Stock Alerts page
Stock Alerts in the app menu lists every alertAlertOne rule that watches the stock of one variant, or one Assemblified item, at one location. When the available stock is at or below the alert's threshold, Alertified notifies the alert's recipients on the channels it uses. Read more → in your store. From here you create, import, edit and delete alerts.
The page has two buttons at the top: Create alert opens Create stock alerts, and Import alerts opens Bulk import. Until you have an alert, the page shows No stock alerts yet and a Create your first alert button.
Columns
Section titled “Columns”| Column | Shows | |---|---| | Product / Variant | The product and variant names. | | Location | The Shopify location the alert watches. | | Channels | The channels the alert notifies, for example “Email, Slack”. | | Email | The alert’s email address, or “N emails” when it has several. | | Threshold | The thresholdThresholdThe stock level an alert watches for: 0 or higher. The alert fires when the available stock is at or below this number. Read more → , shown as ≤ 5: the alert notifies at 5 or less. | | Stock | The last stock level Alertified received for this variant at this location. It turns red and bold at or below the threshold. ? means no stock change has come in yet. | | Status | Triggered, Low Stock, OK or Waiting. See Statuses. | | Source | Where the alert comes from: Shopify, or an Assemblified badge (Material, Sub-Asm, BOM Pre-Asm or Asm). | | Actions | Edit and delete buttons for the alert. |
The Stock column is the number Alertified compares, not a live reading from Shopify. It updates each time Shopify reports a stock change for the variant at that location.
On a narrow screen, scroll the table sideways to see every column.
Variants and Products views
Section titled “Variants and Products views”The Variants / Products switch above the table sets how alerts are grouped. Variants is the default.
- Variants: one row per variant. A variant with an alert at one location shows that alert directly. A variant with alerts at several locations shows a summary row: the number of locations, the threshold range (for example ≤ 2 – 10), the stock range and a group status such as 2 triggered, 1 low or All OK. Expand it with the arrow to see each location’s alert, with its own edit and delete buttons.
- Products: one row per product, with the number of variants and locations. Expand a product to see its variants, and expand a variant to see its locations.
Search
Section titled “Search”The search box (Search by product, variant, email…) finds alerts whose product name, variant name, location name or email address contains what you type. Upper and lower case don’t matter. Search does not match SKUs.
Filters
Section titled “Filters”| Filter | Options | |---|---| | Location | All locations, or one of the locations your alerts use. | | Status | All statuses, Triggered, Low stock, Stock OK. | | Source | All sources, Shopify, Assemblified, Material, Sub-Assembly, BOM Preassembled. |
What the status filters include:
- Triggered: alerts that have notified and whose stock has not risen above the threshold since.
- Low stock: alerts whose last known stock is at or below the threshold. This includes triggered alerts.
- Stock OK: alerts that have not notified and whose stock is above the threshold or not known yet. This includes Waiting alerts.
Clear filters appears once you search or filter. It clears the search box and the location and status filters.
Sorting
Section titled “Sorting”The sort menu offers Recently updated (the default), Recently created, Product name, Variant name, Location name, Email, Threshold, Current stock and Status. The button next to it switches between Descending and Ascending.
Recently updated orders alerts by when you last edited them. A stock change does not count as an update.
The list shows 20 alerts per page. With more, use the arrows under the table (Page 1 of 3). The footer shows how many alerts are on the page out of all that match your search and filters.
Changing the search, a filter, the sort order or the view takes you back to page 1.
Selecting alerts
Section titled “Selecting alerts”Tick the box at the start of a row to select it. The box on a summary row selects all the alerts in that group. The box in the table header selects every alert on the current page.
When alerts are selected, a bar above the table shows how many, with three buttons:
- Deselect all clears the selection.
- Bulk edit changes the threshold, emails or channels of all selected alerts at once.
- Delete selected removes the selected alerts right away, without asking first.
The selection clears whenever the list reloads, for example after you change page or filters. See Edit and delete alerts for what each action does.
