The email format for deal alerts is annoying

2,718 775 June 6, 2025 at 09:22 AM
For the past couple years, when you get a deal alert it has been annoying to scroll all the way to the bottom through dozens of deal advertisements, just to figure out what deal alert triggered the email... To make things worse... now its gotten so long that gmail clips the message and you have to "view entire message" in a popup, and scroll all the way to the bottom again.

This is absurd. just put the deal alert info immediately below the link to what triggered the alert.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about the placement of the "Why did you get this?" section, and for letting us know about the "view entire message" issue.
The team has seen your feedback about the placement of that section and will take it into consideration.
They were able to update the message size so that you shouldn't have to click out to see that section anymore.
