How can I automate slide changes on Simple Theme?

Topic summary

Shop owner on Shopify’s Simple theme (Miche.com) wants to automate switching the homepage slideshow to new sale-specific slides, triggered by a sale or scheduled time, instead of manually updating. This is about replacing the slide set, not the usual auto-rotation within a carousel.

  • Seeking an app or method to schedule or conditionally swap slideshow content.
  • “Slides/slideshow” = the homepage image carousel in the theme.
  • Latest update: A helper requested the site URL and, if password-protected, the password to review and suggest a solution.
  • No solution or decisions yet. Action item: share site access for inspection.
  • Status: open; key question is whether automation is achievable within Simple theme or via a compatible app.

I am on the Simple Theme for my shop Miche.com. I would like to know if there is a way (or an app) to automatically set a timer for a change over to new slides, example; not everyday slides run, but change over as soon as we do a sale to new slides, instead of me having to sit by my computer and manually hit all the magic buttons to change the slideshow out. Hope this makes sense.
