As titled, using pabbly + google sheets to import new products

Can we have RANDOM delays by the SECOND? Instead of just 1+ MINUTES?

I have 1000+ products, some with variations on google sheets

My work flow is read the sheet
delay 1 min
create product
delay 1 min
route variation
create variation 1
create variation 2
FAIL

I can probably add another delay between var 1 and 2, but i'll have to execute each line from sheets with manual delays! is there a current work around? or my request of RANDOM delay by SECONDS would probably be a "easy" solution.

PS, i pasted a bunch of ready to go data into the sheets and set to "Send on Event" checkmark.... it didn't execute until I "Send Custom Data" and pick the range... that's my workaround...

The minimum delay you can have is for 1 minute. Further setting random delay is not possible as per your use case. In the near future, if we support or launch any option around this, we will surely let you know.

Any ETA?

I have 1000+ products to upload within this week and was hoping pabbly automation can help.

With these limits I'll have to submit these line by line manually... =(

Shopify is a major mainstream product and new product upload is a common recurring use case, is there seriously no support or consideration until now?

@Neeraj Getting stuck trying to implement your suggestion.

Can't find a "counter" app/action in the list, is this part of the iteration app? Still confused after watching the youtube tutorial. Is there a tutorial similar to my use case i can follow?

@Pabbly @Neeraj still couldn't figure out how to setup "counter" yet, so just using straight plain "add product" to shopify from my database, without "fancy" product variations. STILL getting the same error from too many request.

The implementation of shopify api in pabbly is flawed by running too many request at once, this shouldn't count as user error anymore. Please work on a fix.
