Getting Started: How do notifications work?

A guide on using the Connex notification system

Introduction

Connex Inventory Planner can send you a notification, if a financial event happens or if your products are over or understocked.

What do notifications look like?

Click the bell icon to see notifications. Connex will send you notifications, even if you are signed out of the planner.

How do I configure notifications?

Here are the steps:

Log into Connex.
Click settings.
Select a connection.
Choose notifications.
Turn them on or off:

How do low and overstocked inventory work?

Our software pulls the inventory planner report. Connex compares the days supply to the product lead time. Based on the difference, Connex sends a notification. To configure those notifications, follow these steps:

To the settings page of Connex and choose a channel.
Click inventory notifications.
The first field pulls the inventory planner report, based on a date range. Enter 90 days. Connex will pull orders from the last 90 days to make the report.
In the overstock field, enter 100. This means if your days supply plus 100 is less than the product lead time, Connex sends a notification.
In the understock field, enter 7. This means if your days supply plus 7 is more than the product lead time, Connex sends a notification.

What kind of notifications will I receive?
