I have a workflow that assigns a metafield with an ‘expiry date’ for variants for products that were added. The expiry date will be set to 7 days from now. this is so that i can create a collection, or a search function where users can filter by what has been added the last week. I now need a workflow that will then delete the date from the metafield after the expiry date is met. AI had suggested me to take this route since tags aren’t ideal for me as i’m using them for something else.
This can be a paid gig if necessary.
For information
- Metafield namespace & keys
custom.new_arrival_expiry (date style)
custom.new_arrivals_expiry_timestamp (integer style for unix formatting)
Once all is set up, I would then create a metafields search filter as follows to get the list of variants/products created in the last 7 days
Filter Name: “New Arrivals”.
- Type: Metafield.
- Metafield: custom.new_arrival_expiry (if i use the date metafield)
- Condition: exists.
of course, any better alternatives are appreciated
