Idea - Configure Notifications for CoFe CI/CD

The CoFe CI/CD is a great tool for managing builds and deployments. https://docs.commercetools.com/frontend-studio/using-the-ci-area That said, one thing it’s missing is notifications. It’d be super helpful to have settings where we could hook into a Slack channel or an email list to get updates for events like failed builds. This isn’t about reinventing the wheel—most CI/CD tools already do this out of the box. Adding it here seems like a simple win that could make a big difference. For comparison, Netlify already does this for frontend builds, but it’s oddly missing for backend builds in CoFe.

Research for adding Cart Change History

Hi All,I am the product manager for Audit Log Change History and Audit Log Premium.  We often get asked about covering carts in change history.  Carts can only be interacted with via API and therefore only make sense as an add-on to the Audit Log Premium license. Carts have high rates of change and to cover carts in change history would create more change records than all currently covered resources.  To help us judge whether it makes sense to invest in building cart change history, we have a few questions.If cart change history was an option that could be added to Audit Log Premium for an additional fee:How long would cart change history records need to be stored? Would 30 days be enough?  Would your company be willing to pay extra to have cart change history in addition to the Audit Log Premium fee? How would your team use cart change history?

Merchant Center Dark Mode

Do you think the Merchant Center will ever get a dark mode? It’s preferred for eye strain and power consumption.

Discovery and research for Change History API to have query predicates

Hi All,I am the product manager for Audit Log Change History and Audit Log Premium.  My team is starting a discovery and research effort to understand what our customers would like to be able to query by in the Change History API or filter by in Merchant Center Change History. We want to discover how your developers might use query predicates if we add this functionality to the Change History API.  Query predicates would also enable more filtering capabilities from the Merchant Center > Audit Log>Change History page.  How your Merchant Center business users would like to filter Change History is equally important.An example of one of the most common requests:When I select the changes filter, I want to filter on Changes when Channel has Change custom field, but then I want to go one step further and specify a custom field. I only care about changes to a specific custom field on channels and I don’t want to build code that throws out change records for other custom fields.Please le

Are you using Connectors ?

Are you using commercetools connect apps that are published by 3rd parties? Definitely awesome set of connects available for use to connect with your regular integrations - Klaviyo, Stripe, etc., I find them very good but I also see that in the recent times there are issues trying to deploy them as they are not kept uptodate (commercetools seem to have changed something on their end in the Publishing process) probably because of different priorities from the Integrators who have published this? Shouldnt commercetools validate them once in a while and mark them as stale or inform the integrators so they can publish an updated version of their connect apps? We have been really struggling to get the above working. The publication fails with minimal error info and its difficult to understand what went wrong - the commercetools cli with connect validate option doesnt work in Windows and inconsistent in Mac - with little or no documentation. Any one else using these or other connect apps and

What's underneath commercetools?

I was telling a colleague about commercetools. It is in his nature to ask many questions which I was happy to answer from my experince with commercetools.However, there was one question I could not find an answer to: What programming language does commercetools use under the hood? What other technologies does it use?Of course, with API first that doesn’t really matter. It is however interesting to know!Side note: I then talked to another colleague who also uses commercetools - we noticed that even the common signs you get when using an API that hint towards a language (e.g. certain formatting in error messages) don’t exist in commercetools. So congrats on a job well done!

Assign products to categories in bulk within Merchant Center.

It will be great to assign categories to multiple products in bulk inside merchant center, similar to the existing bulk set of attributes but for categories.This is of course possible with APIs but is a missing feature in Merchant Center.

Can we customize the Merchant Center using PHP ?

I am new to Commercetools and I created a free trial to explore it. Once I signed up for free trial, I got the access to Merchant Center and I installed the sunrise SPA demo data for testing. I placed one test order from SPA but in Merchant Center, I cannot see the order edit feature. Then I got to know from the below link that the order edit is not possible from Merchant Center and it can be through Custom Application. I have one question here, basically I am a PHP developer, and I saw there is a PHP SDK available in commercetools. Can I create a custom application using PHP or that has to be done from React or JS as I can see here it mentioned React Js knowledge is needed.https://docs.commercetools.com/merchant-center-customizations/custom-applicationsPlease help me to understand this. Thanks in Advance.

commercetools Customer Meet-ups

Having wrapped up Elevate and launched our new Community, the commercetools Customer Success Team is now beginning to organize this year’s Customer Meet-ups.  We’ve had tremendous success with these over the last several years and expect this year’s events to be even more impactful given the high volume of customer launches and continuous innovation we’ve seen since last year’s sessions. What are Customer Meet-ups?Customer Meet-ups are localized, small-group, networking and educational events that are organized by the commercetools CS Team, but are led (and often hosted) by our customers.   One of the most common questions our CS Team hears from customers is “What are other commercetools customers doing?”, so it is no surprise that this becomes the predominant discussion at our Customer Meet-ups.  Participants have the opportunity to share their commerce experience, challenges and successes, while hearing similarly from the rest of the group, providing a unique opportunity to collabora

CustomObjects vs Studio Config - What to use ?

Having done multiple implementations on the commercetools (CoFE+CoCo) platform and also using the old setup vs the new and improved Multitenant option -- we always have this question as to where do we keep this config - project.yml (old setup), studio config (project level or tastic or datasource config), custom object in commercetools or any other option. There is always this confusion around whether we should use one area vs other? Will it be good to manage if everything is in one place ? Studio is a business user tool, should we have only what they have to edit there as against any other service configurations - search (algolia) config / cms (amplience/contentful/contentstack) config / internal payment systems config / etc., How do we manage UI labels / success or error messages etc., If we add the config to frontastic studio config -- its sent in the call to controller via the actionContext in every call - invariably of whether the config is needed for the call or not -- which mean
