Automations & Triggers

Automate the moments that slow you down.

Use event triggers to remove manual handoffs from goods-in to dispatch. Configure once. Let rules fire tasks, updates, and notifications the instant work is ready.

Fewer keystrokes.

Fewer errors.

Faster flow.

The old way vs Clarus.

Spreadsheets got you here. They won't get you further.

Before

Operations relied on inboxes and memory, and delays crept in

Inventory updates lagged, orders waited for someone to notice

Manual data entry meant more corrections and customer escalations

Every integration meant custom code to move data between steps

After

Automated actions replace manual updates, hands-off between steps

A completed receipt raises putaway tasks automatically, no rekeying

Quality checks and holds apply automatically when conditions are met

Triggers drop files to SFTP or call webhooks, no custom code needed

How it works.

Start seeing results straight away.

A receipt confirmed trigger defined once, automatically creating a task, updating status and sending a notification.

Minimise human error in data entry.

Replace manual updates with automated actions. Define a trigger once, then let the system generate tasks, update statuses, and notify stakeholders. Cleaner data means fewer corrections and fewer customer escalations.

Maintain a steady operational rhythm.

Protect throughput with hands-off transitions between steps. Receipts flow to putaway. Orders flow to pick, pack, and dispatch. Quality checks and holds apply automatically when conditions are met. Your floor keeps moving.

A shipped order event firing a customer confirmation, an instant webhook call and a support view that stays on the same live picture, with no chasing needed.

Improve service with faster responses.

Give customers timely updates without chasing. Triggers can send confirmations, export files, or call webhooks as events occur. Support teams see the same live picture and can act immediately when something changes.

Configurable without code.

Build, test, and refine automations in the platform. Choose the event. Add conditions. Define the action. Deploy confidently and scale rules as you grow.

Fix bottlenecks with event-driven workflows. Work smarter.

When operations rely on inboxes and memory, delays creep in. Inventory updates lag. Orders wait for someone to notice the next step. With Clarus WMS, event triggers connect every stage. A completed receipt automatically raises putaway tasks. A released order generates directed picks and flows to pack and ship without rekeying. Exceptions route to the right person with context. Accuracy lifts. Lead times shrink. Your team focuses on value instead of admin.

How this feature helps your team.

Head of operations reviews live automations and throughput driven by event triggers.

Head of Operations

Set policy once and roll it out safely. Define which events raise tasks, when to enforce quality holds, and when to alert customers. Event triggers provide a control layer for SLAs and cost, so performance is designed in, not chased later.

Warehouse manager oversees tasks auto-generated from receipts to despatch by event triggers.

Warehouse Manager

Putaway, replen, and pick lists arrive just-in-time. Tasks are sequenced by cut-off and capacity, not by email. Exceptions show with clear next actions. The result is fewer stoppages, cleaner benches, and on-time dispatch.

It systems lead configures a webhook and file export triggered by order despatch events.

IT Systems Lead

Expose the right data at the right time. Use triggers to drop files to SFTP, call webhooks, and push event payloads to partners without bespoke code. You standardise integrations across customers while staying agile.

QUESTIONS BUYERS ACTUALLY ASK.

Frequently asked questions

How do event triggers integrate with our existing systems?

Clarus exposes modern APIs, secure SFTP, and webhooks so you can connect to ERPs, OMS, carriers, and partners. Triggers can generate export files in CSV, XML, or text and deliver them automatically, or push structured payloads to your endpoints. Because rules are configured in-platform, you can iterate without waiting for custom development.

Can we control when a trigger fires… by site, customer, or product?

Yes. Add conditions to target specific warehouses, customer accounts, carriers, or SKUs. For example, you can notify only when an order for Account X leaves Warehouse B, or apply a hold when a product class fails a tolerance. Conditions keep automation precise and prevent noisy alerts.

Do event triggers help with inventory accuracy?

They do. As events occur, the system updates statuses, adjusts stock, and raises follow-on tasks automatically. That reduces lag between physical movement and system truth. With fewer manual entries, you avoid duplication, missed steps, and preventable discrepancies.

What formats and destinations are supported for exports?

Create text, CSV, or XML files with columns you control and drop them to SFTP on schedule or immediately when an event occurs. You can also call webhooks with payloads tailored to partner needs. File naming conventions are configurable per customer so everyone gets the format they expect.

How should we roll out automation without disrupting operations?

Start small. Pick a simple but valuable trigger, such as generating a despatch confirmation file for one customer. Validate the outcome, then expand to more events and partners. This incremental approach speeds time-to-value and builds internal confidence.

Will event triggers replace my team’s judgement?

No. They take care of the predictable, repeatable steps so your team can focus on exceptions and improvement. You still set the rules and retain overrides. Automation amplifies good process. It doesn’t remove control.
