The daily email: recipients, timing and unsubscribing

You add people in Settings, each person confirms by email, and the digest arrives shortly after your digest time on any day with something to report.

Add people

Growth allows 3 addresses and Pro allows 10.

1. In StockDigest, go to Settings and scroll to Daily email.
2. Enter the address in Add an email address and click Add.
3. Check the address in the “Send confirmation email?” dialog and click Send email. Cancel leaves the address in the field so you can fix it.
4. The person opens the email, titled like “Confirm your StockDigest emails for Juniper & Pine” with your store’s name, clicks Confirm emails, then Yes, send me the digest on the page that opens.

Each address shows its status: “Waiting for confirmation”, “Getting digests”, “Paused” or “Unsubscribed”.

• Resend sends the confirmation again, at most once every 10 minutes per address. If it hasn’t arrived, check the spam or junk folder.
• Remove takes the address off the list.
• A store can send up to 10 confirmation emails a day.
• Unsubscribed addresses don’t count toward your plan’s limit.
• If you have more confirmed addresses than your plan allows, for example after moving from Pro to Growth, the ones added first keep getting emails and the rest show “Paused”. Remove an address to make room, or move back to Pro, and paused addresses start getting emails again.

Someone who confirms after the day’s email has gone out starts with the next one.

When it’s sent

One digest is made per store per day, at the hour set in Send the daily digest at (7:00 AM unless you change it), in your store’s time zone. StockDigest refreshes the last 7 days of sales first, so the email arrives shortly after that hour. To change the time, pick an hour under Low-stock rules in Settings and click Save in the bar at the top of the page.

No email is sent on days with nothing to report: nothing flagged, nothing in the not-selling list and no location short. That day’s digest is still in Digest history.

Emails come from digest@stockdigest.madebyenki.com, on a domain authenticated with SPF, DKIM and DMARC.

What’s in it

The subject sums up the day, for example “Your stock today at Juniper & Pine: 2 out, 3 run out soon, 4 low”. When nothing needs restocking but some products aren’t selling, it ends “all good, 4 not selling”.

Inside, in this order:

• A bar showing how many products are out of stock, will run out before restock, or are low. If none are, it says “Stock levels are fine today.”
• A few lines written by AI from the day’s numbers, marked “Written by AI from today’s numbers.” See AI highlights.
• Needs action: products that are out of stock or will run out before restock. Those that will run out show how many to reorder.
• Running low: products marked Low.
• By location, on Pro for stores with 2 or more locations. See stock per location.
• Not selling for 60 days, or however many days your window covers. See the not-selling report.

Each section lists up to 10 products (5 for not selling), then “N more in StockDigest”. Products with stock in transit show it, such as “24 on the way”. See how stock on the way is counted.

Open today’s digest opens that day’s digest in Digest history, inside your Shopify admin, so the person needs to be able to log in to your store’s admin to use it. Older digests are covered in digest history.

Unsubscribing

Every email has an Unsubscribe link at the bottom. It opens a page with an Unsubscribe button. The unsubscribe option built into many mail apps works too.

Unsubscribing stops all StockDigest emails to that address for that store, including instant alerts. The address then shows “Unsubscribed” in Settings. To start again, the store adds the address again and the person confirms again.

Instant alerts on Pro

On Pro with instant alerts turned on, everyone on this list also gets instant alerts when a product needs attention during the day. For an overview of the email, see the low-stock report.
