Stock rules warn you when stock runs low. Each rule's timing setting decides when Shuttle emails you about the alerts that rule raises. Choose Real-time to hear about low stock straight away, or Fixed-time to get alerts together once a day.
When does a Real-time rule email you?
A stock rule set to Real-time emails you as soon as an order brings stock down to the rule's threshold. Choose Real-time when you want to react to low stock straight away.
When does a Fixed-time rule email you?
A stock rule set to Fixed-time collects its alerts and sends them once a day, at the time you choose. Choose Fixed-time when you prefer to review stock alerts in one go.
How fixed-time alerts reach you depends on the Send me a daily summary of stock alerts setting:
With the daily summary on, which is the default, fixed-time alerts don't get their own email. They go into your daily summary instead, which covers every alert from the past day and comes with a CSV file. Shuttle skips the summary on days with no alerts.
With the daily summary off, each fixed-time rule sends its own email at your chosen time.
Choose when fixed-time alerts arrive
You set the delivery time for fixed-time alerts and the daily summary in your notification settings.
In Shuttle, go to Settings > Alerts & Notifications.
Under Fixed time delivery, choose your Time zone and Preferred time.
Click Save.
Make sure you have selected and saved a time zone. If no time zone is saved, Shuttle doesn't send fixed-time alerts or daily summaries.
Change a stock rule's timing
You can switch any stock rule between real-time and fixed-time alerts at any time.
In Shuttle, go to Inventory > Stock Rules.
Open the rule you want to change.
Under Timing, choose Real-time, alert immediately or Fixed-time, batch into the daily summary.
Click Save.
When you add a quick rule, the same choice appears as Real-time or Scheduled.
