Automated Elastic Path Catalog Readiness Checks
Every Monday, WebRun opens Elastic Path, checks every product added or edited that week for a price, an image, and a description, emails the merchandising owner a fix list, and logs each open gap in Airtable until it's cleared.
How do I make sure new products are launch ready before they go live?
WebRun checks Elastic Path every Monday for products added or edited that week that are missing a price, an image, or a description, the details that usually block a launch. It emails the merchandising owner a fix list and logs every open gap in Airtable, clearing each row automatically once the product is complete.
- Incomplete products get caught before launch, not after
- Merchandising gets a fix list every Monday instead of hunting for gaps
- Airtable shows exactly how long each gap has been open

Questions, answered
Will it publish products on its own?
No. WebRun only flags what's missing and emails the fix list. Publishing stays a manual call inside Elastic Path.
How does it decide a product is incomplete?
It checks every product added or edited that week for a price, at least one image, and a description, the three fields that most often block a launch.
What happens once a gap is fixed?
WebRun rechecks flagged products on the next run and moves anything now complete into the Airtable Closed view automatically.
