Back in stock alert 2/2

Notifying customers when a product is back in stock is a great opportunity to recover eCommerce sales. When a product becomes available again, you can reactivate contacts who have subscribed to back-in-stock alerts for that product. 

In this article, you'll learn how to create a back in stock alert (part two).

Objective: Conversion.
Difficulty: Advanced.
When to use it: If you want to notify contacts when replenishing an out-of-stock product.

  

This strategy is part of our pool of templates. To implement it in your account, log in to your Connectif account and go to "Workflows Create new workflow". In the Create from template section, enter the name of the workflow in the search engine (Available stock alert 2/2), click on  Select and  Create.

How it works

After segmenting the products in the Back in stock alert 1/2 workflow, we set up an email that is sent as soon as we identify that the product is back in stock. Once the email has been sent, we check if the contact is still subscribed to a product and, if not, remove them from the segment.
