Notifications¶

Notifications is an application located in the Administration module.

Notifications are used to send you an e-mail with information about some new story or event on your online store, such as a new order, paid order or in the case of new user registers. This feature can keep you informed without having to sign into BizBox. The usage of notifications can save your time and boost your productivity.

It is really simple. At first, you have to create templates for e-mails you want to send in the Templates application. This is absolutely the same as any other e-mail template in BizBox (they are usually connected with your customers, such as Registration or Order Confirmation e-mails).

In the notification template you can use only the info about the order (in case you create a notification about an order) or about a user (in case you create a notification about users). Use the parameters for e-commerce templates. Then you will set up how the notifications will be sent. In case you don’t want to define special templates, you can use our base templates. They contain all necessary information.

For notifications about orders can be set conditions. Conditions define under which circumstances will be the notification sent:

Shop	It evaluates E-shop Settings used for the order creation.
Order State	It evaluates particular state of the order.
Order Type	It evaluates the type of the order.
Website	It evaluates the website on which the order has been created.
Country	It evaluates the order’s origin country.
Delivery Method	It evaluates delivery method used for the order.
Payment Method	It evaluates payment method used for the order.
Items	It evaluates if the order contains a particular item.
Total Items	It evaluates the number of items on the order.
Suppliers	It evaluates if the order contains a product connected with the selected supplier. The available list of suppliers contains all records defined in the supplier’s application. For the evaluation, the list of all suppliers connected to all products from the order is used.

The function of conditions defined here are the same for the conditions used in sales. There is only a shortlist of offered condition rules.

On the second tab you can define the rules for sending.
