How scheduling works in Everlyst

Scheduling lets you queue an operation now and have Everlyst run it later - useful for seasonal launches, time-zone coordination, and not having to be at your computer at 6am on Black Friday.

What you can schedule

• Bulk edits (any fields your plan allows)
• Listing activations and deactivations (e.g. activate a holiday collection at midnight)
• CSV uploads (queue tonight’s bulk creation to fire tomorrow morning)
• Backup & Restore operations (rare but supported)

How to schedule a job

1. Build the operation as you normally would (bulk edit, CSV upload, etc.).
2. On the confirmation screen, instead of clicking Apply now, click Schedule for later.
3. Pick a date and time. Everlyst defaults to your account’s time zone - check the dropdown if you’re scheduling for a buyer-facing event in a different region.
4. Click Schedule.

The job appears in Schedule → Upcoming with a countdown.

What happens at the scheduled time

• Everlyst executes the job exactly as it would if you’d clicked Apply now when you scheduled it.
• The same validation runs - if Etsy rejects something, you get a per-row report and an email.
• A snapshot is taken before changes (Backup & Restore applies to scheduled jobs too).
• You get an email when the job completes.

What to watch for

• Catalog drift - if you scheduled a bulk edit and then made other changes to those listings between scheduling and execution, the scheduled job operates on the latest state. Double-check the diff preview before scheduling.
• Etsy outages - if Etsy’s API is down at the scheduled time, Everlyst retries for up to 30 minutes. After that, the job is marked failed and you get an email.
• Time zones - always confirm the time zone shown in the scheduler. Etsy displays times in your shop’s time zone; Everlyst uses your account’s time zone.

Cancelling a scheduled job

Open Schedule → Upcoming, find the job, click Cancel. Cancellation is instant. No partial execution - either the whole job runs at the scheduled time or it doesn’t run at all.

Plan availability

Scheduling is a Pro-plan feature. Free, Basic, and Starter plans run jobs immediately on confirmation. See Plans, upgrades, and downgrades for plan details.
