Send Boxhero low stock alerts by email
Turn inventory warnings into an email your team can act on immediately.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send Email
Sends an email via gmail api using the authenticated user's google profile display name, requiring `is html=true` if the body contains html and valid `s3key`, `mimetype`, `name` for any attachment.
Why this helps
Low stock signals get buried while people switch between inventory and email.
- Notify the right people quickly
- Include item names and quantities
- Reduce missed replenishment tasks
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Boxhero and Gmail in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation in Automations with a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to email the listed recipients when the Boxhero request shows stock below its reorder point.
- 4Choose notis_webhook as the trigger and provide the webhook endpoint to your Boxhero workflow.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one real low stock request.
Questions about this workflow
Can the email include several low stock items?
Yes. Ask Notis to group every item returned by the Boxhero request into one Gmail message.
Can I send this only when stock is below a threshold?
Yes. State the threshold in the automation prompt or include it in the webhook payload.
