Message user if items from whishlist are available

Bricks-Shop

Hey,
maybe the function is already here and I am not able to find it.

Anyhow, the idea is to send a message to the users if parts from their wishlist is now available. I guess this is a benefit for the users to get a message instead of visiting the page from time to time to check again if they are available.
On the other site there's a function that I (as a seller) can start the message system and inform the users about new items when I've updated my inventory.
From my experience this is there a good thing. I have updated two days ago my inventory and added around 40k parts. I have received from Brick Owl 2 orders which contains from these new parts and I have received 24 orders from the other site.

According my experience the users buy items when they get the information. Sometimes they wait maybe a long time until a part is available and than they directly catch it.

What do you think and what's your expierence?

Regards,
Oliver

There is an option in each wishlist for the user to get a notification about matches, it's the last option, is this what you're looking for?

As @Mrs Swoop has pointed out this is an automatic email that does exactly what you want it to do. I used to have mine enabled, then decided to disable them as, for me being on Brick Owl pretty much every day I can easily click on my wishlists and see what's where. For a more occasional customer it might be handy to know when somethings's been added. Generally I now just get a standard mail, not necessarily daily, to say that wishlist items have been added, but not specifying which ones.

Yes this is the function I was thinking about. I typically use the whishlist only temporarly when I search for the moment for a few items. I create the wishlist and try to buy the items.
It's good than it works like this - anyhow it seems that the users at Bricklink use this message more than here at Brick Owl. It's always the same situation. I upload items to my inventory (Bricklink and Brick Owl), send that message at Bricklink and I receive a lot of orders from Bricklink and only a few from Brick Owl. After around 4 weeks after updating, the amount of orders from Brick Owl is growing and become more than Bricklink. I have recorded this for me now since the last 7 updates. That's curious.
