"The bot reports a stockout without proposing the influencer's alternative." "The AI invents a restocking date after the collab." "Chatbot ignores the return alert for the variant worn in the story." Three failures where a poorly calibrated influencer stockout bot applies a generic OOS macro.
An e-commerce post-influencer stockout AI chatbot does not replace INFLUOOS agents (#947). It reads INFLUOOS-MAP, verifies Shopify stock, cites alternative_creator_sku waitlist_url restock_date and handoff post live ops to humans.
This guide #948 covers intents bot_influoos_*, flow INFLUOOSBOT and KPI influoos_bot. Bot pair of the INFLUOOS playbook (#947). Usecase: propose alternative pre-order alert after creator peak.
Summary
Why botify the post-influencer breakup?
"Sold out post-story by @marie" peaks at 24-72 hours post-publication. A calibrated bot looks up INFLUOOS-MAP by creator_handle, verifies the featured variant, suggests an alternative, and offers a waitlist without inventing any restock dates.
What the bot resolves (Tier 1)
OOS creator variant: variant_shown + alternative_creator_sku
SKU completely sold out: waitlist_url + alternative map
Restock date: restock_date map grounded only
Back in stock alert: waitlist signup flow Klaviyo link
Pre-order: preorder_policy map cite if authorized
Omnisend points out that 66% of customers buy from a competitor if a product is unavailable without a clear alternative (Omnisend, back-in-stock 2026). The bot intercepts bot_influoos_alternative before the generic OOS macro #106.
INFLUOOSBOT #948 vs INFLUOOS #947, OOS bot, AMBbot #576 and SHORTVIDbot #944
Seven influencer stock bot contents, seven distinct roles.
Quick Matrix
#948 INFLUOOSBOT: tier 1 bot alternative alert pre-order post-creator
INFLUOOS #947: waitlist ops post live execute agents
AMBbot #576: ambassador code distinct sold out product
SHORTVIDbot #944: find video product distinct post-click out of stock
INFLU #223: upstream preparation D-7 distinct post-spike tickets
MISMATCH #949: creator promise ≠ future site
Pipeline: alternative bot waitlist preorder quote → #947 ops post live handoff execute.
Which bot_influoos_* intents should be configured?
Eight bot out of stock influencer intents mapped typologies #947.
Eight bot_influoos intents
bot_influoos_collab_detect: detect creator_handle SKU story reel
bot_influoos_stock_verify: Shopify API variant sku_creator_map
bot_influoos_variant_oos: variant_shown out of stock + alternative
bot_influoos_alternative: alternative_creator_sku alt_explain map
bot_influoos_waitlist: waitlist_url signup flow
bot_influoos_restock_info: restock_date map grounded
bot_influoos_preorder_info: preorder_policy preorder_url map
bot_influoos_handoff: post_still_live ops → #947
Tier 1 auto: collab_detect, stock_verify, variant_oos, alternative, waitlist, restock_info if INFLUOOS-MAP + guardrails.
bot_influoos_handoff, post live ops, promise mismatch → agents #947 payload influoos_collab_id.
How do I consume INFLUOOS-MAP #947?
The bot reads INFLUOOS-MAP #947: influoos_collab_id, creator_handle, sku_creator_map, variant_shown, alternative_creator_sku, alt_explain, restock_date, waitlist_url, preorder_policy, preorder_url, post_live_url, agent_handoff_url.
Lookup grounded
Creator lookup: @handle → INFLUOOS-MAP row
Shopify Inventory API: live variant stock verify
ALTERNATIVE-GATE: alternative_creator_sku map only
NO-RESTOCK-GUESS-BOT: restock_date map only
VARIANT-GROUNDED-BOT: variant_shown always cites
PDP OOS post-referral social widget: bot_influoos_collab_detect badge if creator traffic.
INFLUOOSBOT-SUP policy in six rules
Six bot rules for influencer out-of-stock.
COLLAB-REGISTRY-GATE : lookup INFLUOOS-MAP before OOS response
ALTERNATIVE-GATE : alternative_creator_sku mandatory if OOS confirmed
NO-RESTOCK-GUESS-BOT : no restock date outside restock_date map
VARIANT-GROUNDED-BOT : variant_shown cited by creator
OOS-GENERAL-REROUTE-BOT : out of stock without creator → playbook #106
AMB-MISMATCH-REROUTE-BOT : code only → #576, promise ≠ site → #949
Flow INFLUOOSBOT IOB-1 to IOB-8
Eight-step flow: ingest detect verify classify answer reroute handoff log.
IOB-1 Ingest: message sold out influencer story variant
IOB-2 Collab detect: bot_influoos_collab_detect creator_handle
IOB-3 Registry lookup: COLLAB-REGISTRY-GATE INFLUOOS-MAP
IOB-4 Stock verify: Shopify API sku_creator_map
IOB-5 Tier 1 answer: variant_oos alternative waitlist restock preorder
IOB-6 Reroute: OOS #106 AMBbot #576 MISMATCH #949
IOB-7 Handoff: post_still_live ops → agent #947
IOB-8 Log: deflect alternative waitlist handoff KPI
Example TPL-INFLUOOS-ALT
“Variant {{creator_handle}} ({{variant_shown}}): out of stock. Alternative: {{alternative_creator_sku}}. Alert: {{waitlist_url}}.”
TPL-INFLUOOS and touchpoints templates
Four short creator out-of-stock embed widget templates.
TPL-INFLUOOS-ALT
[variant_shown map.] [alternative_creator_sku map.] [alt_explain.] ALTERNATIVE-GATE.
TPL-INFLUOOS-WAITLIST
[waitlist_url map.] Creator variant back-in-stock alert.
TPL-INFLUOOS-RESTOCK
[restock_date map.] [waitlist_url.] NO-RESTOCK-GUESS.
TPL-INFLUOOS-HANDOFF
[agent_handoff_url.] Request [post live / ops] forwarded. Collab [influoos_collab_id]. Delay [handoff_sla].
Touchpoints
PDP OOS referral social: collab_detect + alternative
"Seen at @creator sold out": variant_oos + waitlist
"When restock?": restock_info grounded
"Pre-order?": preorder_info policy map
Edge cases: no restock, other variant available, without creator, mismatch
Five non-tier 1 cases bot influencer OOS standard.
Limited collab no_restock : ALT only, no fictitious RESTOCK date
Other color/size available : variant_oos + other live Shopify variants
No creator mentioned : reroute general OOS #106 playbook
Creator promise ≠ product page : reroute mismatch #949
Ambassador code only : reroute AMBbot #576
Bot does not update creator post: handoff #947 influoos_ops_flag marketing.
Essential influoos_bot KPIs
Five INFLUOOSBOT steering metrics and correlation #947.
influoos_bot_deflect: creator disruption resolved without an influoos_ ticket
influoos_bot_alt_rate: % alternative_creator_sku sessions proposed
influoos_bot_waitlist_rate: % waitlist_url sessions provided
influoos_bot_restock_guess: invented dates target audit 0
influoos_bot_alt_conversion: alternative purchases post bot session
Target: restock_guess at zero and alt_rate above 92% post INFLUOOS-MAP D-7 sync.
INFLUOOSBOT anti-patterns
Five common mistakes in influencer stockout bot management.
Generic OOS macro: ALTERNATIVE-GATE creator mandatory
Invented restock date: NO-RESTOCK-GUESS map only
No alternative provided: alternative_creator_sku always if OOS
Forgetting featured variant: VARIANT-GROUNDED quote creator
Duplicating OOS #106: #948 pic creator collab registry only
