Catch inventory mismatches between Notion and Airtable

Compares physical stock counts in Notion against Airtable and alerts your team on Slack when they don't match.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; runs once per each inventory item.

The problem it solves

When your physical count and your system count drift apart, you don't usually find out until you're out of stock or sitting on unsold inventory. Checking two separate systems by hand to catch these gaps is easy to skip when things get busy.

Who it fits

Operations or inventory teams tracking stock across two different systems.

How it works

  1. The system pulls physical count records from Notion and system counts from Airtable
  2. It matches items by name and compares the two counts
  3. If they don't match, Airtable is updated with the corrected count and AI writes a short Slack summary
  4. If everything matches, a simple confirmation is sent instead
What you get

Stock discrepancies caught before they become shortages

You get a Slack alert whenever your Notion and Airtable stock counts stop matching.

What you get

A Slack alert whenever counts don't match, plus an automatically corrected Airtable record.

What you need

A Notion account, an Airtable account, a Slack workspace, and an OpenAI API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
