Frequently asked questions
Where do I find my Zendrop API key?
Log into your Zendrop account, navigate to Settings or Developer Settings, and look for the API section. Copy your API key and paste it into the Authorization header of the HTTP Request node. Keep it private and never share it publicly.
Can I change the stock threshold from 10 to a different number?
Yes. Open the IF node and change the right-hand value from 10 to any number that suits your reorder point. For example, enter 25 if you want alerts when stock falls below 25 units.
Will I get a flood of emails if many products are low on stock?
Currently the workflow sends one email per low-stock product per run. To consolidate them into a single digest email, you can add an Aggregate or Code node between the IF and Gmail nodes to combine all product names into one message body before sending.
