The new feature will notify Prime customers up to 24 hours in advance about specific discounts, the company announced today. The new feature is designed to help customers save money.

The smart voice assistant will alert Prime members when eligible products in their wish list or shopping cart are on sale. When the deal is live, customers will be able to ask for the items or send a reminder.

Amazon didn't say what qualifies as an eligible item or if the deals will also include products sold by third parties.

Only US Amazon Prime customers with fourth generation or newer smart speakers are able to take advantage of the new capability.

To turn it on, you need to open the app and click on Notifications. You can find Shopping Recommendations and enable Deal Recommendations.

Amazon's ring will turn yellow once enabled. If an eligible product is about to go on sale, a pop-up notification will show up on your smart device. If you want to get more information about the deal, you can either ask for it to be ordered or remind you when it becomes available.
