A Monday standup for your WooCommerce store

WooCommerceBeginner~5 min

Before you start

A connected store with the WooCommerce integration enabled and its read abilities on.

The point of a Monday standup is to find the few things that need a decision before they cost you: the order stuck on hold, the bestseller about to sell out, the coupon quietly expiring on Friday. Clicking through five WooCommerce screens to assemble that by hand is exactly the chore nobody does every week. This is one prompt that walks the store the way a manager would.

The prompt
Run me a Monday morning standup for the store. Read only, just tell me what
needs attention. Pull every order sitting in on-hold or processing, and for
the ones that look stuck (been there too long, flagged, anything that stands
out) pull their notes so I can see what's going on. Then show me products that
are out of stock or running low, and any coupons expiring in the next [7 days].
Close with a short "here's what needs a decision today" list, ordered by what
costs me the most if I ignore it.

Why this is safe to run

It is four reads stitched into one answer: orders by status, the notes on the ones worth chasing, stock levels, and coupons near expiry. None of it can change an order, a price, or a stock count, because listing and reading are separate abilities from every write, and this recipe uses only the reads. If the WooCommerce integration is off, the abilities are not registered and the prompt simply has nothing to call.

How it works

  1. List orders that are on hold or processing.
  2. Pull the notes on orders that look stuck.
  3. Show products that are out of stock or running low.
  4. List coupons expiring in the window you set.
  5. Summarize what needs a decision, ordered by the cost of ignoring it.

Questions

Can it change an order or a price?
No. Every ability here is a read. Listing and reading are separate from every write, and you enable only the reads for this.
What if I don't run WooCommerce?
Then these abilities are not registered and the recipe does nothing. It needs the WooCommerce integration turned on.
