Never Miss Low Stock Again: Get Shopify Alerts in Telegram
Stay ahead with real-time low stock alerts from Shopify sent straight to your Telegram using n8n automation
Why Manual Inventory Checks Are Holding You Back
Running out of stock can cost businesses more than just sales—it’s a blow to customer trust and brand credibility. Yet many e-commerce retailers still rely on manual reports or periodic checks to monitor inventory levels, which increases the risk of delayed reactions.
Without automation, teams are stuck monitoring dashboards or exporting reports at frequent intervals. This not only pulls your time away from sales or marketing efforts but also leaves your business vulnerable to stockout scenarios, especially when dealing with fast-moving inventory.
Integrating Shopify and Telegram Through n8n
n8n serves as the automation bridge between Shopify and Telegram, allowing you to receive real-time inventory alerts the moment stock levels dip below your chosen threshold. The workflow begins with the Shopify Trigger node, configured to monitor product inventory changes.
Once triggered, the workflow uses logic (e.g., an IF node) to compare the available stock quantity to your preset threshold. If the stock is at or below the threshold, a Telegram Node sends a custom notification directly to your smartphone or team channel—no additional app or manual check required.
Step-by-Step Breakdown of the n8n Workflow
The workflow starts with the Shopify Node set to trigger on product update events. A subsequent HTTP Request Node retrieves full inventory data if additional filtering is needed. Then, a Set Node structures metadata such as product name and available quantity for contextual alerts.
An IF Node evaluates whether the stock quantity falls below the critical level you've defined. If it does, a Telegram Node sends a formatted alert to a designated chat. Optionally, a Switch Node or SplitInBatches can be used if monitoring multiple SKUs or sending escalated alerts for certain products.
Transforming Your Inventory Management
Before automation, monitoring stock meant logging into Shopify daily—or worse, losing sales from products that quietly sold out. After implementing this n8n workflow, you’ll never have to worry about inventory surprises again, giving you more time to focus on fulfilling orders and scaling your business.
By turning inventory monitoring into a proactive process, you reduce missed sales, avoid over-ordering, and protect your customer experience. Your team becomes smarter, faster, and more efficient—without adding operational complexity or new software tools.
The ROI of Real-Time Inventory Alerts
Every missed sale from an out-of-stock product is lost revenue—automating these alerts helps recover that revenue by ensuring you always know when to restock. Businesses that adopt this system often report fewer stockouts and better planning accuracy within weeks.
This automation is not only easy to set up with n8n, Telegram, and Shopify—it’s also highly cost-effective. With no coding required and no steep software fees, you're able to introduce enterprise-grade alerting into your business at minimal cost, ensuring a fast return on investment.
