What it does

You receive instant Slack or email notifications for every new order so your team can start fulfillment immediately. The system also monitors your Google Sheets inventory daily to alert you when stock runs low, ensuring you never miss a restock opportunity. Finally, it automatically sends post-purchase feedback emails to customers after their delivery arrives via Gmail.

Watch out for

Gmail API quotas are strict so implement retry logic to handle temporary send failures gracefully.
Webhook payloads may contain unexpected null values so add error handling nodes to prevent workflow crashes.
Google Sheets reads can be slow for large datasets so filter rows at the source or use pagination limits.
Slack message formatting breaks if special characters are not escaped properly so sanitize all input strings before sending.
