Flow · Alerts & monitoring
Know when something needs attention.
Turn the checks your team repeats into useful notifications. Flow watches the relevant POS data on schedule and tells the right person only when the condition you define is met.
Exceptions found automaticallyUseful context includedRight person notified
A precise rule becomes a clear notification with the context to respond.
Define once. Check automatically.
The right person hears about the exception—not every normal result.
Turn one recurring check into a saved rule. Flow runs it on schedule, keeps a history of the matches and sends a notification when there is something to act on.
01
Describe the exception
Choose the records and conditions that separate a genuine issue from normal activity.
02
Preview real matches
Check the matching rows and their connected context before the alert starts running.
03
Choose who needs to know
Set the recipients, subject and message so the notification reaches the person who can respond.
04

Run the check automatically and keep a record of when each alert matched and was delivered.

A useful alert explains what matched, where it happened and which records need attention. Customise the email around the action you want the recipient to take.
01
Name the issue clearly
Use your own subject and message so the recipient knows why the alert matters.
02
Include the matching records
Show the relevant rows in the email and attach the full output when more detail is useful.
03
Add the business context
Include related location, staff, supplier, product or transaction fields in the same result.
