Title
How to set up low-stock notifications for attribute combinations
Summary
Configure a per-attribute combination reorder threshold so the store owner receives a low-stock email when that combination's quantity falls below the threshold.
Problem
Products using attribute combination stock control previously did not trigger the existing low-stock notification. Administrators had to monitor attribute combination stock manually.
Environment
Admin area: product editing page > Attribute Combinations section, and admin Message Templates.
Configuration
Products using attribute combination stock control can now trigger a per-combination low-stock email when stock falls below a configured threshold. This guide explains how to enable the notification template and set thresholds per combination.
Step 1: Enable the attribute combination low-stock notification template
In admin, go to Configuration > Settings > Email Message Templates, find the template named "Quantity Below - store owner (Attribute Combination)" (system name ProductManagement.StoreOwner.ProductAttributeCombinationQuantityBelow), tick Is active, and save. You can also reach this template directly via the Configure Message Template button on the attribute combination edit page in any product.
Step 2: Set a low-stock threshold on each combination
Open the product in admin, go to the product variant, and open the Attributes > Attribute combinations tab. Edit (or add) a combination and set a value in the "Notify admin for quantity below" field. A "Configure Message Template" button next to the field opens the template from step 1 directly. When a customer order brings that combination's stock below the threshold, the store owner receives the low-stock email. Existing combinations default to a threshold of 1.
Step 3: Disable notifications for specific combinations (if needed)
To disable the low-stock notification for a specific combination, open that combination and set its "Notify admin for quantity below" threshold to 0, then save. This allows you to monitor only the combinations that matter while suppressing alerts for others. Use the same field shown in step 2 -- there is no separate on/off control, just the numeric threshold.
Step 4: Verify the notification fires correctly
Place a test order that brings a monitored attribute combination below its threshold and confirm the store owner receives the low-stock notification email. Confirm the email is not sent for combinations with a threshold of 0. This is an end-to-end order/email check, not a configuration screen, so there is no screenshot for this step.
