Hello everyone, I'm trying to create and update products in Big Com using a trigger as an Excel sheet. However, I need only a specific date so my Zap runs with all the data from the Excel sheet at the same time.
I’m confused about which tool I use for that and How?

Hey folks! 👋
Just popping by with a quick update to share that the scheduled transfers function will be deprecated on January 15, 2024. Any existing scheduled transfers will continue to run up until that point, but as of today, it will no longer be possible to create new scheduled transfers.
Can I double check that you’re using Google Sheets and not Excel? You’ve included Google Sheets as a tag and your screenshot shows Google Sheets so I think that’s what you’re using but I wanted to double check.
If you want to pass all of the information from a Google Sheet to Big Commerce at the same time, you can use a Transfer. A Zap runs each time something happens, for example when you add or update a row on a Google Sheet. With Transfer, you can move lots of data at the same time. You can either have a Transfer run once or you can run it on a schedule, for example once a week transfer will go through all of the data in the sheet.
I hope that's clear, please let us know if you have any questions!
If you’d like the Zap to run on a specific day of the week, Schedule is perfect for that. If Schedule is the trigger, you’ll need to add another step in the Zap to pull any relevant rows from Google Sheets that will be used in the rest of the Zap.
Looking at Transfer, you can use a it with a webhook step, ie use Google Sheets as the data sources and then add a Webhook step. If using schedule doesn’t work, you could create a Zap with a Catch Hook trigger and use the Google Sheet information to trigger that hook and send the relevant information to the rest of the Zap.
Would either of those options work for you? Let us know if not and we can keep brainstorming with you :)
