How to create a "new-arrivals" collection to only include products created in a certain time period

[Loz86]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to create a new-arrivals collection which will only include a certain amount of products (less than 5000 for the filter to show)

What options do I have to be able to do this automatically? 

As I have a large product size of around 21k.

@Loz86  use shopify-flow or usemechanic to automate tagging/metafields by date that are then used in collection conditions.

shopify-flow template remove the "new tag" after 90 days

Mechanic tasks search for "new product"

Hey @Loz86 

You can use the Bulk Operations feature in Arigato Workflow Automation to automatically add the 5000 products to the custom collection in just a few clicks. With this feature, you can add a custom filter to search for products created in a certain time frame and have the workflow add them to the collection automatically.

Please feel free to drop us a line if you have any questions or if you need help with the configuration.
