Introduction:
Product alerts in Magento 2 are a valuable tool for keeping customers informed about changes in product availability and pricing. While these alerts are typically triggered automatically, there are situations where you might need to trigger them manually, such as when updating inventory or running a promotion. In this guide, we’ll show you how to manually trigger product alerts in Magento 2.
Step 1: Accessing the Product Alerts Section
- Log in to your Magento 2 admin panel.
- Navigate to Stores > Configuration > Catalog > Catalog.
- Under the Product Alerts section, you’ll find settings related to product alerts. Ensure that the General tab is selected.
Step 2: Enabling Product Alerts
- In the Product Alerts section, ensure that the Allow Alert When Product Price Changes and Allow Alert When Product Comes Back in Stock options are set to Yes. This enables product alerts for your store.
Step 3: Triggering Product Alerts
- Go to Catalog > Products in your admin panel.
- Select the product for which you want to trigger an alert.
- Scroll down to the Product Details section and expand the Alerts tab.
- Here, you’ll see options to trigger alerts for Price and Stock. You can manually set the new price or quantity and click the Save Product button to trigger the alert.
Step 4: Alerting Customers
- Once you’ve saved the product with the new price or quantity, Magento 2 will automatically send alerts to customers who have subscribed to alerts for that product.
- Customers will receive an email notification informing them of the change in price or availability.
Conclusion:
Manually triggering product alerts in Magento 2 is a straightforward process that can help you keep your customers informed and engaged. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can ensure that your customers are always up-to-date with the latest changes in your product catalog.
