I was scratching my head wondering where this notification is seen and how long it’s been a thing. Then I went to Zazzle main and saw the bell icon for Notifications which said I had two. One was dated May 31 and said “Col’s Creations made 15 sales” and the other was dated ‘3 days ago’ (which would have been June 3 or 4) and said “Col’s Creations made 6 sales”. Clicking on either just took me to my all-products in back end. I’m pretty certain this feature wasn’t here yesterday or even this morning while I was working on a new design. So it must be a pretty new feature but wondering if anyone has figured out a rhyme or reason yet to the " …had made x sales" notice. Like, for what time period is the notice referring to and how often does it send a notice? Every time you have a new sale since your last log-in or some random number of days?
Also - what other Notifications might there be? When someone adds one of your things to their cart? When someone plays with one of your designs and it’s therefore added automatically to their Saved Designs? When someone Follows you? When you get a cancellation? When someone uses a share button from one of your product pages to promote your thing? Etc etc..
Wondering what kinds of Notifications to expect and what kinds of Notifications our own activity might generate for others.
I saw it yesterday also. It said I had 2notifications. Both were dated May 31st for likes. I did not notice as to whether the bell stayed there after I clicked on both notifications.
This morning 6/7, the bell was gone. Possibly it shows up only when there are notifications to alert you.
And I also checked my settings just now to investigate—
Account settings>notification preferences
which has several you can check or uncheck—-
BUT then it says you will receive an EMAIL notification
Either weekly for some or immediately.
6/7, About the line break issue, I added 2 products to one of my collections a few minutes ago, verified they were added, refreshed the page several times, no notification, and no line break message.
I am on a Mac, Firefox.
Gosh, I didn’t realize it was a new feature, I just thought I hadn’t noticed it before - I do tend to get tunnel vision when I’m working and only notice things that are immediately relevant to what I’m doing. Anyhow, I scrolled through mine and from what I can tell there are 3 different kinds of notifications. One when someone likes a product, one when they add one of your products to a collection, and one when they follow your store. There may be more than that, but those are the only ones I’m seeing.
Nope. No notification. I get regular sales every day and there are no notifications for any of them, so I don’t think that putting something in the cart or purchasing a product generates a notification - at least not in this feed.
BTW, the chat notification seems to have changed too. Instead of just a red dot, this morning I got a “2” indicating that there were two messages waiting for me. That’s a helpful feature because it’s easy to miss the messages that aren’t at the top of the list if you’re not careful.
It doesn’t seem to be on all pages. Not on my account page or here on the forum page, but I see it on the product and collection pages as well as my home page.
Just found we get notifications for reviews on our products too. Those happen so infrequently, at least for me, that it took a while for this one to show up..lol.
