Hi shopify community,
im searching for an app to send a notification to the clients on a product back in stock, but this notification needs to be batch sent (not sent to all clients on the waitlist, just the first 10 on the line for example), for a better explanation i found the app swym which have this feature (https://swym.it/help/single-or-multiple-batches/)) the problem is, this batch feature can only be set globally and i need to set different batch number setting for every product variant, do you have some app recommendation with some of these features?, or some documentation to develop this kind of back in stock notification feature?.
Topic summary
A merchant is seeking a waitlist app that can send back-in-stock notifications in batches (e.g., alerting only the first 10 customers) with variant-level batch control.
Current Challenge:
- Found Swym app with batch notification feature, but it only allows global batch settings
- Needs different batch sizes configured per product variant
- Open to app recommendations or development documentation
Responses:
- Swym representative offered to discuss potential custom solutions directly
- Wait Wise app suggested their priority-based system as an alternative:
- Categorizes waitlist entries using custom rules (e.g., VIP customer tags)
- Sends automated notifications based on priority levels
- Can target specific customer segments (like top 10 high-priority customers)
Status: Discussion remains open; merchant exploring both customization with Swym and Wait Wise’s priority-based approach as potential solutions.
Hello! Thank you for sharing your requirement. I work with Swym (the app that you have quoted). If you could share with me your contact information, I can check with our team if this is something we can do for you and get back!
Hey @mariomijes .
You mentioned a great use case, and this is what we’re working on over (Wait Wise)(https://apps.shopify.com/wait-wise)). A waitlist app to help categorize waitlist entries based on rules can be set by you (for example, a customer with a VIP tag will have a high priority level). When the product is back in stock, we send an automated notification (customizable) based on their priority level. In your example, just send to the first 10 high-priority waiting customers
