How to get a 'notify me when back in stock' alert for any Shopify store

The frustration of the 'sold out' button

We've all been there. You find the perfect item on a Shopify store, but the 'Add to Cart' button has been replaced by two dreaded words: 'Sold Out'. Some stores offer a 'notify me when back in stock' button, but they're unreliable. Emails can be delayed, sent to spam, or the feature might not even exist on smaller stores. By the time you get the notification, the item could be sold out again.

There is a better way. You can create your own personal, instant back-in-stock monitor for any Shopify store, and it's easier than you think.

Set up a Shopify 'back in stock' alert with monity.ai

Using monity.ai, you can monitor any product page and get an instant notification the moment it comes back in stock. The best part? You can get started for free. Here's how to do it.

Step 1: Add the Shopify product URL

First, find the product you want to track. Copy the full URL from your browser's address bar. Then, sign in to your monity.ai dashboard and click 'Add New Task'. Paste the URL into the field to get started.

Step 2: Use an AI prompt for smart notifications

This is where the magic happens. Instead of just getting an alert for any minor change, you can tell our AI exactly what to look for. In the prompt field, type a simple instruction. For a restock alert, a great prompt is:

"Notify me when the text 'Sold Out' is no longer on the page."

You could also try:

"Alert me when the 'Add to Cart' button appears."

Our AI will understand your intent and only send a notification - complete with a helpful summary - when that specific condition is met.

Step 3: Choose your notification channel

Receive your alerts wherever you are. You can get instant notifications via email, Slack, Discord, or a custom webhook. The moment monity.ai detects the product is back in stock based on your prompt, you'll be the first to know.

Beyond restocks: What else can you track on Shopify?
