Sales Automation #1069: Inventory Management with Shopify + Klaviyo + Linear

Problem

Reps lose time copying inventory management updates from Shopify into Klaviyo, which delays follow-ups and skews pipeline reporting.

This pattern connects the stack so sales data stays in sync without manual exports.

Workflow

Shopify stage change → map pipeline fields → upsert Klaviyo → log activity for inventory management.
