How to Create Recurring Edits

Ablestar Bulk Product Editor allows you to create recurring edits to make your store more efficient. You can use this feature to hide out of stock products or make sure all products without images are not visible.

This feature is only available on Advanced and Professional plans.

To get started, login to Shopify and open the 'Ablestar Bulk Editor' menu and then 'Products' to start editing:

Filter Products

Start by filtering products from the 'Products' view. In this example we will search for all products without images:

1. Click Add Filters + button
2. Search and select 'Doesn't have images'
3. Add other filters as needed
4. Click the Edit products button to proceed

From the 'Configure modifications' view, determine how to edit the filtered products:

5. Field to Edit: search and select 'Visible on online store (Web)' from the picklist
6. Choose Status: select 'Not visible on Online Store' to hide products from the customer view
7. Click the Recurring Edit button

Specify the recurring schedule from the window that appears:

8. Title: Specify your preferred title
9. Frequency: Choose your preferred frequency:
   1. Monthly
   2. Weekly
   3. Daily
   4. Every 2 hours
   5. Hourly
10. Status: Set to 'Active' or 'Pause' once the edit is no longer needed
11. Timezone: Change as needed

Click Save from the admin bar to apply all changes and create the recurring rule.

The job will now run as scheduled to update any active products without images so they are not visible to users.
