Inventory Check

This is a simple yet powerful workflow that introduces the new Inventory Check endpoint, allowing you to retrieve all inventory data for a specific product. To use this workflow, you only need your Shop ID and the product name you want to check.

For users, this flow provides insights into the availability of each product variant. At first glance, this may not seem particularly useful, but let’s explore its full potential with the next addition!

Back in Stock Flow (Klaviyo Integration)

What happens when a user wants to buy a product that is out of stock? The Back in Stock flow integrates Klaviyo’s API with a pre-built Klaviyo Flow and the inventory check function to gather variant information.

When a user subscribes to the Back in Stock Subscription List, they will receive an email notification as soon as the desired product is restocked.

How It Works

1. The user's email is captured.

2. The product title and variant are recorded.

3. Using this information, the user is subscribed to the Back in Stock List.

4. Once the item is restocked, Klaviyo triggers an email notification.

5. The user receives an email with a direct link to purchase the now-available product.

Instructions on Setting It Up

1. Enter your Shop ID in the "Check Stock" function.
   

2. Enter your Klaviyo API key in the "Back in Stock" function.

   • Generate a custom API key with read and write access to lists, catalogs, and profiles.
     

3. Connect your Shopify store with your Klaviyo account via the Integrations tab in the Klaviyo Dashboard.

4. Create a new flow using the Standard Back in Stock template.

   • You can customize the email layout to match your brand, but no additional changes are required for the flow to function.

     
     

And that's it! Your Back in Stock flow is now up and running. Below is an example of what the email notification will look like when a product becomes available again, followed by the next step!
