The Notify Me! app supports both automatic and manual notification options. While the app can automatically notify customers when a product is restocked, you can also choose to send notifications manually for more control.
When Might Manual Sending Be Useful?
Strategic Release: If you're restocking a popular product and want to create a sense of event or timed release, you can manually send out notifications at the exact moment you decide.
Selective Notifications: Perhaps you want to prioritize notifying certain segments of your customers first, like those from a specific location or loyalty tier. Manual selection lets you do this.
Personal Review: Before an automated system sends out notifications, you might want to review and ensure everything is in order, especially for high-profile products or launches.
