Alerts

With AMALYTIX, you stay on top of all important changes to your Amazon products. Alerts notify you automatically when something relevant changes - for example, content adjustments or availability changes.

On the Settings / Alerts page, you define who receives which alerts and through which channel the notification should be sent.

Why Alerts Matter

Without automatic notifications, you would need to manually check all your products for changes every day. Alerts save time and ensure you can react quickly to important events:

• Content changes - Get notified immediately when someone modifies your product title, bullet points, or descriptions
• Availability - Be informed when products become unavailable
• New sellers - Detect potential hijackers on your listings

Examples of Alert Rules

You can configure alerts very granularly:

• John Doe receives all content change alerts for the German marketplace via Slack
• Tim Smith receives all review alerts for the Adidas brand via email
• Judy Miller, Jack Rose, and Sam Parker receive availability alerts for all products with the “focus products” tag via email
• Company Jackson receives all new seller alerts via Slack to the “#hijacker” channel

We have described how to create alerts in this video:

Create a New Alert Rule

You create a new rule in three steps:

1. Select name and channel
2. Select alerts
3. Select product groups or products

1. Select Name and Channel

In the first step, assign a name to the rule. Choose a descriptive name so you can quickly identify what alerts this rule covers later.

In the Status field, you specify whether the rule becomes active immediately or remains paused for now. Paused rules can be activated at any time later.

Then, in the Channel field, select how you want to receive the alert:

Email

For email as the channel, you can specify one or more recipients (separated by commas) and optionally set a custom subject line.

Slack

For Slack, you need to provide the webhook URL and the channel that should receive the messages.

Further instructions for setting up Slack webhooks can be found in the Slack documentation.

Microsoft Teams

You can also deliver alerts to a Microsoft Teams channel.

We have created a tutorial showing how to create a webhook URL for a channel in Teams.

After adding the webhook URL, you must send a test message before you can save the rule. Click Test MS Teams Webhook - a message with the text “AMALYTIX Test Message” should then appear in the corresponding Teams channel.

More information about webhooks can also be found on the Microsoft help pages.

2. Select Alerts

On the second page, mark all alert types that you want to activate with this rule.

You can select any number of alert types per rule. For different recipients or channels, simply create multiple rules.

3. Select Products

In the last step, you narrow down which products the rule should apply to.

The following filter options are available (can be combined):

Examples of combinations:

• All products on the German marketplace of the “Nike” brand with the “Summer2024” tag
• All products on the German marketplace offered through the Seller account

When you have configured everything, save the new alert rule.

Manage Existing Rules

On the overview page, you see all existing alert rules in a table with the following information:

• Status - Active or Paused
• Name - Name of the rule
• List - Which product list is affected (All, Seller Products, Vendor Products, Watchlist)
• Markets - Which marketplaces are affected
• Tags - Which tags are used for filtering
• Channel - How notifications are sent (App, Email, Slack, MS Teams)
• Recipient - Who receives the alerts
• Number of Alerts - How many alert types are activated in this rule

Edit Rule

Click the edit icon under Options to modify an existing rule. You can change the name, channel, recipients, alert types, and product filters at any time.

Pause Rule

To temporarily deactivate a rule, open it for editing and change the status to Paused. Paused rules do not send notifications but can be reactivated at any time.

Delete Rule

To permanently remove a rule, click the trash icon under Options.
