Schedule your sites to automatically process

Schedule your sites to automatically process runs at certain intervals per day in Productsup.

You can set up automatic scheduling so that your site can be run at certain intervals per day.

Note

Scheduling always triggers a full run. This includes all aspects of processing, from importing your data source to exporting your feeds. A site can never have two simultaneous runs. If a site is scheduled or triggered to run whilst a current process is still running, then this will go into the queue. After the current process is finished, the next one can begin.

Tip

Make sure you leave enough time between your scheduled runs for the site to process, otherwise the platform adds runs to the queue.

Add scheduling

You can add as many different schedules as desired, but only for all imports and exports within a site. Additionally, you can't set up individual schedules for different data sources or exports within the same site.

  1. Navigate to data sources

  2. Click on trigger

  3. Click add site

  4. Add the site and event which should trigger your current site to run
