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.
- 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
- 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.
