Automatic IKEA Stock Availability Alerts

Every morning, WebRun opens ikea.com, looks up each product number on your shopping list against stock at your chosen store, notes what came back in and what is still unavailable, drafts a back-in-stock note in Gmail for you to approve, and updates the fit-out card in Trello.

In short

How do I get told when an out of stock IKEA item is back at my store?

Every morning, WebRun opens ikea.com, checks each product number on your shopping list against stock at your chosen store, and spots the items that came back in. It drafts a back-in-stock note in Gmail for you to approve and updates the fit-out card in Trello.

  • You hear the morning stock lands instead of checking the site daily
  • A fit-out is not held up for weeks over two missing pieces
  • Every item carries the days it has been waiting, so old gaps stand out

Questions, answered

Will it buy anything or place an order?

No. WebRun only checks availability and reports it. No basket is filled and no order is placed, so nothing is ever bought without you deciding to buy it.

Does it send the email on its own?

No. The back-in-stock note is left in Gmail Drafts for you to read and send. WebRun writes it, you approve it.

Can it watch more than one store?

Yes. List the stores you are willing to collect from and WebRun checks each item against all of them, reporting which store has it today.

Put this on autopilot.
