General info
We’re enhancing our "Notify Me" email funnel to support two parallel tracks—Exact-SKU restock and Similar-item suggestions—across three languages (EN, DE, FR). Existing Exact-SKU triggers remain in place; we’ll add a new Similar-item track with a cap of three suggestions per signup. Both tracks have fallback emails (14-day for SKU, 75-day for Similar-item). Leads can unsubscribe via Mailchimp footer, which should remove them from all Notify Me communications for that product.
Changes
-
Retain existing Exact-SKU restock and 14-day fallback functionality
-
Add Similar-item suggestion track for brand+model+price+color matches within 75 days
-
Limit Similar-item suggestions to a maximum of three per signup
-
Introduce 75-day fallback email for Similar-item track
-
Honor Mailchimp unsubscribes by removing leads from both tracks
-
Support EN, DE, FR versions of the two new emails
User story
As a customer signed up for "Notify Me" on a sold-out product,
When triggers fire for Exact-SKU or Similar-item restocks,
Then I receive timely, language-appropriate emails (EN/DE/FR) up to the defined caps and fallbacks,
And if I unsubscribe, I stop receiving all Notify Me emails for that product.
