Is there a process to add products to a collection based on a date within a metafield?
Scenario:
A book is published on 1st April 2023 and will be included in a separate manual collection. But, I would like it to automatically sit within a ‘coming soon’ collection also, as soon as the product is created. But when the date becomes 1st April 2023 I would like to move the book to a ‘new’ collection and stay there for a set period of time (1 month for sake of argument) whilst remaining in the separate manual collection.
Hi,
You sure can do that with Shopify Flow.
Could you elaborate how this is set up?
First, you select trigger that would set this flow to work.
Then, Check if for when product was created. If it is within the dates you need, then Action move to the Collection. If it is not within the dates you want, then Action remove from collection.
This solution won`t make this Flow absolutely automatic → change dates at the end of every week or so.
Unfortunately the product creation date has no bearing on its publication date (currently within a custom metafield). So i presume Shopify Flow is not capable of doing this?
You can choose Publication Date, too.
But the publication date of every book would be different? Flow would need to read a metafield which holds a date then calculate what the date is every day and make changes based on that – is that even possible?
Hi, I’m trying to do exactly the same thing. Ever get a workable solution?
