Scenario

How many days of stock are left: an automatic report

The report arrives on Monday morning: what runs out this week, what runs out in two, and how fast it has been selling. No file exports, no hand-written formulas.

How it works

  1. Monday at seven

    The scenario runs on a schedule. The time and the days are yours to pick.

  2. Sales and stock

    Oxta pulls current stock and recent sales from your CRM, shop or database.

  3. Report to chat

    It works out how many days each line has left, sorts the worst first, and sends it to Telegram or email.

What you need to connect

  • A source of stock and sales: CRM, shop or database.
  • The chat or mailbox the report goes to.
  • Optionally a threshold: how many days of cover counts as alarming.

What a run looks like

A report is where a silent failure costs the most: if the scenario quietly stopped counting, you find out when the shelf is empty.

So every run is kept in full: how many lines came from the CRM, which of them made the report, and why. If the source returned an empty list you get a warning, not an empty report.

What it costs

One report is one run, however many product lines it covers. A weekly report is about four runs a month, so the free tier covers it many times over.

The essentials, briefly

How is “days of cover” calculated?

Current stock divided by average daily sales over a period you choose. Both the period and the alarm threshold are configurable.

Can I get the report more often?

Yes, the schedule is free-form: daily, twice a week, working days only.

Can it go to a Google Sheet instead of a chat?

Yes — a chat and a sheet are simply different last steps of the same scenario.
