For wish lists to function properly, enable wish list email types in the administration interface. By default, these types are disabled. To enable wish list emails, see the Configure Email Settings chapter.
Note: Upon initial setup, emails sent by wish lists are text only. However, you can download any of the wish list email templates, update them, use HTML, and then re-upload them to fit with your business environment and strategies. For more information, see Customize Email Templates in Extending Oracle Commerce Cloud Service.
For shoppers to receive email notifications, they can do one of the following:
Click the I want to get email updates check box when creating an account.
Click My Account > My Details, click Edit and select the I Want to Get Email checkbox. Click Save. My Wish List Setting is displayed. Under Email Notification Settings, click Yes for those emails they want to receive.
Note: At any time, shoppers can edit the email notification settings in My Account.
The following email types are available with wish lists:
Email Type | Description |
|---|---|
Wish List New Comment | Sent to all other members of a wish list when a member adds a comment to a product post. An email is not sent to the commenter. |
Wish List New Member | Sent to all current members of a wish list to introduce a new member; this email is not sent to the new member. |
Wish List New Post | Sent to all other members of a wish list when a new product post is added to the wish list or a product is moved to an established or new wish list. If the product is already in the destination wish list, no email is sent. A product post is added when a shopper clicks the Add to Wish List button or selector on a product details page. An email is not sent to the poster. |
