How often are rules checked for live/continuous jobs?

Updated this week

In Elovate, live or continuous jobs โ€” such as Content Enrichment or Translations with continuous mode enabled โ€” automatically re-check their rules every 30 minutes.


How it works

  1. Rule evaluation
    Every 30 minutes, the jobโ€™s rule builder conditions are evaluated against your Magento data.

  2. New matches
    Any new entities (products, categories, CMS pages, etc.) that meet the conditions are automatically added to the job.

  3. No duplicates
    Entities already processed or approved in the job will not be re-added, preventing double work.


Example

If you have a continuous Content Enrichment job with the rule:

  • Description is empty

And you add 10 new products without descriptions:

  • Within 30 minutes, those products will appear in the job, ready for enrichment.


Best practice

  • Keep your rules specific โ€” broad rules can cause large and unexpected batches.

  • Combine conditions (e.g., status = enabled AND description is empty) to avoid unnecessary processing.
