WooCommerce Low Stock Alerts to Telegram (n8n Workflow)

Never run out of stock unnoticed — get WooCommerce low-stock alerts in Telegram

This n8n workflow checks your WooCommerce inventory every six hours and automatically sends a Telegram message whenever an in-stock product drops to 5 units or fewer. Keep your team informed instantly—right where you already communicate.

What this workflow does

• Schedules a run every 6 hours using an n8n Schedule Trigger.
• Calls the WooCommerce REST API to request up to 100 in-stock products from: https://YOUR-STORE-DOMAIN.com/wp-json/wc/v3/products.
• Filters by remaining stock by reading each product’s stock_quantity and keeping only items with ≤ 5 units available.
• Builds a low-stock alert message that includes the product name, remaining quantity, and SKU.
• Sends the alert to Telegram to your configured destination chat or channel (via YOUR_TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID).

Use cases

• Warehouse and inventory teams want quick visibility when popular items are nearing depletion.
• Store operators need proactive alerts to reorder before customers are impacted.
• SaaS operators managing multiple WooCommerce stores can monitor low stock without manual checking.
