Update product status

The Update product status action allows you to change the status of a product.

Triggers

This action has a hidden field added to it by the trigger or a previous step in the workflow. This field, Product ID, identifies the product. The product ID is set by default and can't be changed. As a result, the Update product status action can be used in workflows that have a Get product data action, or any triggers that contain a product or a variant, such as:

• Inventory quantity changed
• Product added to store

Example

In this example workflow, products are archived when all of their variants have sold out.

Known limitations

This action updates a product, which causes triggers that are related to product updates to fire. If you combine this action with triggers that fire when a product is updated, then the workflow runs forever in an infinite loop. Because of this, the Update product status action should not be combined with triggers that are related to product updates, such as Product status updated. You can avoid loops by adding conditions to the workflow. For example, if the workflow is archiving a product, then you can check if the product is already archived.
