How it works

Follow these 4 simple steps to remove product tags automatically on schedule

Schedule

App connector: Schedule • Time to complete: 2 minutes
Why this matters: This trigger runs the tag removal at exactly the right time—whether that's a specific date when a sale ends or a recurring schedule for regular cleanup—ensuring promotional tags don't linger after campaigns conclude.

This scheduled trigger can be configured to run either once at a specific date and time, or on a recurring schedule (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.). You configure the schedule during setup by selecting the frequency and timing that matches when you want tags removed.

For example, set it for a specific date like "December 31, 2025 at 11:59 PM" to remove sale tags when your holiday promotion ends, or set a recurring schedule like "First day of each month" to regularly clean up expired promotional tags. The trigger activates at your configured time and begins the tag removal process.

Get List of Collections' Products

App connector: Shopify • Time to complete: 3 minutes
Why this matters: Targets tag removal to only the products in your promotional collection, preventing accidental tag removal from unrelated products and ensuring surgical precision in your catalog management.

This step retrieves all products from a specific Shopify collection using the collection_id you provide during setup.

To find your collection ID, navigate to Products > Collections in your Shopify admin, click on the collection, and look at the URL in your browser's address bar—the number at the end (like "123456789012") is your collection ID.

The step fetches all products in that collection as an array stored in {{shopify}}, which the next step loops through. This approach lets you organize products into collections like "Summer Sale" or "Black Friday Deals" and remove promotional tags from those specific groups when campaigns end.

Loop

App connector: Loop • Time to complete: 0 minutes (Auto-configured)
Why this matters: Processes each product in the collection individually, ensuring every product gets its tag removed regardless of how many products are in your promotional collection.

This loop step iterates through the array of products returned from {{shopify}} in the previous step. For each product in the collection, the loop executes the tag removal step using {{loop.id}} as the product identifier. The loop continues until all products have been processed, handling collections of any size from a few products to hundreds or thousands.

Product Remove Tag

App connector: Shopify • Time to complete: 2 minutes
Why this matters: Removes the specific promotional tag from each product, cleaning up your catalog organization and ensuring expired promotional labels don't confuse customers or affect storefront filtering.

This step removes a specific tag from each product using {{loop.id}} as the product identifier. You configure which tag to remove during setup—enter the exact tag text (case-sensitive) that you want removed, such as "Summer Sale," "On Sale," "Black Friday," or "Limited Time."

The tag is removed from the product in Shopify, but all other tags remain unchanged. If a product doesn't have the specified tag, the step skips it without error. This runs for every product in the loop until all products in the collection have been processed.

Make it your own

Customize this workflow even further:

Add tags instead of removing them
Duplicate the workflow and change the "Product Remove Tag" step to "Product Add Tag" to automatically add promotional tags when campaigns begin, creating a complete tag management system for your promotional calendar.
Send completion notification
Add a Slack or email step after the loop ends to notify your team when tag removal completes, including the number of products processed and confirming the campaign cleanup finished successfully.
Remove multiple tags at once
Duplicate the "Product Remove Tag" step inside the loop to remove multiple tags in a single workflow run (like removing both "Sale" and "Featured" tags when a promotion ends).
Archive products after tag removal
Add a conditional check after tag removal that archives products if they have no remaining tags or match certain criteria, automatically cleaning up products from limited-time collections.

Frequently asked questions

What if I want to remove tags from my entire catalog instead of just one collection?
Replace the "Get List of Collections' Products" step with a "Get List of Products" step that retrieves all products in your store. Be cautious with this approach as it will attempt to remove the tag from every product in your catalog, which could take significant time for large stores.
Can I schedule this to run on a specific date and time only once?
Yes, when configuring the schedule trigger, select a one-time execution option and choose your specific date and time. The workflow will run once at that moment and then stop. This is perfect for ending specific promotional campaigns on exact dates.
What happens if a product in the collection doesn't have the tag I'm trying to remove?
The step will skip that product without error. Only products that actually have the specified tag will have it removed. This makes the workflow safe to run even if not all products in the collection have the tag.
What is a template?
Templates are pre-made workflows by our team of experts. Instead of building a workflow from scratch, these have all the steps needed to complete the task.
Can I personalize a template?
Yes! Every step can be customized to meet your exact requirements. Additionally, you can even add more steps and make it more sophisticated.
Are templates free?
Yes! Our entire library containing hundreds of templates are free to use and customize to your exact needs.
