1.Runs hourly to trigger updates
Integrate Schedule by Zapier with automation logic to start the inventory refresh run and kick off master product updates.
Update inventory records in your master product table
Automatically monitors in-stock inventory records across Zapier Tables and waits before updates. Create and update when hourly run starts, source writes complete, or inventory snapshot changesβso you can refresh master quantities, prevent stale stock, and compute derived fields without manual spreadsheet updates.
How this automation updates your master inventory
When the hourly inventory data is left to chance, marketing can send with inaccurate stock and prices. This automation schedules a run, finds matching in-stock records, then creates or updates master product records and computes derived inventory values automatically.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism β I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
Raphael Bochner, Founder and CIO
Zapier gives us unlimited flexibility and creativity. With Zapier, you're like an artist with a blank canvas. I don't know what we'd do without it.
