Hi,  I'm currently trying to update a lot of my products colour, size and gender variants- i've managed to create a flow that is only triggered by a new product being added but I almost want it to be scheduled automatically  to run with out it being a new product so it can run though my products and tag them with 'Variant needed'. I know you can manually run the flow but it only allows for 50 products at a time.  let me know your thoughts Screenshot 2024-07-22 112311.png

You can use the Scheduled time trigger and have it run every hour or something like that. 

 

After the trigger, you would have a "Get product data" action. If you are trying to go through all the products, you need at least a query filter for tag_not:"needs variant". You'll also need a way to mark which products you have already processed so the query doesn't return the same results. One way to do that is to add a second tag like "processed". So your query in "Get product data" would be tag_not:"needs variant" AND tag_not:"processed". You would need to also set that "processed" tag in the otherwise path for your logic (so that processed products have at least one of those tags). 

 

Alternatively, there is a trick where you can up the page size in the Admin to 250, if that helps. https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/shopify-flow/manual#considerations-for-running-a-workflow-manuall...

 

Finally, one option you have is to use a 3p app. I know the "Flow helper" app has a trigger called "Bulk product trigger" that will run on all products.
