Sender
| Field | Scope | Default |
|---|---|---|
byte8_stock_radar/email/sender | Store | sales |
Picks one of Magento's standard sender identities (configured at Stores → Configuration → General → Store Email Addresses). The default sales is fine for most stores; switch to support if you'd rather replies route to support.
Template
| Field | Scope | Default |
|---|---|---|
byte8_stock_radar/email/template | Store | byte8_stock_radar_email_template |
The default template ships with the module — minimal HTML with {{template config_path="design/email/header_template"}} so it inherits your store's existing email header / footer / branding.
Variables exposed
{{var product_name}} — the product's display name
{{var product_sku}} — SKU (variant SKU for configurables)
{{var product_url}} — full storefront URL
{{var store_name}} — the storefront name
{{var unsubscribe_url}} — signed unsubscribe link
{{var product}} — the full Product object (for advanced templates)
Customising
The cleanest path is to clone the template in admin rather than editing the file:
- Marketing → Communications → Email Templates → Add New Template.
- Load Default Template: pick "Stock Radar — back in stock".
- Edit the HTML to taste.
- Save and select your new template in Stores → Configuration → Byte8 → Stock Radar → Email → Template.
This way upgrades don't clobber your customisation.
Switching to the Plenty-enriched template
If you've installed the Plenty bridge, it registers an additional template called byte8_stock_radar_email_template_with_inbound. Pick it in the dropdown to render a "Live warehouse data" callout with physical, net, and inbound (PO) quantities pulled from plenty_stock_entity.
The enriched template falls back gracefully when Plenty data isn't available — a product not tracked in Plenty silently omits the callout.
Admin alerts on high-demand SKUs
| Field | Scope | Default |
|---|---|---|
byte8_stock_radar/admin_alert/threshold | Website | 50 |
When pending subscriber count for any single product first crosses this number, Stock Radar posts a message into the Magento admin notification inbox (bell icon top-right). Merchandisers see "Stock Radar: 50 customers waiting for SKU-12345" without having to open the demand heatmap.
The alert fires once per crossing — subsequent subscribers above the threshold don't re-trigger. Set to 0 to disable. Full details in admin alerts.
