New hawk alert options, and more!
🕑 Added 2020-08-03 13:24:46 +0000 UTCHello Patrons :)
First up, thank you for your continued support - it really means a lot, and you are the best!
It's also release day for BrickHawk, with some new features that have been requested by Patrons. First up...
Honour the threshold for availability alerts
This one has been requested by many of you. By default, BrickHawk treats each Hawk Alert option independently. This means that if you have a Hawk Alert set for "20% or more off" and "Availability alerts" switched on, and a full price set went from Out of Stock to In Stock, you would receive an alert for the availability change (regardless of the threshold you have set).
If you'd prefer to only receive an Availability Alert if the price threshold is also met, you can toggle on the new "Apply price threshold to Availability alerts" switch, and BrickHawk will only send the alert if the threshold is also met. However do note: you will need to toggle on the "Use RRP for comparison" and "Availability alerts" switches to be able to activate this new option - this is required so that when only the availability changes, BrickHawk has something (the set's RRP) to compare the retailer's price to when evaluating if the threshold has been met or not.
The layout of the Hawk Alert options has been re-worked to try and make everything clearer, and you can also click the "Not sure what each option does?" link to see some handy helper text:
Next up is...
Additional set options
Just below the Hawk Alert options for each set, you will also find new options to mute all SUPERHAWKS! and/or all THEMEHAWKS! for a particular set. This is really useful if you have a SUPERHAWK! for a retailer, but they frequently change the price of a particular set that does not interest you. Rather than have to put up with alerts you don't need, you can toggle off SUPERHAWKS! for that set, and still receive SUPERHAWKS! for other sets from the retailer.
Another use case for this is for when you have a THEMEHAWK! set for say "Creator Expert", but you don't want to receive alerts for the sets in the theme that you have already purchased. You can achieve this now by toggling off THEMEHAWKS! for the sets you already have.
Next, it's...
Hawk counts and limits
This one is pretty straight forward - on your Account page you can now easily visualise the number of hawks you have used:
And finally, a new Insight...
"Lowest price now, that isn't Out of Stock (OOS)"
In the last release, a BrickHawk Insight showing "Lowest price now" was added to Hawk Alerts to show you the lowest price that was currently on offer. However this didn't take into account if the retailer had any stock! To really help you out, BrickHawk now has three (3!) "Lowest prices" for the set - Lowest ever in the history of BrickHawk, Lowest now regardless of availability, and Lowest now that isn't Out of Stock (OOS):
Worth waiting for I'm Rick James Bricks to get the Lamborghini back in stock!
And that's a wrap...
...for now at least! There are still more features in development, including a visual aid for Hawk Alerts that should help paint a thousand words...
