Guide for ShopAlert: Admin Notifications for Shopify

ShopAlert: Admin Notifications is a Shopify app that automatically sends email notifications when various events happen in your store, allowing you to take timely action. You can specify different email addresses for each alert, so notifications can be sent to the relevant staff members as well as the store admin.

 

After installing ShopAlert: Admin Notifications, you'll land to the Home page. Here, you can find a description of How app works, the Email support form, and the Changelog to track the latest updates of the app. Additionally, the Home page features a Dashboard displaying key metrics of application usage, including the number of notifications sent per day, per week, and per month. Below, you can also find other apps developed by Amasty.

On the Alerts page, you can create and view existing notification rules. 

To set up a new rule, click the Create button, which will take you to the Create Alert page.

Alert name - the name that will appear in the notification, helping you easily understand what the alert is about.

Email address - the email address the notification will be sent to. You can now add multiple email addresses, separated by comma or Enter, to ensure all relevant administrators or employees receive the alerts.


Note

After saving the alert, a confirmation email will be sent to the specified address. You’ll need to verify the email to start receiving notifications. If you don’t see the email, please check your Spam folder. If the email address is already verified, no further action is needed.
