Content Triggers in Lifecycle Optimizer

The Content Changed entry in Lifecycle Optimizer initiates a flow when the content for an item reflects the conditions you set.

Note: You must have the Content Watch API enabled to use these triggers. If you're interested in this API, speak to Support.

Back in Stock

Use the Back in Stock subscription type to message users when an item is back in stock.
  1. From a new flow in Lifecycle Optimizer, set the Entry to Content Changed.
  2. Set your conditions in the Edit Entry panel.
  3. Set For users who have subscribed to... to Back in Stock.
  4. Set the Content change conditions. Your conditions can be as simple or as complex as you need them to be. For a Back in Stock trigger, use these settings:

      1. Field - New Availability
      2. Comparison - Equals
