Never Run Out of Stock Again

Adaptive monitors your Square inventory in the background and alerts you in Slack when items are running low — then drafts a restock email to your supplier so all you do is hit send.

I run a retail store and I keep running out of my best sellers because I forget to check inventory. Can you alert me before stuff runs out?

Definitely. Let me connect to your Square account so I can see your inventory levels.

I want a Slack message when anything drops below 10 units. And for my top 5 items, alert me at 20 units because those sell fast.

Done. I've set a 10-unit threshold for everything and 20 units for your top 5 sellers. I'll check levels twice a day and post alerts to your Slack channel.

Checks at 10 AM & 4 PM · custom thresholds set

Can you also draft a restock email to my supplier when something hits the threshold? I just want to review it and send.

When an item hits the threshold, I'll draft a restock email with the item name, current quantity, and your usual order amount — pulled from your last three purchase orders. It'll sit in your drafts so you can review and send with one click.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about low inventory alerts with restock reminders.

Adaptive connects to your Square POS and monitors stock levels on a schedule. When any item drops below your custom threshold, it sends an instant Slack notification. You set the thresholds and the check frequency — Adaptive handles the monitoring.

The most effective approach is threshold-based monitoring with automated supplier communication. Adaptive watches your Square inventory and drafts restock emails to your supplier when items run low — complete with item names, current quantities, and suggested order amounts based on your purchase history.

Yes. With Adaptive, you set a default threshold for your entire catalog and then override it for specific items. Fast-selling products can have higher thresholds so you get more lead time, while slow movers have lower ones to avoid over-ordering.

Adaptive checks your Square inventory automatically — as often as every hour — and sends alerts the moment anything drops below your threshold. You never need to log into Square to check stock levels. The alerts come to you in Slack with all the context you need to reorder.

Adaptive connects to Square and lets you set up inventory monitoring, alerts, and restock workflows by describing what you want in plain English. No spreadsheets, no custom integrations, and no developer required.
