Update Shopify Stock Levels Based on Odoo Inventory Changes

This trigger monitors your Odoo stock.quant records for any updates to inventory levels and runs automatically every hour. When someone adjusts inventory in Odoo—whether through receiving new stock, processing sales, or making manual corrections—this step captures those changes and starts the workflow. The system pulls the updated quantity data and product reference codes needed for the next steps. This runs completely automatically with no configuration required on your part.

This step takes the product reference code from your Odoo inventory change and looks up the corresponding Shopify product variant details. Shopify needs specific internal IDs (like inventory_item_id) rather than SKUs to update inventory, so this step acts as a translator between your two systems. The lookup happens automatically using Shopify's API and retrieves all the variant information needed for the inventory update. If the SKU doesn't exist in Shopify, the workflow will skip that product and continue with others.

This step sends the updated inventory quantity to Shopify using the variant details from the previous step. You'll need to specify your store's location ID where the inventory should be updated—this is typically your primary fulfillment location in Shopify. The system takes the available quantity from Odoo and sets it as the new inventory level in Shopify for that specific product variant. Make sure the location you choose is enabled and actively used for inventory tracking before activating the workflow.
