AI Workflows can be paused and edited at any time.
This allows teams to:
improve prompts
adjust workflow logic
change targeting rules
fix issues
optimize automation pipelines
safely manage large scale AI operations
Workflows are designed to be flexible and continuously adjustable.
Why pause a workflow?
Pausing a workflow temporarily stops automation activity.
This is useful when:
reviewing generated output
updating prompts
changing business logic
troubleshooting issues
preventing further processing
managing moderation queues
Paused workflows can later be resumed.
What happens when a workflow is paused?
When a workflow is paused:
new products stop entering the workflow
automatic execution stops
continuous monitoring stops temporarily
active processing may halt depending on the execution state
Existing results and workflow configurations remain unchanged.
How to pause a workflow
To pause a workflow:
Open the workflow overview
Open the workflow
Locate the workflow controls
Click Pause workflow
The workflow status will update to Paused.
Resuming a workflow
Paused workflows can be resumed at any time.
To resume a workflow:
Open the workflow
Click Resume workflow
The workflow will continue processing products according to the configured trigger rules.
For continuous workflows:
catalog monitoring resumes automatically
Editing workflows
Workflows can be edited after creation.
You can modify:
trigger rules
action configuration
prompts
moderation settings
workflow scope
AI models
selected attributes
translation instructions
This makes workflows adaptable as catalog requirements evolve.
Editing trigger rules
Trigger rules determine which products enter the workflow.
You may want to edit rules when:
expanding workflow scope
narrowing product selection
targeting new categories
excluding certain products
improving automation accuracy
Example:
Original rule:
Category equals Shoes
Updated rule:
Category equals Running Shoes
ANDBrand equals Nike
This creates more targeted processing.
Editing workflow actions
Workflow actions can also be updated.
Examples:
improving prompts
changing generated fields
updating AI models
adjusting moderation requirements
changing translation instructions
This allows continuous optimization of AI output quality.
Updating prompts
Prompts are one of the most commonly adjusted workflow settings.
You may update prompts to:
improve SEO quality
change tone of voice
improve extraction accuracy
optimize translations
enforce formatting rules
Prompt optimization is a normal part of workflow management.
Editing moderation settings
Moderation settings can be updated to improve quality control.
Examples:
adding moderators
changing approval requirements
reducing moderation for trusted workflows
increasing moderation for customer facing content
Different workflows may require different moderation strategies.
Editing running workflows
Workflows can sometimes be edited while active, but it is usually recommended to pause large workflows before making major changes.
This helps avoid:
inconsistent outputs
mixed prompt behavior
synchronization conflicts
moderation confusion
For major updates:
pause workflow
apply changes
test outputs
resume workflow
Retesting after edits
After making workflow changes, it is strongly recommended to:
run new tests
validate outputs
inspect reasoning
review confidence scores
before restarting large executions.
Common workflow optimization strategies
Narrowing workflow scope
If workflows process too many products:
add more conditions
use category filters
target specific suppliers
This improves output relevance and moderation efficiency.
Improving prompts
Weak prompts often create:
generic content
inconsistent formatting
low quality outputs
Refined prompts usually improve:
SEO quality
tone consistency
extraction reliability
translation accuracy
Splitting large workflows
Very large workflows may become difficult to manage.
Instead of one massive workflow, create focused workflows such as:
SEO workflow
translation workflow
supplier enrichment workflow
This improves maintainability and troubleshooting.
Troubleshooting workflows
Common reasons for editing workflows include:
incorrect AI outputs
low confidence scores
too many moderation tasks
synchronization failures
unexpected product targeting
Workflow adjustments help improve long term automation quality.
Example workflow optimization
Example:
A webshop notices that a workflow enriches too many unrelated products.
Original trigger:
Status equals Enabled
Updated trigger:
Category equals Pet Food
ANDDescription is Empty
The workflow now targets only relevant products, improving enrichment quality and reducing unnecessary AI processing.
Best practices for workflow management
Use clear workflow names
Good naming improves maintenance.
Examples:
German Translation Workflow
SEO Enrichment Pet Food
Supplier Attribute Extraction
Test after every major change
Always validate:
prompts
moderation behavior
generated outputs
synchronization flow
before large executions.
Monitor workflow results regularly
Even stable workflows should be reviewed periodically to:
improve prompts
refine rules
maintain quality standards
adapt to catalog changes
Pause before major restructuring
For major workflow changes:
pause first
edit safely
test outputs
resume afterward
This reduces operational risks.
Example workflow maintenance flow
Example:
A webshop updates its SEO strategy.
Workflow changes:
Pause SEO enrichment workflow
Update prompts with new SEO guidelines
Test on selected products
Review outputs
Resume workflow
Continue automated enrichment
This allows workflows to evolve with changing business requirements.
