Rules that keep your accounts busy
Decide once which products go to which accounts, on which days and at what times. A rule prepares each day's posts ahead of time and sends them for approval, or publishes them where you allow it. It can also post when a product arrives in your store or comes back in stock.
How it works
Products
A group in your store, which new products join by themselves; up to 100 products you pick; or up to 50 product page addresses. Products out of stock are skipped.
Accounts
Up to 10 accounts, each with its content type and how many posts a day it gets. Each account's card says how its network takes automated posts.
Schedule
Every day, weekdays or weekends, at the best times or at set times, and how long before a product comes back. Or post when a product is added or back in stock.
Content
The same choices as Generate from products, with badge suggestions that make no claims and price tags that never show a former price.
Name and cap
The free preview shows the next posts and the month's credits, and a monthly cap sets the most the rule may spend. A new rule stays off until you switch it on.
Good to know
- Pinterest and LinkedIn posts from a rule always wait for a person, TikTok posts arrive as drafts, and YouTube and Google Business Profile need your consent first.
- No misleading prices: a post that claims a discount, a former price or a deadline your shop can't prove waits as a draft.
- Checked again just before posting: if the product sold out, its price changed or its discount code stopped working, the post goes back to drafts.
- A post nobody approves expires two hours after its time, and is never published late.
- Pause all stops every rule at once, and days without automation keep the days you choose quiet.
- Event rules introduce a new product in three posts, or tell your followers that a product is back in stock.
- Blog sharing (RSS) shares each new post of your blog on the accounts you choose, with its title, summary, link and picture. It uses no credits.
- Each rule's card shows its last 30 days: the posts it published, the engagement they drew, the credits they cost and the engagement each credit brought.
- The dashboard's Opportunities card lists the products your rules saw come back in stock, go on sale or change price in the last 14 days, with a button to write a post.
- A rule's links carry tags naming the network and the rule, so your store's analytics can tell its visits apart.
Which plans include it
Every plan includes automation; plans differ in how many rules can be switched on at once. A rule's posts use credits as Generate from products does, within the rule's monthly cap.
