Create Rules from Products

You can use Ablestar Bulk Product Editor to create a custom Product Rule. In this example, we are going to bulk update a set of vendor to 'Draft' status.

This feature is only available on Advanced and Professional plans.

Step 1: Create a Product Rule

Once your filter is created from the Products view, click the Create Rule button:

From the 'Create - New Rule' view, specify the following fields:

1. Title: specify a descriptive title
2. Status: status for the rule can be 'Active' or 'Paused'
3. Run Rule: you can determine if the rule runs only on creation, or on creation and including any updates

Step 2: Add Modification

From the 'Product Modification' section:

1. Click the Add Modification button
2. Choose the 'Status' option in the 'Field' to edit field
3. Select 'Draft' radio button
4. Click Add modification button to save

Add additional modifications to the same rule as needed and then click 'Save Changes' from the black admin bar to create the rule.

Negative Modifications

This step is optional and allows you to configure the opposite scenario, if none of the vendors match my criteria:

From the 'Negative Modifications' section:

1. Click the Add Modification button
2. Choose the 'Status' option in the 'Field' to edit field
3. Select 'Active' radio button
4. Click Add modification button to save
5. Click 'Save Changes' from the black admin bar to create the rule

With this negative rule applied, any vendor that is not 'Timberland' should be set to Active status, once you trigger the rule to refresh.

Automations: Run All Rules

From the 'Automations' navigation menu → Product Rules tab, we will click the Actions → Run button to apply the new rule for the first time:

You can return to the 'Automations' view at any time to trigger your rules to run and refresh manually.
