Automated Brewery Finished Goods Low Stock Alerts
Every morning, WebRun opens Ekos, checks every finished-goods SKU against your minimum stock targets, logs any below-threshold SKU to a running Google Sheet, and posts a Slack alert so your production or sales team can prioritize packaging or manage distributor expectations before a shortage becomes a problem.
How do I get automatic alerts when finished-goods beer or wine stock runs low?

Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it contact distributors or notify customers about shortages?
No. All alerts are internal to your Slack channel. No external communication about stock levels goes out without a human decision.
How do I set the minimum stock level for each SKU?
Minimums are set directly in Ekos on each inventory item. WebRun reads those values each run, so any changes you make in Ekos are reflected automatically the following morning.
What if no SKUs are below minimum today?
It posts a brief all-clear note to Slack confirming that all finished-goods SKUs are above minimum, so your team gets a daily confirmation rather than silence.
