Pull from Stord

How to authenticate

Stord uses a Bearer token (also called an API secret key). You'll need this token from your Stord account to connect.

1. Get your credentials in Stord
   
   • From the Stord One Console, go to My Profile > API Keys. Select Create API Key.
   • Add or edit the key name to describe why or how the key is used and make it identifiable.
   • Modify the key's permissions. Make sure that you keep your keys extra secure by limiting the access that each key needs.
   • Select Create Token to generate the token's secret
   • Copy the secret to a secure place
2. Connect in Parabola
   
   • In your flow, add a Pull from Stord step.
   • Click Authorize and enter your API secret key (Bearer token) when prompted.
   • Once connected, select the Stord resource you want to pull and configure any filters (dates, SKUs, facilities, order statuses, etc.) offered by the step.

Available data

Parabola can pull a wide range of Stord records across inventory, orders, shipments, and products. Here's what you'll see when using the Stord integration:

• Inventory: View current inventory balances by SKU, lot number, facility, and expiration date. See quantities that are locked, unlocked, and total on-hand.
• Receipt Confirmations: Details on received inventory including order numbers, processing status, and timestamps for purchase and transfer orders.
• Sales Orders: Outbound order information including order details, customer information, delivery addresses, and order status.
• Purchase Orders: Inbound purchase order data with supplier information and expected receipts.
• Transfer Orders: Inter-facility transfer order details showing inventory movements between warehouse locations.
• Shipment Confirmations: Tracking information and shipment details once orders have shipped.
• Order Documents: Access to packing slips and other order-related documents.
• Products: Product catalog information including SKUs, names, product types (items, kits, listings), and attributes.

Common use cases

• Reconcile inventory across multiple Stord facilities to maintain an accurate stock picture.
• Monitor order fulfillment performance by tracking sales orders from creation through shipment confirmation.
• Automate low-stock alerts by pulling inventory balances and flagging SKUs below reorder thresholds.
• Validate receipt confirmations against expected purchase orders to catch receiving discrepancies.
• Create operational dashboards showing fulfillment velocity, order status distribution, and warehouse utilization.
• Audit inventory adjustments by combining adjustment records with reason codes to identify patterns or issues.

Tips for using Parabola with Stord

• Schedule your flows based on operational cadence: hourly during peak fulfillment windows, daily for inventory reconciliation, weekly for performance reporting.
• Use date filters to pull incremental data to avoid reprocessing historical records.
• Combine data sources like sales orders with shipment confirmations to calculate fulfillment speed, or merge inventory balances with adjustments to track accuracy.
• Set up Checks and Alerts to flag exceptions: orders missing shipping info, inventory adjustments without reason codes, or receipt confirmations that don't match expected quantities.
• Filter by facility when working with multi-warehouse operations to analyze performance or inventory levels by location.
• Use product filters to focus on specific inventory segments or product categories.
• Archive historical data to a warehouse or BI tool so you can analyze trends over time without repeatedly querying the Stord API.

That's it! You're ready to automate your Stord operations with Parabola.
