Alexa will now tell you when items in your Amazon cart or wish list go on sale

Amazon's Alexa voice assistant will soon tell users when items they've had an eye on are about to be on sale. The company announced on Thursday that Alexa will notify Prime customers up to 24 hours in advance of upcoming sales on items in their Amazon wish list and shopping cart, or items that were marked "saved for later" on the platform. The feature will work with fourth-generation Echo smart speakers and newer. For example, if a customer is looking at a new TV and it's been sitting in a wish list, Alexa will give the consumer a heads-up that it will be on sale soon. The Amazon Echo ring will turn yellow when an item goes on sale, so a user knows to ask Alexa to read out their notifications.
