# Scheduled Tasks

The Stock Reminder plugin uses two scheduled tasks that run automatically in the background.

## Notification Task

This task regularly checks whether products with active subscriptions are available again. As soon as a product meets the notification condition (default: stock greater than 0), notification emails are sent to all subscribers of that product.

Emails are sent via the Shopware Flow Builder. The email templates can be customized there at any time.

After sending, the subscription status is set to "notified".

## Cleanup Task

This task automatically deletes old subscription entries that have already been notified. The retention period is controlled via the "Delete old subscription entries after (days)" configuration setting (default: 30 days).

If the value is set to 0, no automatic cleanup is performed.

{% hint style="info" %}
The scheduled tasks are executed through the Shopware Scheduled Task system. Make sure that the cronjob is correctly set up in your Shopware environment so that the tasks run reliably.
{% endhint %}
