Duration5-10 minutes

Cross-checks inventory risk against paid social activity so marketers do not keep spending on products that cannot fulfill demand.

How it runs

Multi-agent orchestration — here's the flow, step by step.

01

Call verslay_recall to retrieve prior low-stock thresholds, paused ad records, and inventory alert history from memory. Query Shopify via the shopify connection to pull current inventory levels for all active products — flag any SKUs at or below the configured low-stock threshold. Simultaneously pull current active ad sets from Meta via the meta connection. Produce an inventory risk register paired with active ad spend map.

shopify commerce operator
02

Consume Phase 1 inventory risk register and active ad spend map. For each flagged low-stock SKU, identify all Meta ad sets and campaigns currently promoting that product. Calculate estimated wasted spend if ads continue running against out-of-stock or near-out-of-stock inventory. Produce a pause action list with: ad set ID, campaign name, product, current daily spend, and recommended pause reason.

meta ads social operator
02

In parallel with meta-ads-social-operator, call verslay_exclusive_meta_ads_search on competitor brand names to check if competitors are actively running ads on the same low-stock product categories — this signals whether pausing creates a market share opportunity or risk. Call verslay_web_search for supply chain news or product availability updates relevant to the affected SKUs. Produce a competitive context brief.

competitive intel
03

Consume Phase 2 pause action list, Phase 2 wasted-spend estimates, and Phase 2 competitive context. Calculate revenue risk from pausing ads (lost conversions during stockout) vs. revenue waste from continuing ads (ad spend burned on unshippable orders). Score each SKU by pause urgency (immediate, monitor, hold). Call verslay_chart_create to produce an inventory-vs-ad-spend risk matrix. Produce final pause decision recommendations.

revenue analyst
04

Consume Phase 3 pause decision recommendations. Execute the approved pause actions via the Meta connection — pause or set budget to $0 on all ad sets flagged as immediate. Log each action with: ad set ID, pause timestamp, and trigger SKU. For SKUs flagged as 'monitor', set automated budget caps. Confirm all pause operations and produce an execution receipt.

meta ads social operator
05

Consume Phase 3 risk matrix, Phase 4 execution receipt, and all context. Produce an action brief: inventory status summary, list of paused ad sets with rationale, wasted-spend saved estimate, competitive context, restock alert schedule, and recommended ad restart triggers when stock is replenished. Call verslay_memorize to store low-stock thresholds, pause logic, and restock targets in memory.

executive briefing writer
05

Receive the action brief from executive-briefing-writer. Deliver it to the configured Slack channel or email recipient specified by the user. Confirm delivery and log send timestamp.
