## The prompt

```text
Check my published CartFlows funnels before I send traffic to them. For each checkout step, list the products it puts in the cart, with quantity and discount. Flag any product that is out of stock, has fewer than 10 in stock, is not published, or no longer exists. Also flag checkout steps with no products. Do not change anything. Give me a fix list grouped by funnel, worst problem first.
```

## What happens when you paste it

You: Check my published CartFlows funnels before I send traffic to them…

Assistant: I checked 9 checkout steps in 5 funnels. 2 load a product that is out of stock, 1 loads a product in draft, and 1 has 6 left. The Spring Bundle checkout has no products. Calling: `cartflows/list-flows`, `cartflows/get-flow`, `cartflows/get-checkout-products`, `woocommerce/products-query`.

Assistant: This will make changes in WooCommerce. Do you want me to go ahead?

Assistant: Fix first: restock or swap the Trail Socks 3-Pack in the Hiking Starter checkout, publish or replace the Camp Mug in the Gift Box checkout, and add products to Spring Bundle.
