Product Notifications

[diy]

I first will start with something peculiar (my dear Watson), I mean something strange!! in my database I see some product notifications but I dont have a notifications box or a check box for notifications when you order a product !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Some of the customers have purchased the product they are notified about but I have put alot of test orders and I dont see any notifications for my account. How did they manage to put in a notification????

 

In another site I use for testing I have a notification after the order but I change price and stock and I dont receive an email!!!

 

How do product notifications work??

 

PS and what is Global Product Notifications.????

I tested now the whole thing and my guess is that notifications are not automatic, as many people including me think.

 

You have to issue a "newsletter" with product notifications and if somebody has requested to be notified he will get the email!!!

 

 

Example suppose you have run out of product A when you have it stock you have to make a product notification letter saying

 

"We proudly announce we have A in stock"

you then issue the letter the programs says x number of customers will receive the email

you send it and that is how you notify the customers for product A (if they chose to be notified)

 

 

Am I right?????
