The Wishlist app blocks let you insert real‑time wishlist items directly into your triggered email templates, including reminders, back‑in‑stock notices, and price‑drop messages. Once installed in Dotdigital, the blocks appear in EasyEditor and you can customise them to match your layout, branding, and the product details you want to highlight.

How the block works
The block dynamically pulls the customer’s wishlist items when the campaign is sent.
Content updates in real time based on product availability, price changes, and stock levels.
