Analyze WooCommerce category sales over time with Airtable and Slack

WooCommerce Product Category Sales Performance Report

This workflow automatically analyzes sales data by product category, compares performance across time periods (daily, weekly or monthly), stores structured results in Airtable and sends a clear summary to Slack for quick decision-making.

This workflow pulls order data for two time periods (current and previous), groups sales by product category and calculates key metrics like revenue, units sold and share of total sales. Each category is then classified (Top Performer, Steady, Needs Attention, etc.) with a recommended action.

The results are saved to Airtable for tracking & history and a short, easy-to-read summary is sent to Slack so stakeholders can understand performance at a glance.

You get:

Automated sales comparison (daily / weekly / monthly) Category-wise performance classification Historical tracking in Airtable One clean Slack summary — no dashboards required Ideal for product, sales and operations teams who want fast, consistent insights without manual reporting.
