Web push notification platforms are able to track all subscriber clicks on the site. Subscribers that clicked on a product that wasn’t available at that moment will be assigned the relevant tag that enables you to send a web push message the next time he enters the site and the product is again available.

This automation scenario requires placement of the XML feed in your website code. 

4. Handy Advice
