12-hour updates and Autopilot

Scheduled data refresh and automated changes are different. Turning Autopilot off keeps data updates running while preventing new automated changes.

Your next steps

  1. Keep your connections current

    Every 12 hours, eligible enabled stores enter their scheduled refresh. Connected-source data and product analysis are updated, followed by eligible feed work.

  2. Choose automation permissions

    Use Autopilot to review the available actions, provider accounts, campaign scope and limits. Connecting an account does not grant automation authority.

  3. Review each cycle in Activity

    Inspect refreshed sources, saved Autopilot disposition, proposals, confirmed actions and any credits supported by the saved evidence.

What happens every 12 hours

The interval is a schedule, not a guarantee that all provider data becomes available at the same moment.

  • Available Shopify and connected advertising information is refreshed.
  • Product analysis is materialized from the completed source evidence.
  • Eligible connected catalog feeds are updated after required Shopify data is ready.
  • A scheduled Autopilot evaluation may run according to its saved settings and available evidence.
  • Provider delays, incomplete imports, expired access or operational-access limits can leave a stage waiting or incomplete.

What Autopilot does and does not mean

The scheduled review uses checks; a history entry does not by itself mean a paid AI scan ran.

  • Off: data refresh continues, but new automated mutations are prevented.
  • Enabled: only supported actions within current permissions and limits can proceed.
  • Incomplete evaluation does not mean all campaigns were checked.
  • No-change cycles should explain that nothing changed.
  • Campaign creation and launch remain separate controlled actions; broad chat requests do not authorize them.

SEO runs on its own schedule

Organic Performance has separate search-data availability, weekly SEO preparation and publication permissions. It is not a full SEO rewrite every 12 hours.

  • Advertising permissions do not permit Shopify SEO edits.
  • SEO review and automatic publication settings are separate.
  • Use Activity to distinguish a store refresh, advertising evaluation and SEO batch.

Common questions

Does every refresh consume AI credits?

No. A scheduled refresh or rules-based check is not proof of paid AI work. Activity distinguishes model work and credits when the saved evidence is available.

Why is completion later than the due time?

The due time starts scheduled work. Imports, provider delays and recovery can make completion later. Check individual stages in Activity.
