Automated Linnworks Low Stock Alerts
Every hour, WebRun opens Linnworks, checks stock levels for every SKU synced across your connected sales channels against its reorder point, posts the low stock list to Telegram, and texts the warehouse manager through Twilio for anything that's about to hit zero.
How do I catch low stock across channels before I oversell?
WebRun checks stock levels across every channel synced in Linnworks each hour, compares them against the reorder point already set for each SKU, and posts a low stock list to Telegram. If a SKU is about to hit zero, it also texts the warehouse manager through Twilio, catching an overselling risk before a customer ever sees it.
- Overselling risk is caught before a customer orders an out of stock item
- Critical stock reaches the warehouse manager by text within the hour
- Every channel is checked from one place instead of several dashboards
Built for multichannel ecommerce sellers · warehouse managers · inventory planners · Amazon and eBay sellers

Questions, answered
Does it pause listings or stop sales automatically?
No. WebRun only reads stock levels in Linnworks and alerts your team. Pausing a listing or adjusting stock buffers stays a manual decision.
How is a reorder point set?
It uses the reorder point already configured for each SKU in Linnworks, so the alert matches the thresholds you've already set for your business.
Will I get repeat texts for the same low stock item?
No. The Telegram list keeps showing it every hour it stays low, but the text only fires once per SKU per day.
