⚡ Inventory & Logistics Workflows

Automate stock updates, PO routing, shipment alerts, and reorder signals across your tools. Stop chasing spreadsheets and emails—keep inventory accurate and teams in sync.

These workflows are built for ops managers, store owners, and agencies who juggle stock counts, POs, shipping updates, and supplier emails. If you’re tired of overselling, late reorders, and messy spreadsheets, you’ll feel the difference fast. Automate low‑stock alerts, purchase approvals, inbound tracking, and daily inventory syncs so your numbers stay reliable and your team reacts sooner. Honestly, it’s the easiest way to prevent “surprise” stockouts.

📊 About Inventory & Logistics

AI automation for Inventory & Logistics connects your inventory sources (Shopify, Sheets, Airtable, email, webhooks) and turns updates into actions. It can read supplier emails, extract SKUs, update stock tables, and route purchase orders for approval. You can auto-send shipment notifications, create tasks in Slack, and flag anomalies like sudden demand spikes. The payoff is simple: fewer errors, faster reorders, clearer handoffs, and less time spent reconciling data across systems.

How does Inventory & Logistics automation work?

It connects the tools you already use and moves inventory data automatically between them. For example, a workflow can watch Shopify orders, update a Google Sheet or Airtable stock table, and alert Slack when an item drops below a reorder point. It can also parse incoming supplier emails in Gmail to pull PO numbers and expected delivery dates. With AI steps, you can extract line items from messy messages or PDFs, then route approvals and updates without manual copying.

Do I need technical skills to automate Inventory & Logistics?

Not really. Most Flowpast workflows are plug-and-play: you connect accounts, pick a spreadsheet/table, and set your thresholds. If you can use Shopify and Google Sheets, you can usually run these. When you want custom logic (like bundle SKUs or multi-warehouse rules), you may spend about 30 minutes tweaking a few fields, but you don’t need to code.

How much time can automation save for Inventory & Logistics?

If you’re updating stock in multiple places, chasing shipping updates, and answering “are we out?” messages all day, automation can cut that work in half. A typical setup replaces daily spreadsheet reconciliations, manual low-stock checks, and copy-pasting from supplier emails. Many teams get back about 2 hours a day once alerts, PO routing, and inventory syncs are running reliably. The bigger win is fewer costly mistakes, like overselling or reordering too late.

What do I need to get started with these workflows?

You’ll need an n8n workspace and access to the apps you want to connect (like Shopify, Gmail, Slack, and a database or spreadsheet). Have one “source of truth” ready, even if it’s just a Google Sheet with SKU, on-hand, and reorder point. If you track multiple locations, decide how you want to split stock before you automate. Then import a workflow, connect credentials, run a test order or test email, and you’re live.
