How to Schedule a Bulk Edit and CSV Import/Export

Please refer to the steps below on how to schedule your bulk edit and CSV import/export tasks:

1. Create your bulk edit or CSV import/export task as usual.
2. Click the Schedule Bulk Edit button at the bottom of the task page.
3. A scheduling panel will appear where you can configure the frequency of the task, start date & time, and the time zone (Current time in the selected time zone is also displayed).

Scheduling Frequency Options

Run Once

Use this to run the task a single time in the future. You will set:

• The start date & time
• The time zone
• (Optional) Automatically revert the task in a later date & time. If the edit is temporary (like holiday pricing or promotional sales), you may toggle this option. This will return affected items to their pre-edit values at the date & time you set them. Please note that the revert time must be at least 6 hours after the scheduled edit time

Run Daily

Use this to run the task automatically every day. You will set:

• The time of day to run the task
• The time zone

Run Weekly

Use this to run the task every week on a specific day. You will set:

• The day of the week
• The time of day
• The time zone

Run Monthly

Use this to run the task once per month. You will set:

• The day of the month
• The time of day
• The time zone

Managing Scheduled Tasks

To view or edit scheduled tasks:

1. Go to the app dashboard
2. Under Account Status, find the Scheduled Tasks.
