Auto Sync is a powerful feature in the Bulk Product Sync plugin that allows you to send changes from Google Sheets to your store without manual operation. With Auto Sync enabled, every change you make inside your Google Sheet is automatically sent to your store, ensuring that your store always reflects the latest information without the need for manual operation.
To activate Auto Sync, you will need to follow these simple steps:
- Click on the “Extension” menu again and select “App Scripts”.
- This will open the Google Apps Script editor. Inside the Code.gs file, paste the code snippet provided in the plugin documentation. You can find the code snippet by copying this link: https://gist.github.com/nmedia82/d2ff84c258b2a82e1933fe9b02f56d57
- Save the changes.
- Now click on Triggers from the left menu of the scripts editor.
- Create a trigger by clicking “Add Trigger” from the right bottom of the page.
- It will open the trigger settings page where you need to set the following:
- Choose which function to run: AutoSync
- Choose which deployment should run: Head
- Select event source: Time Driven
- Select type of time-based trigger: Select as per your need
- Select hour interval: Select as per your need
- Failure notification settings: Set if you need otherwise

Important about Deleting Products
When you delete products from your sheet using the delete row(s) function, the products are not automatically deleted from your store. Instead, you will need to manually remove them from your store or set the "status" of the product to "trash". Once the status is set to "trash", the product will be sent to the trash in your store. It is important to keep this in mind to avoid any confusion or unexpected behavior when managing your product data.
