Create a Linear Issue When a Shopify Product Sells Out

3 min setup
No coding required
Runs automatically

When a product sells out, someone has to reorder it, hide it, or fix the listing, and that work gets lost in chat. This workflow watches Shopify inventory and opens a Linear issue for your team the moment a variant hits zero, with the product, SKU and location in the issue so whoever picks it up has what they need.

How it works

3 steps to turn every sellout into a Linear issue your team can own

Shopify logo icon

When Shopify inventory changes at a location

App connector: Shopify • Time to complete: 1 minute

Start whenever the available quantity of a variant changes at any location.

Continue only when the variant hits zero

App connector: Filter • Time to complete: 1 minute

Continue only if the available quantity is 0 or less, so restocks and normal sales are ignored.

FAQs

Will it open a new issue every time inventory changes?

No. The filter only lets the workflow continue when the available quantity reaches zero, so ordinary sales and restocks do nothing.

Can I send different products to different Linear teams?

Yes. Add a filter or paths step on product type or vendor and create the issue in a different team for each branch.

Personalize this template

Customize this workflow even further:

Set a priority
Map high-selling products to Urgent priority in the Create Issue step so they rise to the top of the team's queue.
Alert before zero
Change the filter to a low-stock threshold, such as 5 units, to get the issue before the product sells out.
