3) Set up behavior

Listening to the availability_notification event

Add the following plugin to your project:

PLUGIN	SPECIFICATION	PREREQUISITES	NAMESPACE
AvailabilityNotificationSubscriber	This plugin is responsible for listening to and processing product availability changes.		Spryker\Zed\AvailabilityNotification\Business\Subscription

src/Pyz/Zed/Event/EventDependencyProvider.php

<?php

namespace Pyz\Zed\Event;

use Spryker\Zed\AvailabilityNotification\Communication\Plugin\Event\Subscriber\AvailabilityNotificationSubscriber;

use Spryker\Zed\Event\EventDependencyProvider as SprykerEventDependencyProvider;

class EventDependencyProvider extends SprykerEventDependencyProvider
{
 /**
 * @return \Spryker\Zed\Event\Dependency\EventSubscriberCollectionInterface
 */
 public function getEventSubscriberCollection()
 {
 $eventSubscriberCollection = parent::getEventSubscriberCollection();

 $eventSubscriberCollection->add(new AvailabilityNotificationSubscriber());

 return $eventSubscriberCollection;
 }
}

Verification

To verify that AvailabilityNotificationSubscriber is working:

Add a new product and make it unavailable.
As a customer, subscribe to its availability notifications on Yves.
Make the product available.
Check your mailbox for the email about the product’s availability.

Email handling

Add the following plugins to your project:

PLUGIN	SPECIFICATION	PREREQUISITES	NAMESPACE
AvailabilityNotificationSubscriptionMailTypePlugin	Handles the email sent after subscribing to product availability notification.		Spryker\Zed\AvailabilityNotification\Communication\Plugin\Mail
AvailabilityNotificationUnsubscribedMailTypePlugin	Handles the email sent after unsubscribing from product availability notification.		Spryker\Zed\AvailabilityNotification\Communication\Plugin\Mail
AvailabilityNotificationMailTypePlugin	Handles the email sent after the product’s availability status change.	None	Spryker\Zed\AvailabilityNotification\Communication\Plugin\Mail

src/Pyz/Zed/Mail/MailDependencyProvider.php

<?php

namespace Pyz\Zed\Mail;
...
use Spryker\Zed\AvailabilityNotification\Communication\Plugin\Mail\AvailabilityNotificationMailTypePlugin;
use Spryker\Zed\AvailabilityNotification\Communication\Plugin\Mail\AvailabilityNotificationSubscriptionMailTypePlugin;
use Spryker\Zed\AvailabilityNotification\Communication\Plugin\Mail\AvailabilityNotificationUnsubscribedMailTypePlugin;
...
use Spryker\Zed\Kernel\Container;
use Spryker\Zed\Mail\Business\Model\Mail\MailTypeCollectionAddInterface;
...
use Spryker\Zed\Mail\MailDependencyProvider as SprykerMailDependencyProvider;
...

class MailDependencyProvider extends SprykerMailDependencyProvider
{
 /**
 * @param \Spryker\Zed\Kernel\Container $container
 *
 * @return \Spryker\Zed\Kernel\Container
 */
 public function provideBusinessLayerDependencies(Container $container)
 {
 $container = parent::provideBusinessLayerDependencies($container);

 $container->extend(static::MAIL_TYPE_COLLECTION, function (MailTypeCollectionAddInterface $mailCollection) {
 $mailCollection
 ...
 ->add(new AvailabilityNotificationUnsubscribedMailTypePlugin())
 ->add(new AvailabilityNotificationSubscriptionMailTypePlugin())
 ->add(new AvailabilityNotificationMailTypePlugin())
 ...
 ;

 return $mailCollection;
 });

 ...

 return $container;
 }
}

Verification

To verify that AvailabilityNotificationSubscriptionMailTypePlugin, AvailabilityNotificationUnsubscribedMailTypePlugin and AvailabilityNotificationMailTypePlugin are working:

Add a new product.
On YVES, as a customer, subscribe to its availability notifications.
Switch the availability status of the product several times.
Check your mailbox for the emails about the product’s status being switched to available and unavailable.

Customer behavior

Add the following plugins to your project:

PLUGIN	SPECIFICATION	PREREQUISITES	NAMESPACE
AvailabilityNotificationAnonymizerPlugin	Anonymizes customer data during customer anonymization.		Spryker\Zed\AvailabilityNotification\Communication\Plugin\CustomerAnonymizer
AvailabilityNotificationSubscriptionCustomerTransferExpanderPlugin	Expands `CustomerTransfer` with availability notification subscriptions data.		Spryker\Zed\AvailabilityNotification\Communication\Plugin\Customer

src/Pyz/Zed/Customer/CustomerDependencyProvider.php

<?php

namespace Pyz\Zed\Customer;

...
use Spryker\Zed\AvailabilityNotification\Communication\Plugin\Customer\AvailabilityNotificationSubscriptionCustomerTransferExpanderPlugin;
use Spryker\Zed\AvailabilityNotification\Communication\Plugin\CustomerAnonymizer\AvailabilityNotificationAnonymizerPlugin;
...
use Spryker\Zed\Customer\CustomerDependencyProvider as SprykerCustomerDependencyProvider;
...

class CustomerDependencyProvider extends SprykerCustomerDependencyProvider
{
 ...

 /**
 * @return \Spryker\Zed\Customer\Dependency\Plugin\CustomerAnonymizerPluginInterface[]
 */
 protected function getCustomerAnonymizerPlugins()
 {
 return [
 ...
 new AvailabilityNotificationAnonymizerPlugin(),
 ];
 }

 /**
 * @return \Spryker\Zed\Customer\Dependency\Plugin\CustomerTransferExpanderPluginInterface[]
 */
 protected function getCustomerTransferExpanderPlugins()
 {
 return [
 ...
 new AvailabilityNotificationSubscriptionCustomerTransferExpanderPlugin(),
 ];
 }
}

Verification

To verify that AvailabilityNotificationAnonymizerPlugin is working:

Add a new product.
On Yves, as a company user, subscribe to its availability notifications.
Check that the corresponding line is added to the spy_availability_notification_subscription table.
Delete this user.
Check that the line is deleted from the spy_availability_notification_subscription table.

Verification

To verify that AvailabilityNotificationSubscriptionCustomerTransferExpanderPlugin is working:

Add a new product.
On Yves, as a company user, subscribe to its availability notifications.
On Yves, go to account overview > Newsletters.
Check that you are subscribed to the product’s availability notifications.

4) Set up the configuration

You can control whether AvailabilityNotificationFacade::subscribe() throws an exception \Spryker\Zed\Product\Business\Exception\MissingProductException (if SKU does not exist in the database) or not. You can do it via the AvailabilityNotificationConfig::AVAILABILITY_NOTIFICATION_CHECK_PRODUCT_EXISTS config setting. If set to false (by default), then the exception is thrown. If set to true, then the exception is not thrown, but AvailabilityNotificationFacade::subscribe() returns the instance of AvailabilityNotificationSubscriptionResponseTransfer::$isSuccess = true.

src/Pyz/Glue/AvailabilityNotification/AvailabilityNotificationConfig.php

<?php

namespace Pyz\Zed\AvailabilityNotification;

use Spryker\Zed\AvailabilityNotification\AvailabilityNotificationConfig as SprykerAvailabilityNotificationConfig;

class AvailabilityNotificationConfig extends SprykerAvailabilityNotificationConfig
{
    protected const AVAILABILITY_NOTIFICATION_CHECK_PRODUCT_EXISTS = true;
}

“Verification”

We recommend setting AVAILABILITY_NOTIFICATION_CHECK_PRODUCT_EXISTS to true. Make sure that you are not catching the mentioned above exception somewhere in your Pyz code but use check of $availabilityNotificationSubscriptionResponseTransfer->getIsSuccess().

The config setting exists for BC reasons only.
