Updates schedule and drop protection
Set the timezone and up to five daily update times per shop, get alerted when the product count drops, and keep serving the last correct feed on a bad import.
The schedule controls when IRONFEED fetches fresh product data for a shop. Open it from Shop Settings → Updates Schedule.

The app currently allows up to five update times per day per shop. Local file uploads have no schedule.
Drop protection
| Setting | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Alert me when product count drops by more than X % | Raises a *Product drop* alert (bell + email) when the number of imported products falls by more than X % compared with the previous import. X must be 1–100. | On, 50 % |
| Use last correct feed if the drop is above X % | If the drop exceeds X %, IRONFEED keeps serving the previously generated feed instead of publishing the reduced catalog. X must be 1–100. | Off |
Use both together: alert at 20 %, fall back at 50 %, for example. A fallback protects your campaigns from an empty export or a truncated file on the source side.
Missed schedules
If a scheduled update does not run on time you receive a Missed schedule alert (if enabled in Notifications). If the source cannot be downloaded or parsed you receive a Feed fetch failure alert and the last import error is shown in the shop.
Example
06:00 and 18:00 (America/New York), alerts on a 30 % drop and keeps the last correct feed when the drop exceeds 60 %.Ready to ship better feeds?
