Acting on the data

Back in stock emails

Let shoppers ask to be told when an out-of-stock item returns, and Miko AI emails them the moment it is back.

When a shopper picks a variant that is out of stock, the Back in stock block on your product page lets them ask to be told when it returns. Miko AI checks availability every few minutes and emails them once it is available again. Miko AI sends the emails itself, so there is no email app to connect.

Where to find it

  • In the app, open Back in stock in the app menu. It shows whether the flow is on and the last 30 days of activity.
  • On your storefront, the Back in stock theme block, added in Online Store → Themes → Customize.

How to set it up

  1. Add the block to your product page

    In Online Store → Themes → Customize, open your product page template and add the Back in stock app block right after your Add to cart button. Click Save.

  2. Adjust the wording (optional)

    In the block’s settings you can change the Out-of-stock label, Button text, Email field placeholder (logged-out shoppers), Success message, Invalid email message and Error message, or keep the defaults.

  3. Turn the flow on

    In Miko AI, open Back in stock and click Turn on. The status changes to On, watching for restocked items.

Options

What shoppers see

  • The block only shows when the selected variant is out of stock.
  • Signed-in customers see a single button (by default “Notify me when back in stock”).
  • Guests also get an email field.
  • A shopper who asked about several products that come back together gets one email listing all of them, not one per item.
