## The prompt

```text
Check whether I already have a wishlist automation for products that come back in stock. If there is one, show me its status, subject line and email text. If there is none, draft one that sends an email when a wishlisted product comes back in stock, with a short friendly subject, the product name, price and image. Show me the draft and wait for my OK. Then create it, or turn the existing one on, and confirm that it is active.
```

## What happens when you paste it

You: Check whether I already have a wishlist automation for products that come back in stock…

Assistant: You have 1 back-in-stock automation, ID 12. It sends an email but is inactive, and the email still uses the default text. Calling: `saveto-wishlist/list-automations`, `saveto-wishlist/get-automation`, `saveto-wishlist/create-automation`, `saveto-wishlist/update-automation`, `saveto-wishlist/toggle-automation`.

Assistant: This will make changes in WooCommerce. Do you want me to go ahead?

Assistant: Updated automation 12 with the subject "Good news, {product_name} is back" and your new email text, then turned it on. Wishlisters now get it when a saved product returns to stock.
