Using Procedures

Generators -> Procedures add the next level of product data management automation. A Procedure combines Title Generators, Description Generators, Formulas, and other actions into a single operation.

• Common uses
• Create / Edit Procedure
• Conditions
• Actions
• Run Procedure

Common uses

A common use for Procedures is when a new product is created and multiple values need to be generated at once, for example:

• Title Generator "eBay Basic Title 1" for field "eBay title"
• Title Generator "Etsy Basic Title 1" for field "Etsy title"
• Description Generator "Basic Description" for field "Description"
• Formula "eBayPriceFull" for "eBay price" field

Combine all of the above in a single Procedure "New Product" and run it to generate all values together.

Other common uses:

• Updating prices on multiple channels
• Full website data update
• Seasonal product titles creation

Create / Edit Procedure

1. Go to Generators → Procedures
2. Click Add a procedure / edit an existing one
3. Enter a Title for the procedure
4. Click Add block to add a condition block
5. Click Add to add actions to the block
6. Click Save and Exit

Conditions

Conditions allow the Procedure to run different actions for different product types — all in a single run. For example:

• Different title templates for Rings and Earrings
• Different price Formulas for cheap and expensive items
• Different Amazon categories for Yellow Gold and Silver products

To add Conditions to a block:

1. Click Add condition
2. Select the Product field and the matching value (e.g. Type → Necklace)
3. Repeat to add more conditions as needed
4. For multiple conditions, set the match logic:
   • All conditions — actions apply if the product meets every condition
   • Any condition — actions apply if the product meets at least one condition

Matching operators: = / ≠ — fully match value or not    ∋ / ∌ — partially match value or not

Actions

After a condition is matched, the procedure runs the chosen action. Click Add to select an action type:

Title Generator — Generates a title using a selected Title Generator template and writes it to the specified destination field.

Description Generator — Generates text using a selected Description Generator template and writes it to the specified destination field.

AI Prompt — Runs an AI Prompt and writes the result to the specified destination field.

Formula — Calculates a value using a selected Formula. Use Price Improvements to round up the result to the nearest whole number.

Copy Data (Set New) — Copies data to a field without overwriting existing values.

Copy Data (Replace) — Copies data to a field, replacing existing values.

Copy Data (Between Fields) — Transfers data between two different product fields.

Procedure — Runs another Procedure as a sub-procedure. Maximum nesting depth is 2 levels. If exceeded, Valigara returns: "Procedure XXX not applied - max nesting level reached." Duplicate procedures are not applied.
