Prepping for a big sale, seasonal refresh, or new product drop usually means late nights and lots of tabs. You’re updating tags, toggling visibility, monitoring stock, and trying to keep your team aligned — all while hoping nothing gets missed.
Automation lets you skip the chaos. With the right workflows, your store can update itself on schedule, alert your team to potential issues, and ensure every moving piece goes live exactly when it should.
In Part 7 of our What You Should Automate in Shopify series, we’re covering the automations that keep your launches smooth and your seasonal updates stress-free. These workflows help you eliminate manual prep work, surface the right alerts, and maintain visibility before, during, and after your campaigns.
Automations to prep your storefront and content
Campaigns move fast — and if your store isn’t ready when a sale goes live, you’re already behind. These workflows help ensure your storefront is clean, relevant, and aligned with what your customers expect. Whether you’re retiring outdated content or tagging products for display, automation makes your campaign prep bulletproof.
- Automatically Unpublish a Blog Post on a Certain Date
- Bulk Tag Products That Contain a Video Media File
- Use AI to Generate Product Descriptions & Tags
- Use Tags To Track Percentage Difference Between Compare At and Price
- Alert Admin if Product Still in Sale Collection After Date
Automations to track inventory before and during a launch
As soon as a campaign goes live, inventory starts moving. These automations give your team real-time insight into what’s selling, what’s missing, and what needs urgent restock. No more chasing reports or manually checking stock levels — just clear signals when something needs attention.
- Send a “Low Stock” Alert for Products In A Specific Collection

- POS – Product Not in Stock, Notify Inventory
- POS – Mark Item for Urgent Restock
Automations to surface key customer signals
Campaigns aren’t just about traffic — they’re about insight. These workflows help you tag customer behaviors, surface patterns, and follow up with high-value signals while the campaign is still fresh. Ideal for retention, upsells, and post-promo outreach.

Automations to support fulfillment and retail staff
A smooth campaign isn’t just about what customers see — it’s about how your internal teams respond. These workflows flag product issues, frustrated customers, and special order needs, giving fulfillment, operations, and support teams the context they need without asking them to watch every order.
- POS – Log Damaged or Defective Product
- POS: Customer Was Upset, Needs Follow-Up
- Tag Orders Going to a Certain State or Province
