Automatically update products based on a scheduled date using a custom metafield. This workflow runs daily, checks each product for a specific date metafield, and when that date matches today, it performs a series of updates—such as clearing the metafield, removing the product from one collection (like “Coming Soon”), and adding it to another (like “New Arrivals”).
