Track low-stock alerts — AI Prompts for Shopify

The four heights

The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

Make sure managers get notified when products hit reorder thresholds. Set low-stock alerts to email Anna in purchasing and Slack the #reorder channel when stock for any SKU falls to or below its threshold, specifically for the top 200 SKUs.

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
