Why this helps

- Runs a check on a chosen schedule
- Preserves each run's returned availability details
- Makes prior checks easier to find

- 5Test with one real product and location.
Questions about this workflow
Does the schedule guarantee the item is in stock?
No. Each document reflects the availability details returned when that run occurred. Stock can change afterward.
Can I compare past results?
The saved documents provide a record you can review. The workflow does not calculate changes unless you ask Notis to compare available records and the needed history is accessible.
