You can set a schedule for SEMA Data imports using the Import Schedule tab of the SEMA Data integration page.
X-Cart's SEMA Data integration supports two types of imports to update catalog data imported from SEMA Data:
Import of prices;
Import of catalog data (This includes all types of data whose import is enabled according to the settings in the Import Options section.)
Since it is recommended that prices be imported more frequently than the rest of the catalog data, the settings on the Import Schedule tab allow you to configure separate schedules for price imports and catalog data imports.
Let us take a closer look at the settings.
Update price: This setting applies to price imports. The following options are available:
Disabled: Import of prices separately from catalog data will not be performed.
Hourly: Prices will be imported every hour. If this option is selected, you will need to set the starting time for price imports.
Daily: Prices will be imported every 24 hours. If this option is selected, you will need to set the starting time for price imports.
Catalog import schedule: This is the general setting to adjust the catalog import schedule for SEMA Data.
Set the switch to the "ON" position if you intend to have the brand's catalog data imported automatically.
This will expand an additional section where you will be able to configure your preferred import schedule for the brand.
Here you can set the date and time when the import should be performed. If you want catalog data for the brand imported periodically, also select the "Repeat every" box option. This will allow you to set the schedule.
For example, setting the import schedule like in the screenshot above will result in catalog data imports performed every day (once every 24 hours) starting on April 19, 2024 at 06:00 (UTC+0:00) UTC. The imports will continue infinitely on this schedule until you choose to change the schedule settings.
If you do not wish to use automated import and wish to be able to start the import process manually, keep the "Import schedule" switch in the "OFF" position.
After making any changes to the brand import settings, be sure to save your changes using the Save changes button at the bottom of the screen.
