Fetches all products from WooCommerce.\n\n2. Evaluates each product\u2019s stock quantity based on category-specific thresholds.\n\n3. Separates products into:\n     - Low stock\n     - Very low (urgent) stock\n\n4. Sends:\n     - A low stock alert to a dedicated Slack channel.\n     - A very low stock alert that:\n          - Creates a Jira issue\n          - Sends a Slack alert including the Jira ticket details.\n\n\nThis ensures teams are proactively notified and urgent stock shortages are tracked and resolved quickly.\n\n\n\n\n\n## Setup Steps\n\n1. Configure Schedule Trigger\n   - Set the Schedule Trigger to run every Monday at midnight.\n\n2. Connect WooCommerce\n   - Add WooCommerce credentials.\n   - Use the Get many products operation to fetch all products.\n\n3. Define Stock Thresholds\n   - In the \u201cSeparate products to low stock and very low stock\u201d Code node:\n       - Set category-wise thresholds for:\n           - Low stock\n           - Urgent (very low) stock\n\n4. Configure Slack Integration\n   - Connect your Slack workspace.\n   - Select:\n     - One channel for low stock alerts\n     - One channel for urgent low stock alerts\n\n5. Configure Jira Integration\n   - Connect Jira Software Cloud credentials.\n   - Select:\n     - Project\n     - Issue type\n     - Assignee\n     - Priority\n\n6. Activate Workflow\n   - Once activated, alerts and Jira issues will be generated automatically every week."
