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. |
