ATUM Low Stock Notifications

mhurrell

Is there a way to have a low stock notification email sent to the customer based on product category and low stock levels? If not, this would be a great addition to the software!

Hi mhurrell

FYI, who sends the low-stock notifications is WooCommerce, not ATUM.
So this is a suggestion you should do to them 😉

Best Regards,

Not quite 🙂

Woocommerce sends low stock notifications to one email address for the entire store. The admin email address or another that's specified. But it doesn't do it by product category, or by product.

I'm referencing a notification that can be sent to the CUSTOMER/SUPPLIER on a per product or per product category basis.

For example: If a product or product category goes into the low stock threshold, it could send a notice to the CUSTOMER/SUPPLIER that their item is getting low on stock. That way the CUSTOMER / SUPPLIER could reorder the product.

My store keeps inventory for multiple customers, so it would be a nice feature to have to be able to assign an email to a product or category that would override the store email. It would also be nice to be able to edit the message that is sent to the low stock notifier on a per product or category basis.

Hi mhurrell ,

But that has nothing to do with ATUM, sorry.

However, it can be achieved with custom coding, so if you need it, I kindly suggest you find a developer to assist you whit this 😀 .

Could have sworn this is a "suggest a feature" forum area, is it not?

So this is me, suggesting a feature, and two different people telling me that it's not ATUM's problem and to hire a developer?

I don't know if you guys think these snarky responses are cute, but they aren't.

This is a feature I am needing, and I am kindly suggesting that maybe you change the name of this forum section to "don't bother me with feature suggestions. Pay money to hire your own developers" section, instead of "feature suggestion".

This is a feature everyone could benefit from, and it does have something to do with ATUM. This is an inventory management system, and if you could add features that would benefit your users, such as the ability to send custom messages from the inventory management system to different people so the correct individuals could make decisions on how to manage their inventory better, don't you think that to be beneficial for everyone?

Get it together guys. If you don't want to work, just say so.

Hi mhurrell ,

Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

"Suggest a feature" means that you're suggesting something, and we could or couldn't take it into account in the future if enough users ask for it.

Also, what you're asking for is totally out of the scope of ATUM.

These two reasons were why I kindly suggested you find a developer if you need that feature ASAP.

We had no intention of offending you.

Anyway, ATUM is an open-source project, and you're free to make a pull request at any time. Once received, we'll consider merging it with the base branch.
