Create Task

After clicking on the "Create tasks" button, a “Tasks creation” modal window will appear.

Please be aware that upon clicking the "Create tasks" button, we'll validate your OpenAI API key's authenticity and the availability of tokens needed for content generation. If your OpenAI API key lacks sufficient tokens for content generation, you won't be able to access the "Tasks creation" modal window.

To create a content generation task, you need to choose the essential components: Select the products for which you want content to be generated and specify the type of content you wish to create. Once you've made these selections, simply click the "Create tasks" button to create content generation tasks.

Tasks Statuses

Content generation tasks have 4 different statuses.

Scheduled - tasks that are queued for execution.

In Progress - tasks that are currently being executed.

Completed - tasks that have already been completed.

Failed - tasks with errors.

Tasks progress through statuses automatically. When tasks reach the "Complete" status, it's time to review the generated content, make adjustments as required, and apply changes to your store. To begin reviewing the content, simply click on the icon marked by a pulsing green light on the completed task card.

Applying Generated Product Data

When you begin reviewing and applying the generated content, you'll come across the "Apply generated product fields" modal.

Apply Generated Product Fields

In the "Apply generated product fields" modal, you should review all the generated content. If you find the generated content unsatisfactory for any reason, you can easily make your own edits for each field.

Following the content review, proceed by shifting the products that should be updated to the right side of the modal window.

Choose the products for updating from those moved to the right side of the modal window. Simply click the checkbox in each product's row.

Make sure to read notification at the bottom of the modal window and finalise the process by clicking the "Accept" button.

Fields Transfer

Once you've made your selections, click the "Apply" button.

Please be aware that updating products is irreversible and cannot be undone. Also, keep in mind that if you don't select certain products for updating, any generated content for those products will be lost.
