Summary
Merchant Caitlin Derer wanted to temporarily disable automatic back-in-stock notifications for her products, intending to manually trigger them at a later date. Agent Nilou walked her through disabling all notification channels in the Back in Stock settings, confirmed that subscriber data would be retained, and clarified that re-enabling channels later would send notifications to waiting customers if items are in stock. The issue was resolved, though internally the team flagged some uncertainty about notification behaviour after a delayed re-enable, which was subsequently verified by Harry.
"i do want to notify customers at a later date, so it will save all of the contacts until i am ready?"

**[2026-05-19 16:39:08] user/Caitlin Derer**
> are you able to transfer me, or im happy to chat with you instead
**[2026-05-19 16:40:24] admin/Nilou**
> No worries at all! We can continue right here if you prefer So to disable the automatic notifications, on your Notify me panel please go to Back in Stock -> Settings -> Click edit next to first back in stock notifications -> Disable all notifications channels (Email, SMS, etc) and save
**[2026-05-19 16:41:10] user/Caitlin Derer**
> so i just unclick everything?
**[2026-05-19 16:41:41] admin/Nilou**
> But please note unfortunately at the moment this action would apply to all notifications So there's not a way to filter out notif sends for particular products with requests only
**[2026-05-19 16:42:03] admin/Nilou**
> Yes! That would disable automatic send of notifications
**[2026-05-19 16:42:32] user/Caitlin Derer**
> ok, and below it still says: Delivery policy
> Instant delivery Immediately notify all relevant subscribers as soon as a product is restocked.
**[2026-05-19 16:43:19] user/Caitlin Derer**
> its ok that this option is selected?
**[2026-05-19 16:43:37] admin/Nilou**
> Let me check the panel please

**[2026-05-19 16:44:11] admin/Dela [note]**
> Thanks for taking care of it Nilou
**[2026-05-19 16:44:17] admin/Nilou**
> I see what you're referring to It's ok as long as the channels are disabled👍
**[2026-05-19 16:44:52] user/Caitlin Derer**
> ok. i do want to notify customers at a later date, so it will save all of the contacts until i am ready?
**[2026-05-19 16:45:11] admin/Nilou**
> Yes!👍
**[2026-05-19 16:45:45] admin/Nilou**
> Right now, the difference that you would see is that even if the products that were previously requested are now back in stock, the customers won't receive a notification
**[2026-05-19 16:46:30] user/Caitlin Derer**
> ok great. when i am ready to notify the customers what should i do?
**[2026-05-19 16:47:16] admin/Nilou**
> You could merely refer to the same section again and enable the channels that you'd like ^-^
**[2026-05-19 16:48:00] admin/Nilou**
> Is there anything else you'd like me to check for you?
**[2026-05-19 16:48:12] user/Caitlin Derer**
> ok, so if i click 'email' and save, they will all suddenly be emailed?
**[2026-05-19 16:49:00] admin/Nilou**
> If the items are in stock at the time of this action, yes. Their customers would be notified
**[2026-05-19 16:49:08] user/Caitlin Derer**
> perfect, thank you
**[2026-05-19 16:49:35] admin/Nilou [note]**
> guys question Dela Sam Harry When you disable automatic notification and restock items when all channels are disabled, if you enable the channels again later on, what happens?
**[2026-05-19 16:49:55] admin/Nilou**
> My absolute pleasure! happy to help ^-^ All set for now?
**[2026-05-19 16:50:26] admin/Nilou**
> If so, I was wondering if I could make things a bit easier for you today, can you consider writing a quick review?
>
> You can write it here: Notify me! | Review Link And if you happen to mention my name it will be the cherry on top and truly make my day! 🍒😍
**[2026-05-19 16:51:05] user/Caitlin Derer**
> sure, thanks
**[2026-05-19 16:51:19] admin/Harry [note]**
> If the restock is passed, I believe notifications should not be triggered anymore, however I'll double check it
**[2026-05-19 16:51:33] admin/Nilou**
> Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kindness🥹🙏 If it is not too much trouble, can you let me know when it’s submitted so I can keep an eye out for it? Shopify takes a few days to publish reviews, and I don’t want to miss it. 😅🙈
**[2026-05-19 16:53:16] user/Caitlin Derer**
> i submitted a review already
**[2026-05-19 16:53:39] admin/Dela [note]**
> I'm with Harry on this. I guess it'll need another webhook to get triggered
**[2026-05-19 16:53:45] admin/Nilou [note]**
> Oh I see I think what we should check is whether the status will change to notified or not This is what copilot told me

**[2026-05-19 16:54:28] admin/Nilou**
> Oh I see, that's great ^-^ Thank you for taking the time If you're all set, I'll close this chat for now But any reply will reopen it and we can pick up right where we left off So don't hesitate to reach out😉 Have a great one!✨ Take care,
