# Set up notification rules for back-in-stock alerts

Use Notification rules to control *when* subscribers receive alerts and *how* they’re saved in Shopify. These rules help you avoid sending the wrong alert to the wrong customer—and keep your data clean.

## Access notification rules settings

{% hint style="success" %}
Steps:

1. From the XFlow dashboard, navigate to the **"Notify me" widget settings**.
2. Select the **Others** tab.
   {% endhint %}

## Available rules

### Enable location-based notifications (by country)

Send alerts **only when the product is restocked at the location customers subscribed to**.

{% hint style="info" %}
:star: Tips:

* Useful when you manage **multiple warehouses in different countries**.
* Keep this **off** if all locations ship globally or you don’t manage inventory by country. In that case, all locations share the same back-in-stock alert.
  {% endhint %}

### Create Shopify customer

Automatically create a **Shopify customer profile** for each subscriber. [*Learn more about Customers*](https://help.shopify.com/manual/customers)

{% hint style="info" %}
:thumbsup: Best for:

* Stores planning follow-up campaigns
* Merchants who want subscriber data inside Shopify.
  {% endhint %}
