Inside the flow
How the template works
appse ai runs this workflow end to end for Zoho Books — automatically, every single day. Here is exactly what happens when this template runs.
Search unshipped orders in Zoho Books
Searches Zoho Books for sales orders with shipped_status=pending to retrieve all unshipped orders that need to be reviewed before fulfillment.
Split unshipped orders
A Splitter node separates the list of unshipped sales orders into individual records for per-customer processing.
Get all order details of each customer in Zoho Books
For each unshipped order, searches Zoho Books for all sales orders associated with the same customer name to build a complete order history for comparison.
Split by orders and aggregate
A Splitter node breaks the customer's order history into individual orders, and an Aggregator compiles them into a single collection for AI analysis.
AI analyzes order anomalies via OpenAI
OpenAI (GPT-4o-mini) acts as an order fulfilment professional to identify anomalies in the sales orders, focusing on unusual discounts, unusual items ordered, and unusual quantities that don't match the customer's order history.
Parse anomaly data
A JSON Converter node parses the structured AI response into actionable fields containing the order number and anomaly details.
Split orders with anomalies
A Splitter node separates the anomaly results for individual order processing.
Send notification for order anomaly via Microsoft Teams
Sends a message to a Microsoft Teams channel notifying the sales team about the detected anomaly, including the unshipped sales order number and anomaly details, prompting them to verify the order.
