Operations are the building blocks of the Catalog Operations workflow. Every operation runs against a catalogue (or a filtered subset), produces a reversible change set, and writes scored, traceable updates back to records. This page is the reference for every operation currently available. Find them under the Operation tab on any catalogue.Documentation Index

How operations run
An operation always:- Reads records (the entire catalogue, or a saved filter).
- Optionally calls models, web sources, or another catalogue.
- Produces a run — a record of inputs, outputs, and per-change confidence.
- Writes back changes, gated by the auto-apply / review / reject thresholds you’ve configured.
- Run on demand — single execution against a filter.
- Scheduled — recurring (hourly, daily, weekly, on-event).
- Chained — output of one operation triggers the next (e.g. Onboard → Validate → Normalize → Bulk Enrich → Push & Sync).
Operation reference
| Operation | What it does |
|---|---|
| Export | Produce a file in CSV, XLS, Shopify, or Amazon format. Filters and column selection are honored. |
| Price Insights & Monitoring | Configure recurring price checks across marketplaces; pricing trends and anomalies feed into Monitor → Price. |
| Bulk Enrichment | Fill missing or incomplete attributes at scale. Sources can be web search, model generation, supplier lookup, or another catalogue. |
| Analyse | Run the data-quality report (per-field scores, distribution stats, critical issues, overall score). |
| Data Source Mapping | Match uploaded files to existing records using text similarity scoring; produces a mapping draft you can review before merge. |
| Push & Sync | Push records to Shopify or Amazon (Beta). Maps catalogue attributes to platform fields per a configurable schema. |
| Enrich Images | Generate or repair images with metadata: alt text, primary subject tags, dimensions, format normalization (Beta). |
| SEO Report | Score listings on SEO health and produce optimization suggestions per field (Beta). |
| Find Duplicates | Identify duplicate records using AI matching; produces merge proposals you can approve in bulk (Beta). |
| Find Similarities | Group similar records into clusters and surface relationships; useful for variant grouping and supplier match (Beta). |
| Validate Data | Run schema, format, and rule checks; produce an issue list with severity (Beta). |
| Normalize Data | Standardize formats — units, currencies, dates, casing, language — across selected fields (Beta). |
| Generate Taxonomy | Propose a hierarchical taxonomy from your records. Output goes to the Taxonomy surface for curation and versioning (Beta). |
Export
Produce a file in CSV, XLS, Shopify-ready, or Amazon-ready format.- Inputs — catalogue or filter, column selection, output format.
- Outputs — a downloadable file, with a record of the export in run history.
- Formats — generic CSV/XLS, plus marketplace-shaped templates that match required columns and value formats for direct upload.
Price Insights & Monitoring
Configure recurring price checks across marketplaces. Detected drifts and anomalies feed into Monitor → Price.- Inputs — catalogue, target SKUs, source marketplaces, cadence, alert rules.
- Outputs — price history time series, drift alerts, pricing dashboards.
Bulk Enrichment
Fill missing or incomplete attributes at scale. The most-used operation in most workflows.- Inputs — catalogue or filter, target attribute(s), source (web search, model generation, supplier lookup, another catalogue, Knowledge Base), prompt and grounding, confidence thresholds.
- Outputs — proposed values per record with confidence and citations. Auto-applied above threshold; queued in Notifications below.
- Tips — start narrow (one attribute, 100 records), tune the prompt and threshold, then expand.
Analyse
The data-quality report described in Modules → Analyse.- Inputs — catalogue or filter.
- Outputs — per-field scores, distribution stats, critical issues with one-click follow-on operations, overall Data Quality Score.
- Side effects — none. Analyse never modifies records.
Data Source Mapping
Match the rows in an uploaded file (or any new Data Source) to existing records using text similarity scoring before merging.- Inputs — Data Source, target catalogue, fields to drive matching, threshold.
- Outputs — a mapping draft: matched, unmatched, ambiguous. Review before merging.
- Use — first stage of every onboarding pipeline; keeps duplicates out of the catalogue.
Push & Sync (Beta)
Push records to Shopify or Amazon. Maps catalogue attributes to platform fields per a configurable schema.- Inputs — catalogue or filter, target connector, mapping, conflict policy.
- Outputs — a run with success/failure counts and per-record errors. Errors include the platform-side response.
Enrich Images (Beta)
Generate or repair images with metadata.- Inputs — catalogue or filter, image attribute, target metadata (alt text, subject tags, dimensions, format).
- Outputs — alt text, structured tags, normalized image variants, with confidence per generated value.
SEO Report (Beta)
Score listings on SEO health and produce per-field optimization suggestions.- Inputs — catalogue or filter, target attributes (title, description, meta, alt text), keyword sources.
- Outputs — per-record SEO score, per-field recommendations, opportunity list.
Find Duplicates (Beta)
Identify duplicate records using AI matching; produce merge proposals.- Inputs — catalogue, fields to weight, similarity threshold.
- Outputs — clusters of likely duplicates with per-pair confidence; merge proposals you can approve in bulk via Similarity & Duplicate.
Find Similarities (Beta)
Group similar records into clusters; useful for variant grouping and supplier match.- Inputs — catalogue, fields to weight, threshold.
- Outputs — clusters with intra-cluster similarity scores and visualizations.
Validate Data (Beta)
Run schema, format, and rule checks against records.- Inputs — catalogue or filter, ruleset (built-in plus custom rules).
- Outputs — an issue list with severity, attribute, and a suggested fix where applicable.
Normalize Data (Beta)
Standardize formats — units, currencies, dates, casing, language — across selected fields.- Inputs — catalogue or filter, target fields, normalization rules (currency target, unit system, date format, casing).
- Outputs — proposed normalized values with provenance back to the original.
Generate Taxonomy (Beta)
Propose a hierarchical taxonomy from your records. Output goes to the Taxonomy surface for curation and versioning.- Inputs — catalogue, fields used for clustering, target depth, optional seed taxonomy.
- Outputs — a draft taxonomy with proposed assignments per record. Curate, then publish a version.
Confidence, review, and rollback
Three settings govern how aggressive each operation is:| Setting | Effect |
|---|---|
| Auto-apply threshold | Confidence above which a write happens without review. |
| Review threshold | Below auto-apply but above this — queues for review. |
| Reject threshold | Below this — discarded with a logged reason. |
