Add Products Without Creating Duplicates

Create a new product issue and Notis scans Boxhero to make sure that SKU doesn't already exist. No more duplicate entries clogging your system.

Trigger

Issue Created Trigger

Triggered when a new issue is created.

Action

List Items

Tool to list items. Use when fetching products with optional location filters and pagination.

Why this helps

You add a product to Boxhero without checking if it already exists. Months later, stock is split across two identical SKUs, reporting is garbage, and reconciliation becomes a nightmare.

  • Catch duplicate SKUs before they're created
  • Keep inventory data clean and searchable
  • Prevent stock from splitting across identical products

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect both integrations to Notis.
  • 2Tell Notis: 'When I create a product issue, search Boxhero for any items with the same name or SKU.'
  • 3Select Issue Created as the trigger and your notification channel.
  • 4Create a test product issue and verify it searches for duplicates and reports results.

Questions about this workflow

How does it match duplicates?

You can match by SKU code, product name, or barcode - whatever uniquely identifies the product in your system.

What if duplicates already exist?

Notis alerts you and you can decide to merge them or keep them separate with a note about why.
