Disable Inventory Tracking for Tagged Products Every Day

This step runs the workflow on a recurring schedule you define, such as daily at midnight or every Sunday morning. Click the schedule field and choose the frequency and time that works for your operations. There's no event in Shopify that kicks this off — it runs entirely on the timer you set, making it reliable even if products aren't being actively edited. Pick a time when store traffic is low to minimize any impact on other processes.

This step fetches up to 2,000 products from your Shopify store in a single request. It retrieves each product's details including its tags, variants, and inventory item references — everything the downstream steps need to identify matches and make updates. No configuration is required; the limit is already set to 2,000, which covers the majority of stores. If your catalog exceeds 2,000 products, reach out to confirm pagination handling for your setup.

This step loops through every product returned in Step 2 and checks whether its tags include the value you specify. Only products with a matching tag are passed forward — everything else is skipped entirely. In the field labeled "Specify the product tag MESA should look for," enter the exact tag you use to mark products for inventory tracking removal, for example no-inventory-tracking or digital-product. The match is case-sensitive, so make sure it matches exactly what's applied in Shopify.

This step runs a nested loop inside the first one, iterating through every variant belonging to each tagged product. For each variant it finds, it passes the variant's inventory item ID to the next step for lookup. No configuration is needed — it automatically picks up the variant list from the matching products identified in Step 3 and processes them one by one.

This step uses the inventory item ID from the current variant to fetch its full inventory settings from Shopify, including whether the tracked field is set to true or false. This data is what the filter in the next step evaluates before deciding whether to proceed. No configuration is needed — the inventory item ID is passed automatically from the variant loop.

This step checks the tracked field retrieved in Step 5 and only allows the workflow to continue if its value is true. Variants where tracking is already disabled are skipped, keeping the workflow efficient and avoiding redundant updates. No configuration is needed — the filter is already set up to check for the correct value.

This step updates the inventory item for the current variant, setting the tracked field to false. Once this runs, Shopify will no longer track stock for that variant — it won't show inventory counts, won't trigger low stock alerts, and won't block sales based on availability. This runs automatically for each variant that passed the filter in Step 6, and requires no configuration.
