How does Codat work for inventory automation?
Codat works for inventory automation by powering a DeskFerry agent that runs the workflow end-to-end inside your existing tools — no code, no custom build.
- 01
Trigger fires
The agent connects to Codat alongside the other apps your team already uses, watches for the triggers that matter for inventory, and takes the next step on its own while keeping a complete audit trail for review.
- 02
Sync inventory between Shopify and our warehouse
AI predicts stock needs based on historical data, seasonality, and market trends.
- 03
@Codat reorders SKUs at threshold and posts the ledger to @Sheets nightly
Teams typically see materially lower via predictive reorder once the agent is in production.
- 04
You approve
You stay in control: every action is logged, confidence thresholds are configurable, and anything ambiguous is queued for a human instead of being silently auto-completed.
How you tell it what to do
Built in plain English.
You write the rule the way you'd describe it to a teammate. The agent reads the rule, breaks it into the actions it'll take, and confirms the apps it'll touch — before it does anything.
