Products without images

With one click on the product list, this agent counts the products that have no image and lists the 50 that changed most recently, so you know what to complete first.

What you get​

With up to 500 products and clusters the answer shows in the dialog straight away: the number of products without an image and a list of up to 50 with SKU and name. When every product has an image, the agent says so.

The AI Agents dialog on the Products and clusters page with the result of the scan: all 81 products have images

With more than 500 products and clusters the agent answers that the scan has started. The result then comes as an action in the Action Hub, assigned to you. It gives the number of products without an image and the same list of 50.

The scan looks at every product, also the products in a cluster: each one is checked on its own images.

What you need​

  • An n8n account with the credential Propeller API key. See Set up n8n.
  • An API key with Viewer access on Product Data and Owner access on User management. Owner access on User management is what lets the workflow create the action for a large catalogue.
  • Backoffice access and the Configuration role with Owner access, to register the agent.

How it works​

The workflow first counts your products. A small catalogue is checked while you wait. A larger one takes longer than Propeller waits for an answer, so the workflow answers first and goes through the catalogue in the background, 500 products and clusters at a time.

Good to know

The workflows and agents in the Agent Hub are free to use and adapt. They are examples, not supported product features. Test them in a test environment and check the results before you use them on real customers.

Install it​

Install a workflow from the library explains each step.

  1. Import the file into n8n.
  2. Check that the four nodes that talk to Propeller use the credential Propeller API key.
  3. Follow Register the agent in Propeller with the values below.
  4. Go to PIM > Products & Clusters, click Workflows and click the agent.

You see either the list or the message that the scan has started. In the second case, look in the Action Hub under Mine after a while. When every product has an image, the agent says so.

Limits​

  • A scan checks at most 200,000 products and clusters. The action says so when that limit is reached or when part of the products could not be read.
  • A higher ANSWER_PAGES shows a larger catalogue in the dialog, but Propeller only waits 30 seconds for an answer by default.
  • n8n stops a scan after one hour.
