Where to Find Business Manager Alerts?
Just head to Business Manager → Click the bell icon in the top right corner. By default, SFCC provides system alerts, but the real power lies in creating your own custom alerts.
How to Create Custom Business Manager Alerts
You don’t need magic—just a bit of code. Here’s what you need to do:
1️⃣ Create a custom cartridge and add it to the Business Manager Cartridge Path.
2️⃣ Define your custom alerts inside the package.json file within your cartridge.
3️⃣ Localize alert messages by adding a message ID in the templates/resources/alert.properties file.
4️⃣ Use the SFCC Alerts API to trigger alerts with the dw.alert.Alerts class.
💡 In practice, alerts can be generated by a scheduled job that runs every 60 minutes, checking conditions and triggering alerts when necessary.
Why Should You Set Up Custom Alerts?
🔹 Save time – No more manual checks, let SFCC do the work.
🔹 Reduce errors – Never miss an out-of-stock product or expiring promotion.
🔹 Improve efficiency – Automate repetitive tasks and focus on what really matters.
