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.

Creating a new alert
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.
Once the email is verified, its status in the Alerts grid will change from "No" to "Yes". Notifications will then be sent to this email address based on the selected triggers.
Schedule - You can now schedule when your notifications are sent.
- Select the specific days of the week (e.g., Monday, Wednesday, Friday) when you want notifications to be sent.

This feature allows you to control the timing of your notifications, ensuring they arrive when they are most relevant.

Low stock alerts threshold - specify the minimum quantity of a product in stock that triggers a warning to replenish inventory.
