Tools that fit

api

HTTP Request : Fetch Magento 2 inventory data via REST API

LLM

Code : Process stock levels and filter products

Services

Gmail : Send HTML formatted low stock reports

Slack : Post formatted text notifications

Watch out for

Magento REST API rate limits can block the run, so add exponential backoff retry logic to your HTTP request configuration.
Gmail SMTP credentials may expire or trigger security alerts, so use an App Password and monitor the connection status regularly.
Slack message length limits can truncate long product descriptions, so ensure the Code node truncates text safely before sending.
Incorrect SKU filtering might send false positives for virtual products, so explicitly exclude non-physical item types in your query parameters.
