Amazon devices are already on sale ahead of Amazon Prime Prime Early Access Sale on October 11, and Alexa is now ready to help its users keep track of amazing deals. How is that possible?
According to Amazon's official website, Alexa can now give an update on upcoming deals on the items listed on Prime, and it can even buy them on the customers' behalf.
Amazon Sums Up How This Feature Works
To set up this feature, Amazon gives a step-by-step rundown of what users need to do.
From Amazon Prime, customers can add their desired product to their Cart and Wishlist, and they can even Save them for later on their Amazon device or on the website as well.
Alexa will then notify users of Prime if the deal on the products they saved goes live from up to 24 hours before it, only by saying, "Alexa, what are my notifications?"
Users can also let Alexa buy the items they saved on your behalf or only notify you if they did, so users can just sit and relax waiting for their packages.
Amazon says that this feature will be exclusive to Prime Members who will be asked to pay using the default payment details in their Amazon accounts if users ask Alexa to shop for them.
An email and push notifications will also be sent to customers if items sell out quickly, especially if it was not able to order them for the users.
Given the chance that a user succeeded in ordering the item, they can also ask Alexa to void the purchase by choosing the "Cancel order request" in the confirmation email if the customer changes their mind.
To protect the privacy of their users, Apple will not send a notification of any deals that may include sensitive content on them, Amazon says.
Customers Can Get Ahead On These Deals With Alexa
On October 11 and 12, users can test Alexa's newest feature as Amazon is back with another Prime Early Access Sale, according to CNN.
