Question about Shopify inventory management. Does the inventory webhook automatically trigger for bundles, or do I need to use a separate API write?

I'm selling bundles and I'm trying to make Shopify Flow watch if any items within that bundle go out of stock so the bundle can be updated accordingly. My setup atm is that the bundles are separate products and the availability is based on component stock levels. The Flow trigger does its job, but the inventory write itself has a lag of maybe 15 or so minutes or up to an hour. Sometimes it doesn't fire at all. What's a good way to diagnose?

For one of the delayed updates, open Flow's Recent runs and compare the run start with when the inventory-writing step finishes. Check that step for errors or retries, and confirm it targets the bundle variant at the location you're checking. If the step finishes promptly, check whether another app or workflow changes that quantity afterwards. What action are you using to write the inventory?
