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 or unpublish out of stock products or make sure all products without images are not visible on a recurring schedule.

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 a smaller set of 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' option
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 that fall into the filter you applied:

5. Field to Edit: search 'Sales channel publishing' and select your sales channel from the picklist

6. Status: choose your publishing option to determine if you want the product hidden or visible:
   1. Published on sales channel
   2. Not published on sales channel
7. Click the Recurring Edit button to create the schedule

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.

Once the rule is saved, the job will run as scheduled to update any active products without images so they are not visible to users.
