How to Use Product Rule Templates
Ablestar Bulk Product Editor allows you to create a product rule or automation using a pre-made template to get started quickly. In this example, we are going to add tags to all On-Sale products.
This feature is only available on Advanced and Professional plans.
You can create a Product rule manually, or use the procedure below to start with a template instead:
Templates
From the dashboard, click the 'Automations' navigation menu and then Product Rules → View Templates button:
-
Choose a Template:
From the 'Product rule templates' view, there are currently (4) template options you can choose from. Click the Use template button needed:
2. Configure Options:
From the 'Create new rule' view, most field options will default to the template. Modify as needed:
- Title: specify a descriptive title
- Status: status for the rule can be 'Active' or 'Paused'
- Run Rule: you can determine if the rule runs only on creation, or when a product is updated or creation
- Search parameters: static field that will display your search parameters, once indicated.
Because of the flexibility of Product Rules, it is possible to create two rules that will trigger each other. For example, one rule might add a tag, while another rule will delete the same tag.
To mitigate this scenario, if a product is updated more than 24 times in a single day, our app will pause the rule updating the product.
3. Add Modifications
If you need to add additional modifications, click the Add modification button. There are a variety of useful examples of Product Rules.
Once modifications are confirmed, click 'Save Changes' from the black admin bar to create the rule.
4. Negative Modifications
This is useful if you need to configure the opposite scenario of the action you just configured. Learn more about Negative modifications in this article.
Return back to the Automations → Product Rules view any time you need to modify, delete or update the rules further.
