Automatic Notification when products are back in stock

Hi,

I know that currently "Notify when product is back in stock" works by manually sending emails to the ones that subscribed.
This would be the module(Ceon Back In Stock Notifications).

I don't have the time to check every time I update stocks that some have subscriptions and send emails to them.

What I would like would be that when I change the stock from 0 or < 0 to a positive number and I press Update from Admin, the notification list would be checked for that product and emails would be automatically sent to them.

We are currently using v1.5.1 and haven't installed the mentioned module because it does not have that functionality.
Please let me know if this can be done.

Regards,
Alex

Anything can be done, it's open source.

You should post this in the plugin forum, as this is not core code.

Maybe someone else has already done it...but normally you would use a daily cron job to do this automatically.

It takes literally 10 seconds to send the emails: click to the page, click the send all emails in the drop down, click the go button, done. So until you get a cron written I would recommend still using it, we do and it's extremely valuable for sales and my staff just takes the 10 seconds after updating inventory.

How do you update your product quantity? It's always possible to add a notifier or two (if one is not present) in the product update process to first capture the quantity when entering the edit process and then when exiting/updating and if goes from your desired quantity "range" to your target, to then initiate the other process to send the message. Alternatively could listen to page load related information for the same type thing, but seems would be a little more involved.

lankeeyankee -> I will try that plugin to see how it goes maybe it will be as easy as you say
mc12345678 -> I'm updating stock quantity manually as about 30-40 products per week return to stock

Well, looking into it a little, could create an init_ related file to load in admin/includes/init_includes that would if the current/leaving page is the collect_info or preview page then capture the current stock value. If the next loaded page is not the preview or update page then drop the value, if the update page has been loaded and the OK (next loaded page) is selected, then call on your notification process. Otherwise, clear the value and ignore the checks. :P

Okay, truly generic in nature, but is a concept that could work for manually updated process.
