An AI agent crosses in Helium 10 how much you sell per week with your Amazon inventory and tells you on WhatsApp how many days it lasts.

How do I know when to send more units to Amazon without opening Helium 10?

You write the product's ASIN or name to your Met. The Met opens the listing in Helium 10 to confirm it is the right one, pulls how many units you sold per week, how many you have in inventory and FBA inventory health with its days of supply. With that it tells you how many days your stock will last and whether there is excess or stranded inventory. If you ask, it also pulls the product's profit for the period, so you can decide whether restocking is worth it. It does not create the shipment to Amazon or buy merchandise: it gives you the numbers to decide.

What starts it

When someone asks for it

It starts when the owner or whoever runs inventory asks the Met about a product on WhatsApp. Each query is on demand and uses calls from the Helium 10 quota.

A manual task: someone on the team runs it with a button, or asks the Met for it in chat.

Who runs it

Analysis Met for your Amazon store

This is not a named, seeded Met. It is an internal Met with Helium 10 connected: it is done when it tells you how many days a product's stock will last, or when it tells you which data Helium 10 did not return.

The procedure, step by step

Each step shows the tool that runs. They belong to the real connector: if one of them stopped existing, this page would not build.

1
Confirm the product

The Met opens the listing by its ASIN and reads the title, price and FBA status, to confirm it is talking about the right product before pulling numbers. Helium 10 needs the ASIN, not the SKU.
- get_listing_details Helium 10
2
See how much sells per week

The Met pulls the product's units sold grouped by week over the last few weeks, so it sees whether sales are steady, rising or falling before calculating.
- get_sales_velocity Helium 10
3
Check how much is in inventory

The Met pulls the product's units in stock, whether they go through FBA or FBM, which warehouse holds them and their age. With that and weekly sales it calculates how many days they last.
- get_inventory_values Helium 10
4
Check FBA inventory health

The Met checks days of supply, IPI and whether there is excess, stranded or aged inventory, to warn you if the problem is not restocking but freeing up units that do not sell.
- get_fba_inventory_health_status Helium 10
5
Pull the product's profit

If you ask, the Met pulls the product's profit and loss summary for the period, with revenue, costs and profit, so you can decide whether to restock or let it go.

Before you start

What you need ready

The Met solves none of these for you. If one is missing, the automation stops there.

Helium 10 on the Diamond plan or higher

According to Helium 10, the MCP comes with Diamond plans and above, with 1,000 calls a month. Your Amazon account has to be connected in Helium 10.
Helium 10 connected in Met

In Met, open Connections → Helium 10 → Connect and sign in with your account. This procedure only uses queries from the read allowlist.
The Met available on your WhatsApp

Whoever runs inventory writes to the internal Met on WhatsApp. Answers come from Helium 10 at the moment of the question.

The limits

What this automation does NOT solve

Better said here than discovered halfway through the rollout.

It does not create the shipment to Amazon or buy merchandise: it tells you how many days the stock lasts and the decision is yours.
It does not predict demand for a new season: it calculates with the last few weeks of sales, so a special date can change the math.
It does not give real-time data: Helium 10 refreshes data periodically, and a sale from a few minutes ago may not be there yet.
It does not ask for free without limit: each query uses calls from the plan's 1,000 a month, and this procedure uses between 4 and 5 per product.

FAQ

Questions about this automation

Not in this procedure: it answers when you ask. A scheduled check would use quota calls every time it runs, so it is worth deciding on it first.

Yes. According to Helium 10, the MCP covers Amazon Mexico among its marketplaces. If your account sells on another default marketplace, tell the Met which one.

This procedure makes between 4 and 5 queries per product, depending on whether you ask for profit. Helium 10 counts one call per query.
