Instagram allows you set an alert to launch new products

Recently, more and more large companies such as Microsoft, Google and even clothing companies are selling their products through Instagram, and now there is a new feature in the form of a poster allows users to get notification and alert when they launch a new product.

The new poster can be placed in publications about products that will soon be available for purchase and shopping from Instagram itself. Within the label there is a button to set a reminder, if pressed it will receive a notification later when the product is already available for purchase.

The notification appears to the user the day before the product is available for purchase as a kind of suspense, and also a quarter of an hour before its official launch, and this feature is useful to ensure that the product is obtained before the rest, especially if the quantity is limited.

This new feature comes in the form of a poster in the rest of Instagram's efforts to turn its platform into an online store and not just a social network for photos and videos.

According to Laila Amjadi, the manager of the shopping service at Instagram, she works to transform the application in the form of a shop dedicated to each person, so there are several advantages to improve the shopping experience such as tags and payment within the application.

Currently the product launch reminder is being tested by Instagram and will be available later for more major companies and brands.
