Overview
Customer Self Service features 'Notify Me' functionality, whereby users can elect to receive an email when unavailable products return to stock.
The 'Notify Me' email option can be found from the shopping cart option
When a user clicks the 'Notify Me' button on an unavailable product, a popup window opens for the user to enter their email address.
In the shopping cart, if the 'Notify Me' button is clicked on an out-of-stock product, that product is automatically removed from the cart once the user's notification request has been saved.
A scheduled task runs behind the scenes at regular intervals, checking stock availability against notification requests. When a requested product becomes available, the email to the user is triggered.
This functionality is available from version 3.79 onward.
