Solution 1:
Choice 1:
We will let you know when this option will be available.
Yes, it is a grammatically correct sentence.
Use the above sentence if your intention is that, at some point in the future, you will let the readers know the exact date the option will be available, (meaning the actual date of availability for that option is even further in the future).
A slightly modified alternative is to say:
We will let you know when this option will become available.
Choice 2:
We will let you know when this option is available.
Use this choice if, at a future date, you will let them know the option is available. In other words, when the option has become available, you will let them know at that time.
Choice 3:
We will let you know when this option be available.
This is grammatically incorrect. Do NOT use Choice 3.
Here's a usable alternative to Choice 3:
We will let you know when this option becomes available.
Solution 2:
Scenario 1:
Customer : I heard that Option A will be available soon. Could you look into your database and let me know when it will be available ?
Agent : Sure, my assistant here will access the database records. We will let you know when this option will be available.
Assistant (few seconds later) : It will be available starting on Friday.
Scenario 2:
Customer : I want to buy that Device as soon as Option A becomes available. Here is my contact number. Can you let me know when it becomes available ?
Agent : Sure, my assistant here will take your number. We will let you know when this option becomes available.
Assistant (few months later) : You wanted to know when Option A becomes available. We are happy to inform you that it is available now.
In Scenario 1, the information is already known, and the customer is asking for sharing that information. In Scenario 2, the information is not yet known, and the customer is asking to be informed as soon as it becomes known.
It is not meaningful to say "We will let you know when this option be available" which mixes up the tenses.
