Why this helps
Cycle counts are harder to coordinate when teams must assemble priorities manually each time.
- Share a repeatable count plan in Slack.
- Use criteria such as risk or priority that your team specifies.
- Reduce manual preparation for routine counts.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Boxhero and Slack once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or by telling Notis what you want.
- 3Describe how to select cycle-count items from available stock details and format the announcement.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a real inventory example and confirm the selected priorities.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis determine which stock is most important to count?
Provide the selection criteria, or ensure the relevant priority data is accessible to the automation.
Does this change stock counts in Boxhero?
No. It posts a Slack announcement based on inventory information.
