Description

I'm not sure if this is something that could be done from our end, but for the templates that have a subscribe form and a countdown, it would be a nice touch if the subscribers could be notified by email when the countdown is finished and the site is available. For example, on the Coming Soon 1 template, it is mentioned that "we will send you a heads-up when our site launches", but currently nothing happens when the countdown is finished. Would it be possible to integrate a feature to automatically send an email to the subscribers letting them know the site is available when the countdown is finished?

Suggested here.

Research direction

Start by tracing the subscribe form and countdown behavior in the Coming Soon 1 template. Determine how subscribers are stored and how site availability is detected, then define the notification flow and verify that subscribers receive an email when the countdown finishes.
