Automate order fulfillment and inventory sync from WooCommerce to Google Sheets and Slack
Automate order fulfillment and inventory sync from WooCommerce to Google Sheets and Slack This workflow provides a robust, end-to-end automated pipeline for managing e-commerce orders. It bridges the gap between your storefront and your fulfillment team by handling inventory validation, multi-channel notifications, and centralized data logging. Who’s it for? This template is designed for e-commerce business owners and operations managers using WooCommerce who want to eliminate manual order processing. It is ideal for teams that need real-time updates on stock availability and automated communication with both customers and warehouse staff. How it works Order Capture: The workflow triggers via a WooCommerce Webhook (real-time) or a Schedule Trigger (hourly sync). Data Extraction: It parses complex order JSON into a clean, usable format. Inventory Check: The system iterates through each line item to verify stock levels. Fulfillment Logic: It determines if an order is "Ready" or "Backordered" and calculates estimated shipping priorities. Multi-Channel Notification: In-Stock: Sends a confirmation email to the customer and alerts the fulfillment team on Slack. Backordered: Sends a delay notice to the customer and alerts the inventory manager on Slack. Data Logging: Every order is appended to a Google Sheet for long-term analytics and tracking. Requirements WooCommerce**: REST API access and Webhook setup. Gmail**: OAuth2 credentials for sending automated emails. Slack**: A Bot Token with permissions to post in #fulfillment and #alerts channels. Google Sheets**: A spreadsheet prepared with headers matching the order data. How to set up Credentials: Connect your WooCommerce, Gmail, Slack, and Google Sheets accounts in the respective nodes. WooCommerce Webhook: Copy the Webhook URL from the first node and paste it into your WooCommerce Webhook settings (Topic: Order Created). Inventory Logic: The "Check Inventory" node currently uses a simulated Code node. Replace this logic with a lookup to your actual inventory database or ERP system. Google Sheets: Open the "Log Order to Sheets" node and select your specific Spreadsheet ID and Sheet Name. How to customize Shipping Rates**: Modify the "Process Order Logic" node to include your specific carrier rates or integrate a shipping API (like ShipStation). Priority Rules**: Adjust the logic to flag "High Value" orders or specific VIP customers for faster processing. Messaging**: Customize the Gmail and Slack message templates to match your brand's voice. An n8n automation workflow template by yu-ya.
