Copy this prompt 
I run an online shop on [STORE PLATFORM]. Below are my supplier's latest stock list and my store's stock list: [PASTE BOTH]. Please: 1) match items by name or item number, 2) make a table showing supplier stock, my stock, and the difference, 3) list items at 0 so I can hide them, 4) flag anything below [LOW STOCK NUMBER], and 5) write a short restock order email to [SUPPLIER NAME] for the low items. I will update my store myself.

How to set it up

  1. Send supplier stock updates into a Google Sheet.
  2. Have Zapier update Shopify stock from the sheet.
  3. Hide items when they hit 0.
  4. Send a Slack alert below your low-stock number.
  5. Add a weekly restock reminder.
