Short answer

How can I sync bulk inventory via CSV with my AI?

Give your agent a direct URL to a CSV file containing your updated stock levels. It uses the ShipHero connector to parse the data and push updates to your warehouse. You'll see exactly what changed once it finishes.

The results

Where your data lands

The AI handles the data processing and system updates for you.

AUTOMATION

Bulk stock updates

The AI reads the CSV and applies the new quantities to ShipHero. You get a synchronized warehouse without manual entry.

ACCURACY

Data validation

Your agent checks the CSV rows against your current records. It catches mismatches before the sync finishes.

REPORTS

Sync summaries

The AI provides a breakdown of how many items were updated or skipped. You'll know the exact state of your inventory.

HUMAN

Manual overrides

If the AI finds a SKU that doesn't exist in ShipHero, it stops and asks you what to do. You decide if it should skip or create a new item.

The workflow

What your AI does when the CSV arrives.

The AI moves from reading your file to updating your warehouse in a few steps.

  1. File ingestion

    Your agent accesses the CSV file via the URL you provided. It reads the headers and maps the columns to the correct fields.

  2. Inventory matching

    The AI looks up each SKU from the file within your ShipHero account. It ensures the items exist before making changes.

    sync_inventory

  3. Stock adjustment

    The agent pushes the new quantities to the warehouse. It updates the available stock levels for every matched item.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI create new products in ShipHero?

    No. The sync tool only updates existing inventory levels. You must add new products to ShipHero manually.

  • 02

    What happens if the CSV link is private?

    The AI cannot access files behind a login. You must provide a URL that your AI client can reach directly.

  • 03

    Will the AI delete my inventory data?

    No. The tool is built to update quantities, not delete product records or warehouse locations.

  • 04

    Does the AI handle partial syncs?

    Yes. If some rows fail, the AI updates the valid rows and reports the failures to you.

  • 05

    Can I use a Google Sheet instead of a CSV?

    No. The tool requires a direct URL to a CSV file. You can export your Google Sheet as a CSV and provide that link.
