Workflow Field Definitions

A comprehensive dictionary of product, pricing, and inventory attributes available for automation logic.

1. Event Triggers

Events define the specific change in the system that initiates a workflow.

  • Product [Field] Changed: Triggers when a value (Cost, MAP, MSRP, or Stock) is updated at the Master Product level.

  • Vendor SKU [Field] Changed: Triggers when a value is updated for a specific Vendor-linked SKU, before it is aggregated to the Master Product.

  • Add Product from Catalog: Triggers the moment a new product is imported into your Spark Shipping dashboard from a vendor catalog.

  • Order Imported: Triggers as soon as a new order is received from your integrated storefront.

2. Product & Identity Fields

These fields identify which items should be affected by the workflow.

  • Product SKU: The unique alphanumeric identifier for the master product.

  • Product Brand: The manufacturer or brand name assigned to the product.

  • Product Type: Defines the structural category of the item:

    • Simple: A standalone product.

    • Bundle: A product comprised of multiple SKUs.

    • Super Bundle: A complex bundle that includes other bundles.

  • Product Tags: Custom text labels used to group or categorize products.

3. Pricing & Cost Fields

Definitions for the various price points used in calculations.

  • Product Cost: The master cost of the item. This is defined as the Total Cost of the lowest-cost, in-stock Vendor SKU.

  • Product Suggested Price: The calculated price intended for your storefront (often derived from markups).

  • Product MSRP: The master Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price. This is defined as the highest available MSRP across all linked Vendor SKUs.

  • Product MAP Cost: The master Minimum Advertised Price. Similar to MSRP, this value is defined as the highest available MAP across all linked Vendor SKUs.

  • Product Bundle Cost: The cumulative cost of all components within a standard bundle.

  • Product Super Bundle Cost: The cumulative cost of all components within a super bundle.

4. Inventory & Custom Data

  • Product Total Stock: The total quantity available across all warehouses and vendors linked to a master SKU.

  • Product User Fields (1-10): Ten customizable data slots used to store unique information not covered by standard fields (e.g., bin locations, special shipping notes, or internal category IDs).
