Update vendor records in orders sheet from inventory

Automatically watch vendor create and update events across inFlow Inventory and inventory operations. Update orders sheet records when vendor payloads change or match identifiers so you can keep contact details current, refresh supplier status, and avoid manual vendor lookups.

How this automation keeps vendor records aligned

When vendor details drift between systems, procurement wastes time chasing the latest status and contact info. This automation triggers on vendor create or update events, looks up matching rows, and creates or updates worksheet columnsβ€”so your team can act on current vendor data.

  1. 1.Monitors vendor updated event

    Integrate inFlow Inventory to trigger on vendor create and update events and pass vendor payloads to order sheet matching.
