Transcript
An automation is a standing rule. One trigger, one template, one schedule. Here is the rule this demo shop already runs.
Press New automation. The builder reads as one sentence.
Choose what starts it. A price drop, a new item, a restock, a daily pick, or by hand. This one is for restocks.
Then how the day's slots are made. At a fixed time, spread through the day, or as soon as it happens.
Rate limits cap it at so many posts a day and an hour. Each item is held for a number of days before it may appear again.
Before anything goes out, choose I approve each post, which is the default, or publish on schedule, for a feed you trust.
Name it, and create it. It starts with the next poll, and the switch on its row pauses it at any time.
