Automated Nextar Perishable Expiration Alerts
Every morning, WebRun opens Nextar, checks the expiration date on every perishable lot in stock, adds anything expiring soon to a markdown watchlist in Google Sheets, and posts your team a Slack alert of what to pull or discount today.
How do I get alerted before Nextar perishables expire?
Every morning, WebRun checks the expiration date on every perishable lot tracked in Nextar and flags anything expiring within your set window. It adds the product, quantity, and days remaining to a markdown watchlist in Google Sheets and posts it to Slack, so your team marks down or pulls stock before it becomes a write off.
- Expiring stock gets flagged days before it spoils
- Teams open Slack to a ranked markdown watchlist every morning
- Already discounted lots drop off the list automatically
Built for grocery stores · minimarkets · bakeries · Nextar POS users

Questions, answered
Does it mark items down or pull them for me?
No. It only builds the watchlist and tells your team what is expiring soon. A person still decides to discount, pull, or donate each item.
How far ahead does it check?
You set the window, commonly 3 to 7 days, and it flags any lot whose Nextar expiration date falls inside it.
What if a lot already got marked down?
It reads the live perishable data in Nextar each morning, so anything already discounted or removed drops off the list automatically.
