What it does
Inventory alerts sends your team an email as soon as a product's stock drops below a threshold you choose, so you can reorder before you sell out. Set a rule once, and EasyScan keeps watching stock levels for you.
Where to find it
Open Inventory alerts from either of these spots:
Dashboard → Inventory management card → Alerts
Inventory requirements → Alerts (top action)
Turning on alerts
On the Inventory alerts page, use the status card to:
Turn on alerts (or turn them off any time)
Set a daily digest hour — the time of day, in your store's timezone, when EasyScan sends the combined daily summary email
Creating an alert rule
Each rule tells EasyScan what to watch, when to alert, and who to email. Select Create rule and choose:
Scope
Where the rule applies — storewide, a specific collection, or a specific location.
Threshold
When it fires — a fixed quantity you set, your saved inventory requirements minimum (reorder point), or a days-of-cover estimate based on recent sales velocity.
Delivery
Instant (email as soon as it fires) or daily digest (one combined email at your chosen digest hour).
Recipients
Who gets the email for this rule. Once a variant's stock recovers above the threshold, it can trigger the rule again.

If you downgrade
Your rules are never deleted. If a downgrade puts you over your new plan's limits — too many rules, or a rule using an Advanced-only setting like location scope, instant delivery, or extra recipients — those rules are automatically paused rather than removed. Upgrading again restores them exactly as they were.
