Scheduled product listing updates

Purpose

1.1. Automate updates to antique product listings across multiple sales channels based on scheduled timing, inventory changes, or seasonal adjustments.
1.2. Ensure antique listings display current prices, item statuses, descriptions, and featured items on a fixed timetable (daily, weekly, monthly).
1.3. Maintain compliance with platform listing standards, optimize keyword and photo positioning, and automatically retire expired or sold inventory from storefronts.
1.4. Centralize control over updates for marketplace accounts, point-of-sale systems, and e-commerce sites to minimize manual corrections and listing errors.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. Predefined schedule (cron-style, e.g., 2am every Monday).
2.2. Inventory threshold reached (stock updated in the POS or ERP system).
2.3. Product data updates in source spreadsheet/database (e.g., new item, revised description).
2.4. Upcoming holiday or event triggers theme-based listing shifts (e.g., for ‘Antique Christmas Ornaments’).
