WooCommerce Mobile Alerts
Get WooCommerce push notifications on iPhone and Android the instant an order is placed, a payment fails, or a subscription changes. Route to the right person. Require acknowledgement. Escalate if they go silent.
1,000 free events/month · No card required
Order emails land in inboxes nobody monitors in real time. A new order placed at 11:47 PM might not be seen until the next morning.
Shared order notification addresses create ambiguity — two people assume the other is handling it, or nobody does.
There's no confirmation an order notification was seen. Silence looks the same as action.
High-priority orders — express shipping, high value, repeat customers — receive the same email treatment as everything else.
FlowAlert sends WooCommerce push notifications directly to the right staff member's iPhone or Android — with optional acknowledgement and automatic escalation.

iPhone Order Alerts
Staff with iPhones receive native iOS push notifications the moment an order lands. The alert appears on the lock screen, plays a sound, and waits for acknowledgement — exactly like iMessage, but for orders.
Android Order Notifications
Android users get WooCommerce order notifications via Firebase Cloud Messaging — the same infrastructure as Gmail and Google services. High-priority delivery, no delays, works on all Android devices.
Out-of-Hours Coverage
An order placed at midnight reaches the on-call staff member's phone instantly. They acknowledge from their bed — or FlowAlert escalates to the next person. No order waits until morning.
Express & High-Value Routing
Set a rule: orders over $500 or with express shipping go directly to the fulfilment manager's phone. Not a shared inbox. One person, one push, one acknowledgement.
Subscription Payment Failures
When a recurring payment fails, the accounts team receives a mobile push notification immediately. They follow up before the customer cancels — recovering revenue that email never would have saved.
Multi-Staff Teams
Route an order event to a whole team. Everyone gets the mobile push at once. The first to acknowledge claims it. Everyone else's notification clears. Clean, fast, accountable.
The signals this integration fires — each one routable to a different person, priority, or escalation chain.

The things people ask before connecting this — the docs cover the rest.
Staff install the free FlowAlert iOS app (requires iOS 15+). When a WooCommerce order fires, FlowAlert delivers a push notification via Apple Push Notification service (APNs) — the same infrastructure used by every major iOS app. The notification appears on the lock screen with sound and vibration.
Staff install the free FlowAlert Android app. WooCommerce order notifications are delivered via Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) — Google's high-reliability push infrastructure. Works on Android 8+ across all manufacturers.
They appear on the lock screen with sound and vibration whenever the phone isn't silenced. FlowAlert respects Do Not Disturb and Focus modes — it won't override a silenced phone unless the recipient allows FlowAlert through in their own device settings. The real safety net is escalation: if no one acknowledges in time, the alert automatically goes to the next person.
Yes. Route to a team — all members receive the push notification simultaneously. The first to acknowledge claims the order. Unacknowledged alerts escalate after your configured timeout.
No. Install the FlowAlert WordPress plugin. It hooks directly into WooCommerce's order events without modifying existing settings, email templates, or WooCommerce configuration.
Yes. FlowAlert captures all WooCommerce add-on events including Subscriptions (renewals, failures, cancellations) and Bookings (new bookings, cancellations, confirmations). Each event type can have its own routing rule.
Typically under 2 seconds end-to-end. The order fires in WooCommerce, FlowAlert receives the webhook, applies the routing rule, and pushes to the mobile device — all in under 2 seconds in normal conditions.
Yes. The free plan includes 1,000 push notifications per month. Pro is $29/month for unlimited notifications. No per-seat cost for staff receiving alerts.
Set up FlowAlert in under two minutes: connect a source, define your first routing rule, and the right person’s phone knows from then on.
