Stock Notification Not Working

Therefore, the inventory for the individual products is updated from those files, not by manually editing the product and hitting submit. We also have the Stock Notification option set up for customers to submit their email address to be notified when a particular product becomes available. Well, it doesn't automatically send emails to those customers even though the product was updated via the .csv file as having stock. So, we have to manually check our Stock Notification list for the hundreds of customers that are on there waiting to be notified and if we find a product with inventory, we have to open it up and then click submit to get it to send the email. This is extremely time-consuming. Is there any fix for it? Thanks, Kelley Ecommerce PlusASP v7.4.1

When you've finished the CSV upload, go to the admin products page and under "Select Action..." on the left you should have a button, "Stock Notif. (x)" with the number of outstanding stock notifications. If you click on that button and click on "Send All Stock Notifications" then it will send and clear the notifications for items that have enough stock. Can you try that and see if it does what you need? Vince Click Here for Shopping Cart Software Click Here to sign up for our newsletter Click Here for the latest updater

I sure wouldn't want to do that. So, just to be clear, but clicking on the button at the bottom that reads "Send All Stock Notifications", it would just send emails to the ones that actually have stock available (showing a plus number in the In Stock field in adminprods.asp)? Please confirm. Thanks, Kelley Edited by - kelleymoore on 10/07/2021 12:42:24

Vince Administrator 42756 Posts	Posted - 10/08/2021 : 02:59:44 Hi Kelley I've changed the text to... Send Stock Notifications (Where stock available) ...which hopefully gets the point across a bit better.
