Catch Boxhero low stock in Slack

Why this helps
Low stock can sit unnoticed when inventory checks and team conversations happen in separate tools.
- See low-stock items without switching from Slack.
- Use reorder thresholds you supply.
- Keep the alert focused on stock that needs attention.
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 Notis should compare the submitted stock snapshot with your reorder thresholds and report matching items in Slack.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Boxhero stock snapshot and a known threshold.
Questions about this workflow
Does Boxhero trigger this automatically when stock changes?
No Boxhero trigger events are available for this workflow. A webhook starts it when a request is sent to Notis.
Where do reorder thresholds come from?
Supply the thresholds in your instruction or webhook request. The workflow cannot infer thresholds that Boxhero does not provide.
