The words Alertified uses for alerts, statuses, channels, plans and integrations, defined once. Terms marked elsewhere in these docs show the same definition when you hover over them, and link back to this page.
Also known as: Stock alert, Alerts
One 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.
Also known as: Source
Where an alert’s item comes from, shown as a badge in the alerts list: Shopify for product variants, or Material, Sub-Asm, BOM Pre-Asm or Asm for Assemblified items.
A bill of materials (BOM) management app for Shopify. Connected to Alertified, it lets you set alerts on stock that Shopify cannot see: virtual materials and the pre-assembled stock of BOMs and sub-assemblies.
Also known as: Available quantity, Available stock
Shopify’s available quantity of a variant at a location, the units you can still sell. It is the number Alertified compares with an alert’s threshold; for Assemblified items, it is the stock Assemblified reports.
Also known as: Bill of materials, BOMs
Short for bill of materials: Assemblified’s recipe for building one unit of a finished product from its components.
Creating many alerts at once by uploading a filled-in XLSX template on the Bulk Import page, one row per variant and location.
Also known as: Notification channel, Channels
A place Alertified sends notifications: Email, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Webhook or ntfy. You connect channels in Settings and choose for each alert which ones it uses.
Also known as: Webhook channel
Your own HTTPS endpoint, set on the Webhook tab in Settings. Alertified sends each alert to it as a JSON POST request, for your own systems to process.
The Shopify location set as the default in Assemblified’s settings. Alertified creates alerts on a BOM’s pre-assembled stock at this location.
Also known as: Enhanced
Alertified’s plan at $10 a month or $100 a year. The connection to Assemblified needs it.
Also known as: Essential
Alertified’s plan at $4 a month or $40 a year, with a 7-day free trial.
A warehouse and order management app for Shopify, launching soon. Once it is available, it can send its warehouse alerts through Alertified, by email and on your connected channels.
Also known as: Trial
The first 7 days of the Essential plan. Shopify charges nothing until the trial ends, and you can cancel before then.
Also known as: Incoming webhook
The address Discord, Slack or Microsoft Teams gives you for posting messages into one of their channels. You paste it into Alertified’s Settings to connect that channel.
Also known as: Locations
A Shopify location where you keep stock. Each alert watches one location, so choosing several locations creates one alert per location.
The status of an alert whose last known stock is at or below its threshold but that has not fired for it yet. It fires at the next reported stock change for that item and location that is still at or below the threshold.
Also known as: Topic
The name of the topic on ntfy.sh that Alertified posts alerts to; you subscribe to the same topic in the ntfy app. It may contain letters, numbers, dashes and underscores.
Also known as: Stock OK
The status of an alert whose last known stock is above its threshold.
Also known as: Pre-assembled, Preassembled, Preassembled stock
Units of a BOM’s finished product or of a sub-assembly that are already built and on the shelf, as Assemblified counts them. Alertified can alert when this stock runs low.
Also known as: Re-armed, Reset
What makes a triggered alert ready to fire again. It happens when the stock goes back above the threshold, or when you lower the threshold below the last known stock.
Also known as: Recipients
An email address an alert sends to. Each alert has its own recipients, and each recipient gets their own email.
Also known as: Saved email, Address book
Your shop’s list of reusable email addresses, kept on the Emails tab in Settings. The create page offers them as recipients and pre-selects the ones you used most recently.
Also known as: Sub-assemblies, Subassembly, Assembly BOM, Sub-Asm
A building block that Assemblified uses inside bigger bills of materials. Assemblified’s own screens call it a subassembly, defined by an assembly BOM.
Also known as: Send Test Message
A fixed message you send from a channel’s tab in Settings with Send Test Message, to check that the channel is set up. It is not a stock alert.
Also known as: Stock threshold
The stock level an alert watches for: 0 or higher. The alert fires when the available stock is at or below this number.
Also known as: Notified
The status of an alert that has fired. It sends nothing more until the stock goes back above the threshold.
Also known as: Product variant, Variants
One version of a Shopify product, such as a size or a color. Alerts on Shopify products are set per variant.
Also known as: Virtual materials, Virtual raw material, Material
A raw material tracked only in Assemblified, with no Shopify product behind it, such as glue or packaging. With the Assemblified connection, Alertified can alert on its stock.
The status of a new alert that has not received a stock update yet. It changes when the first stock change for that item and location is reported.
