Wishlist Notification Email Updates

April 1 - afarnsworth | 18 Comments

We've made some changes to our wishlist notification system. These changes are mostly around improving the reliability and speed of the system and should be invisible to users, but they will result in some changes to how wishlist email notification stats are reported. Previously, the number reported on the Wishlist Notifications page on the Steamworks Financials site was the number of accounts processed. This wasn't quite the same as the number of notifications actually sent. There are a few reasons why we might process an account but not notify:

The customer has opted out emails for discounts on wishlist items.
The account has been disabled.
The customer has over 25 items on their wishlist on discount, which is the maximum number of items we'll include in an email.

With these changes, the number of notifications reported for a game will only include cases where the email was actually sent and the game was included in the email. The conditions around when we send an email to a customer have not changed, this is just a change to reporting.

This is not retroactive - previously reported numbers will be unchanged. Going forward the number of "Notifications Sent" will be more accurate, but you may see the number reported is lower than it has been for past discounts.
