The skill
Suggested shortcut:/flow-low-stock Build a Shopify Flow that alerts [ALERT EMAIL] when a variant's inventory drops below [THRESHOLD]. ## Steps 1. Check that Shopify Flow is installed. 2. Design the workflow: trigger "Inventory quantity changed"; condition "inventory quantity is less than [THRESHOLD]" and "product tags does not contain low-stock-alerted"; actions "Send internal email" with product title, variant, SKU, quantity and location, then "Add product tags: low-stock-alerted". Add a second workflow that removes the tag when quantity rises above [THRESHOLD] times 3. 3. Show both workflows as trigger → condition → action lists. 4. Ask for approval. Only after a clear yes, create both inactive and tell me where to activate them. ## Output The two workflow summaries, then "Create both workflows (inactive)?", then the confirmation. Do not adjust inventory. Do not activate anything without my say-so.

What you get
An alert that fires once per variant when stock gets low, and resets itself after a restock, instead of an inbox full of repeats.
When to use it
Stores with fast-moving products or made-to-order components.
Variations
- “Post to Slack instead of email” if the Slack connector is installed.
- “Only products tagged core-range”.
Limits
Variants without inventory tracking never trigger. Multi-location stores get one alert per location change unless the condition sums locations.
