Auto Import
The Auto Import tool allows you to automatically search for products by keyword at scheduled intervals and import any newly found products as WordPress posts or WooCommerce products.
Access: Go to Content Egg > Import Tools > Auto Import tab
Before starting, ensure your Import Presets are configured correctly and have the "Avoid Duplicates" option enabled to prevent re-importing the same products.
How It Works
Click "Add New Rule" Start by creating a new auto-import rule.
Set Rule Details
Rule Name – Name your rule for easy identification
Import Preset – Select how products will be imported
Module – Choose the product source (e.g., Amazon, Ebay)
Set Run Frequency Choose how often the rule should run: daily, weekly, etc.
Enable "Sort by Newest First" (optional) When enabled, the rule will prioritize newly released products.
Note:
Not all modules support sorting by newest. If unsupported, the default sort order will be applied.
In some cases, enabling this option may lead to less relevant search results.
Add Keywords Enter one keyword per line.
Each rule run will process one keyword at a time
Up to 10 products are processed per keyword per run
Avoid Duplicates Ensure your selected import preset has "Avoid Duplicates" enabled to skip already-imported products.
Start Rule Once saved, the rule will run based on your configured schedule.
Cron and Scheduling
The plugin uses WordPress's default WP-Cron system. No additional setup is required.
If you use real cron, make sure it runs every 5–15 minutes for timely execution.
All tasks will be added to the Import Queue first. You can monitor progress under the Queue tab.
Smart Rule Controls
Each module has a limited number of results per keyword. To avoid running idle jobs or importing outdated results, configure rule limits:
Stop after X days – Auto-pauses the rule after the selected number of days
Stop after importing X products – Stops the rule once the total import count is reached
Stop if no new products for X runs – Pauses the rule after consecutive empty runs
Disable keyword after no products for X runs – Disables a keyword after X runs without results
Disabled keywords will be marked in square brackets
[like this]and skipped in future runs
If a module returns an error 5 times in a row, the auto import rule will automatically pause to prevent further failures.
Tip for Getting More Products
When using "Sort by Newest First" with supported modules, you can automatically capture newly released products as they become available on the source site.
In some cases, enabling this option may lead to less relevant search results.
