# Inventory Helper Integration

If you would like to receive daily notifications about low inventory in your store, you can use Inventory Helper. Use a default number for all items or set a specific number for certain items.

This guide will show you how to set up and use the Inventory Helper integration in Order Desk.

### Setup

To enable Inventory Helper, click **Manage Integrations** from the Integrations menu in the left sidebar. You’ll find it under the **Productivity** tab.

Alternatively, search for *Inventory Helper* from the available integration search.

### Integration Settings

#### Notification Emails

The admin email on your account will be used as the default email address when the integration is first enabled. You can change this to any email address. Multiple email addresses should be separated by commas.

Any email addresses listed here will receive a daily email about low inventory.

#### Default Reorder Point

If any stock counts fall below the default reorder point, an email notification will be sent.

Once an email is sent for a specific item, a metadata update will be made to the record, and another email won’t be sent until the stock is replenished and then falls below the reorder point again.

If you need to set individual reorder points on specific products, you can do so with item metadata called `reorder_point`. Set the value to the reorder point you want to use for that item.

![](https://251457507-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAQOLMUJWMYtrpQ7Oxxca%2Fuploads%2FUNcft8sYOFJQlt8qvZu8%2Flegacy-08019d656f6d9f4c7c3b.png?alt=media)

If the **Default Reorder Point** field is empty, alerts will only be sent for inventory items that have the `reorder_point` metadata.

#### Check Time

Select the time of day you want Order Desk to check your inventory for low stock.

#### Weekly Check Instead of Daily

Enable this to check for low inventory once a week instead of every day.

### Inventory Webhooks

If you want Order Desk to send inventory change notifications to a custom webhook URL, you can set that up here:

#### Webhook URL

Enter your preferred webhook endpoint URL here. This is where the inventory update data will be sent.

#### Webhook Events

Select the specific inventory events that should trigger the webhook update. You can choose whether webhooks should be sent when items are added, updated, or deleted from Order Desk.

### Skipping Items From Inventory Helper

If you’d like to skip processing for an item in your inventory, use the `inventoryhelper_skip` field with a value of `1`:

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.orderdesk.com/integration-setup-guides/tools-and-productivity/inventory-helper-integration.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
