New version of Mergado

Release date and time

Wednesday 10 July 2024 12:30

News

• Users can now give us feedback directly when creating a new project. You can upload a video or even take a screenshot.
• In rules and queries, you can use indexing for Element-Path and MQL. Entry is done with #. For example: PARAM { NAME = "Color" } #{ 2 }. In a previous version of Mergado, this would correspond to the PARAM|Color|2 notation. You can use indexing, for example, to select products with multiple identical parameters or to merge identical parameters into one. For these purposes, you cannot use @@position, which cannot target different positions.
• We have added a Set shipping rates rule for all language versions of a given format that has predefined carriers. The condition is that the Mergado XML | DELIVERY element must be mapped.
• Users who have Verified by Customers (from Heureka) will correctly get an error about missing certificate after statistics processing if they don’t have it.
• :bug. It was also displayed for clients from other countries.
• And other minor fixes and improvements.

Platform

• We fixed a bug where the vendor profile page (third-party developer) might not display correctly.

You may experience minor Mergado outages at the time indicated. Thank you for your understanding and patience as we deploy the new version.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Release date and time

News

• We added a new section to the Regeneration page in the project settings that allows you to run rules only on tracked products.
• In Keychain, we’ve addressed a situation where disconnecting or connecting one Google service to a given online store could disconnect other connections of the same Google account with other online stores in Mergado.
• we added the name of the online store and a link to the online store itself to the email informing about the tariff increase.
• We modified the behavior of generating ITEMGROUP_ID when splitting variants into Shoptet format. Now the value has a maximum of 36 characters and the allowed characters match the reg expression [0-9a-zA-Z_-].
• When converting data from Mergado XML to Kaufland Marketplace - Inventory CSV [PL] and Kaufland Marketplace - Inventory XML [PL] format, the value PLN is added to the currency element.
• We are also continuing to spend time optimizing and speeding up the process of importing the input feed and applying rules.
• On the Rules page, you can now filter by an element even if its name contains a colon, spaces or hyphen.
• When running an automation (previously a macro) containing a non-existent element-path (element-path) in a project, the correct error message is now displayed instead of the generic HTTP 500 error. We also fixed the behavior of checkboxes when running automation.
• In In queries, we fixed cases where the operator for the element value length did not work correctly with values that contained multiple lines (with the newline now counting as 2 characters).

Platform

• Endpoint https://api.mergado.com/projects/{id}/ now returns field in_testing_mode.
• For Safari browsers, we have enabled allow-modals in the IFRAME viewport of the app, i.e. Safari browsers should now be able to create modal windows inside the IFRAME app.

You may experience some minor Mergado outages at the time indicated. Thank you for your understanding and patience as we deploy the new version.

News

• We have made several new features available to users on the project settings page:
  1. The project can now be moved under another online store.
  2. The project can now be duplicated under the same or different online store.
  3. A project can now be generated with a new output URL (automatically composed of the online store name, project and a random security string).

  This is a destructive and irreversible operation, after which after the next export of the output feed the output file will be at the new URL and the file at the old URL will no longer be available. So you need to take this into account and adjust the settings of any downstream services that work with this output URL.

• We are deploying a brand new component to automatically detect the input feed format within the [create new project] wizard(Login - Accounts).
• The Data file import rule has received further optimizations. This is made possible by the fact that in the vast majority of cases, pairing (how to determine which row in a data CSV should modify which product in Mergado) is done by input values of elements.
  • In some cases, if you really need to pair by output values, this can be redefined in the rule settings.
• The option unlocks the user re-generation scheduler settings. You can now set up to 5 clock slots with a minimum of 3 hours apart.
• When editing a rule of type Remove parameter values, the form threw an error if the user tried to delete one whole line in the rule settings via the icon.
• For rule type Set shipping rates, we also improved the rule form - it now doesn’t show the button to delete rows when there are zero rows, it doesn’t show the checkbox for COD price for formats that don’t support it, and we also fixed some messages.
• when creating new elements on the Elements page, you can now create an element whose name starts with an underscore.
• And other small things and improvements.

Platform

• Fixed the endpoint https://api.mergado.com/users/{user_id}/formats/{format_id}

New version of Mergado

Release date and time

Wednesday 28 August 2024 12:30

News

• We’ve spent time and space exploring other possibilities for optimizing the application of rules, which - without unnecessary technical details - has once again borne fruit.
• Loading element values for whispering (e.g. in the queries form on the Products page or in some input fields for some rule types) should now be generally faster.
• On the Products page, we have handled situations where if the user used indexing when entering “custom MQL”, e.g. PARAM { NAME = "Color" } #{ 2 }, the indexing information was lost when switching to the simple interface.
  • In this case, it is now not possible to switch to simple view (simple interface does not support indexing settings for now).
• On the Products page, we have fixed some inconsistent data display when working with product variants (resolved via rule Merge Variants.
• UI: We have unified the fonts in some form input fields.
• UI: The display of items in selectboxes with many items should now be more crisp.
• And lots of other little things.

News

• We’ve been working on optimizing the re-generation of your projects again. This time we have sped up the evaluation of MQL , queries in preparation before applying rules.
• For projects with the output format Google Sheets, the name of the output CSV (which is uploaded to Google Sheets) will now be named after the "output file name " (as with other formats) and no longer the name of the online store and project. This used to cause problems after renaming the online store or project in Mergado (uploading a CSV with a different name).
  • This only applies to projects created after 12/9/2024.
• We fixed a bug where changing the name of an element did not reflect its usage in saved rules and queries if it was used with indexing (e.g. PARAM { NAME = "Color" } #{ 2 }).
• We’ve improved the UI and functioning of the components for importing queries and rules.
• And other minor improvements and fixes.

Platform

• It is now possible to set the is_dirty flag on products, which tells Mergado that rules should be applied to the product on the next re-generation even if it was unchanged on the last import.
  • Supported endpoints:
    • https://api.mergado.com/products/<id>
      • A PATCH with {"is_dirty": true} sets this flag to the given product.
    • https://api.mergado.com/queries/<id>/products/
      • A PATCH with {"is_dirty": true} sets this flag to all products of the query.
• user entities returning from the API have new phone, invocing_validity_date, avatars fields.
• Endpoint https://api.mergado.com/users/ is now accessible with offline token:
  • Offline token apps bound to online store
    • Returns all users who have access to the online store.
  • Offline token apps bound to projects
    • All users who have access to the project’s online store will be returned.
  • Offline token apps bound to users
    • Returns the user for whom the app is enabled.

News

• The Data file import rule optimization, which we recently tested on a fraction of projects, is now enabled for all projects.
• This release ends the period of automatic conversion of projects to Mergado 2, as all projects have been successfully converted to the new version.
• We fixed a bug in evaluation of MQL queries with the IN operator used, which could occur in a specific case if elements were used in a condition that were not present in some products.
• We have added the ability to filter input/output queries in the queries import interface.
• We’ve modified the way product counts are calculated and displayed when applying rules that target selections to output, so that the final output correctly reflects the number of products to which the rule was actually applied.
• In the list of selections on the Products page, the number of products for a selection could be displayed as NaN. This has been corrected.
• We added icons and logos for some additional external services.
• And other minor improvements and fixes.

You may experience minor Mergado outages at the times indicated. Thank you for your understanding and patience as we deploy the new version.

Platform

  • or via a POST request with JSON payload, i.e. send a POST JSON {'mql': 'GIFT = 123'} to https://api.mergado.com/projects/<id>/products/.
