Automated Vendor Central Availability Watch
Every morning, WebRun opens Amazon Vendor Central, reads the items catalog, finds ASINs newly flagged temporarily or permanently unavailable, checks whether recent purchase orders have stopped for them, records the change history in Notion, and drafts a Gmail summary for your vendor manager to review.

How do I catch Vendor Central items that have gone unavailable?
Every morning WebRun opens Amazon Vendor Central, reads the items catalog, and finds ASINs newly flagged temporarily or permanently unavailable. It records each change in Notion with the last purchase order date and drafts a Gmail summary for your vendor manager, so a top seller is never left unorderable unnoticed.
- Availability changes surface the same morning they appear
- The last purchase order date sits next to every flagged ASIN
- Nothing is edited in the catalog and no email is sent without you

Questions, answered
Will it change item status or contact Amazon?
No. WebRun reads the items catalog and reports what changed. Editing availability, updating cost, or raising a case with Amazon stays with your team, and the Gmail summary is left as a draft you approve.
How does it know something changed?
It compares today's availability status on each ASIN against the record it kept yesterday in Notion, so only genuine changes are reported rather than the whole catalog every morning.
Does it cover items with no recent purchase orders?
Yes. An ASIN whose orders dried up while its status changed is flagged specifically, because that combination is the one that quietly costs you a top seller.
