Automated Sintel Expiring Batch Markdowns

Every morning, WebRun opens Sintel Systems, finds fudge and cream-filled batches nearing their best-by date, drafts a limited-time clearance highlight in Klaviyo for you to review before sending, and posts staff a Slack list of exactly which batches to mark down or move to the clearance case today.

In short

How do I mark down fudge batches before they expire?

WebRun catches fudge and cream-filled batches before they go to waste. Each morning it finds batches in Sintel Systems within three days of their best-by date, drafts a limited-time clearance highlight in Klaviyo for your review, and posts staff a Slack list of exactly which batches to mark down and where, so nothing expires quietly in the back case.

  • Batches nearing their best-by date get a markdown plan before they're wasted
  • A ready-to-review clearance offer waits in Klaviyo every morning
  • Staff get an exact list of what to discount and where it sits

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it send the clearance offer to customers automatically?

No. WebRun only drafts the clearance highlight in Klaviyo. It stays unsent until you review the discount and batches and choose to send it yourself.

How does it decide a batch is nearing expiry?

It reads the batch and production date you log in Sintel Systems and flags anything within 3 days of its best-by date. Tell WebRun a different window and it uses that instead.

What if a batch sells out before it's marked down?

It reads live stock counts in Sintel Systems each morning, so any batch that already sold through is dropped from the list automatically.

Put this on autopilot.
