How to create notifications

Updated over a week ago

Notifications in Price Intelligence allow you to automatically monitor pricing shifts, availability changes, and match updates across your catalog.

What notifications can you choose from?

You can choose from the following notification types to stay updated:

  • Top Price Changes: Get email notifications highlighting competitor price changes. ​Note: Set the Same Price Threshold in System Settings to define what qualifies as a price change.

  • MAP Violations: Be notified of MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) violations and related statistics. Note: MAP prices need to be provided by you to our Price Intelligence system.

  • Scheduled Reports: Receive an email notification when your scheduled reports are generated and ready for download. Note: This is for reports created and scheduled using the Report Builder user interface.
