Add and Remove “New Arrival” Tag on Shopify Products After 30 Days

When a product is created in Shopify (manually or through imports), this trigger activates the workflow and captures product details including {{shopify.id}} and all product properties. The workflow runs for every new product added to your store.

This step adds a tag to the newly created product using {{shopify.id}} as the product identifier.

Configuration: You specify the tag to add during setup—the default is "New Arrival" but you can customize it to match your store's naming conventions (like "New," "Just In," "Latest," etc.). The tag is case-sensitive and must be entered exactly as you want it displayed.

Important: You'll need to enter this same tag again in step 4 for removal, so the template recommends copying the tag before proceeding to ensure exact matching.

This step retrieves the full product record from Shopify using {{shopify.id}}. It returns updated product information as {{shopify_2}} including the tag that was just added. This ensures the workflow maintains accurate product data throughout the 30-day delay, even if the product undergoes other changes during that time.

This delay step pauses workflow execution for 30 days before proceeding to remove the tag.

Customization: The duration is configurable—you can adjust to 14 days for faster turnover, 60 days for longer new arrival periods, or any duration that matches your merchandising strategy. The amount field accepts any number and the unit can be changed from "days" to "hours," "weeks," or "months."

Note: The "bypass" parameter is set to false, meaning the delay applies even in test mode (set to true if you want to skip delays during testing to see the complete workflow faster).

This step removes the tag from the product using {{shopify_2.id}} as the product identifier.

Configuration: You must enter the exact same tag that was added in step 2. The template defaults to "New Arrival" and the configuration screen emphasizes that this must match the add step exactly (case-sensitive). If the tags don't match, removal will fail.

After this step, the product no longer appears in smart collections or filters based on the new arrival tag, but remains in your catalog with all other tags intact.
