Set up business alerts

Business alerts let you build a simple watch list for the metrics that matter to your store, like low inventory or a sudden change in quantity sold, without writing any rules or code. This article covers what alerts do, how to set one up, and what they will not do.

What business alerts are

In Settings → Automations → Alerts, DashVue gives you a list of checks you can switch on. For each one you set the line you care about (for example, a stock threshold) and a severity level. Once a check is on, DashVue watches for it and flags it in the app.

This is a no-code watch list, not a rules builder. You are not writing conditions or chaining actions together: you flip a switch, pick a number and a severity, and DashVue does the watching.

How to set one up

1. Go to Settings → Automations and open the Alerts tab.
2. Find the check you want, such as low inventory or quantity sold, and switch it on.
3. Set the line for that check, for example the stock level that should trigger it.
4. Choose a severity for the alert so you can tell it apart from less urgent flags.
5. Save. DashVue starts watching from that point and flags matches live and in a once-a-day sweep.

You can come back at any time to adjust the line, change the severity, or switch a check off again.

Where you will see alerts

Alerts are flagged inside DashVue itself: live as things happen, and again in a once-a-day pass so nothing gets missed between visits. There is no separate alerts inbox to check elsewhere, it all surfaces in the app.

What alerts will not do

It is worth being clear about the boundaries here. This is a watch list, not a listing-content automation builder. Turning on an alert will never edit your listing titles, descriptions, images, or prices, and it will never publish or change anything on eBay on your behalf. It only flags what it sees so you can decide what to do next.
