Detect the new inventory item
The flow starts when a new inventory item is created in NetSuite.
About this template
What This Workflow Does
When a new inventory item is added in NetSuite, someone still has to find the matching product in Shopify, switch it on at each location and key in the stock. This template starts as soon as the item is created in NetSuite, finds the Shopify product through its default variant, activates the item at your Shopify locations and updates its inventory from the NetSuite record.
Key benefits
- Starts on item creation — The sync runs when a new inventory item is created in NetSuite, with no export or schedule.
- Location activation built in — The item is activated at your Shopify locations before stock is written, so each update has a location to land on.
- Stock set from NetSuite — Inventory quantity comes from the NetSuite item record, not from manual entry.
- Configurable settings — Price level, inventory name and adjustment reason can be changed to match how your team works.
Inside the flow
How the template works
The flow starts when a new inventory item is created in NetSuite, reads its quantity and its price at the configured price level (Standard Price (1) by default) and finds the matching Shopify product by its default variant. It then activates the item at your Shopify locations and updates Shopify inventory with a configurable inventory name and adjustment reason.
Read inventory and price details
The flow reads the item's inventory quantity and its price at the configured price level. Standard Price (1) is the default and can be changed.
Find the Shopify product
The flow looks up the matching product in Shopify through its default variant.
Collect Shopify locations
In a parallel branch, the flow pulls the list of Shopify inventory locations and merges it with the product data.
Activate the item at each location
The flow activates the inventory item at the identified Shopify locations so stock can be tracked there.
Update Shopify inventory
The flow combines the NetSuite inventory data with the Shopify product and updates its inventory. The inventory name and adjustment reason are configurable.
Business Benefits
What changes when new NetSuite items reach Shopify locations without manual setup
01
New items ready at each location
Every new NetSuite item is activated at the identified Shopify locations, so location setup no longer depends on someone remembering each one.
02
Less manual stock entry
Quantities move from NetSuite to Shopify through the flow instead of being retyped product by product.
03
Consistent product matching
Finding the Shopify product through its default variant ties each NetSuite item to the right product record.
04
Clearly labeled adjustments
Each inventory update carries the inventory name and adjustment reason your team configures.
05
Repeatable as the catalog grows
Every new item follows the same lookup, activation and update sequence, so setup effort stays flat as products are added.
