Alerts on Assemblified items

With the Assemblified connection on, the create page in Alertified lets you pick Assemblified items next to Shopify products. You set the threshold, recipients and channels once, and Alertified creates one alert per item and location, as it does for products.

Before you start

Connect Assemblified on Settings → Integrations. Until you do, the Assemblified items card on the create page reads “Integration not enabled” and Select Assemblified items is unavailable.
For BOM alerts, set a default location in Assemblified’s settings. BOM alerts are created at that location.

Create alerts on Assemblified items

Open Stock Alerts and click Create alert. The Create stock alerts page opens.
Under 1. Select items, click Select Assemblified items. The Select Assemblified items window opens.
Choose a tab: Raw Materials, Sub-Assemblies or BOMs. Type in the search box to narrow the list.
Tick the items you want. You can switch tabs and tick items on each; the line above the list counts the items shown and the items selected.
Click Confirm (n selected). The items appear in the Assemblified items card, each with its kind: Raw material, Sub-assembly or BOM. To add more, click Add Assemblified items; to drop one, click its remove button.
Under 2. Select locations, choose the locations for your raw materials and sub-assemblies, and for any Shopify products on the same page.
Under 3. Configure alert, set the Stock threshold, the recipients and the notification channels, as for any alert. See Create alerts.
Check the Summary and click Create alert.

You can mix Shopify products and Assemblified items in one go. The Summary lists them on separate lines, for example “Assemblified items: 3 items × 2 locations” and “BOM preassembled: 1 BOM × default location”.

Which items the picker lists

The picker reads the items from Assemblified when you open it:

| Tab | Lists | The alert watches | | --- | --- | --- | | Raw Materials | Your virtual materials. | The material’s stock. | | Sub-Assemblies | Your sub-assemblies. | Its pre-assembled stock. | | BOMs | BOMs linked to a Shopify product variant. | The BOM’s pre-assembled stock. |

Each row shows the item’s name and, where it has one, its SKU. If nothing matches, the list reads “No items found”.

Raw materials that are Shopify products are ordinary Shopify variants. Pick them with Select products instead, and their alert watches Shopify’s stock.

BOM alerts use the default location

A BOM’s pre-assembled stock alert is always created at Assemblified’s default location, whatever you choose under 2. Select locations. Your location choice applies to the other items. The picker’s BOMs tab names that location, and once you pick a BOM, so does 2. Select locations: “Assemblified BOM preassembled alerts use the default location: Main warehouse. Your location selection applies to the other items.”

If no default location is set in Assemblified and you pick a BOM, the page shows “Assemblified BOM preassembled alerts require a default location. Set it in Assemblified Settings to continue.” and Create alert stays unavailable. Set the default location in Assemblified, then reload the create page. See Assemblified’s documentation for its settings.

Items that already have an alert

There is one alert per item and location. If an item you picked already has an alert at a location you chose, the page can list it, for example “Glue (Raw Material) @ Main warehouse”. Alertified skips it when you save. To change an existing alert, edit it instead. See Edit and delete alerts.

Alerts created from inside Assemblified

You can also create, update and delete alerts from inside Assemblified, on an item’s detail page or in bulk from its lists. Those alerts appear in Alertified’s Stock Alerts list with the others, carry a source badge, and fire and notify the same way. See Assemblified alerts in the alerts list and Assemblified’s Alertified page.
