stock SKU, its product name, and its current quantity.Connectors Used
- bigcommerce - reads your product list and inventory levels.
- slack - posts the consolidated low-stock alert to a channel.
- Schedule trigger - runs the scan daily on a cron schedule in your timezone.
Customize It
Change the reorder threshold from 10 to suit each category, swap #purchasing for your own channel, adjust the cron time and timezone, or add fields like vendor or SKU cost to the Slack message so buyers can act without leaving Slack.
Tips
- Your BigCommerce connection needs read access to products and inventory, and your Slack connection must be a member of the target channel.
- Use Direct mode on both Connector nodes: the scan and the post are predictable single-tool calls, so you avoid AI credit cost.
- One message per run keeps things tidy. Reference low-stock rows with
{{ }}variables rather than sending a Slack message per SKU.
