How can we schedule the orders to be exported into FTP for every 1 hour in the big commerce? I can export it manually but i need something to run automatically to export the orders data to FTP.Is it possible in BigCommerce?
Thanks,
Manoj
You could write a script to pull orders from the API on an hourly interval (or even better, respond to orders as they come in by using webhooks). If you needed to retrieve the orders from a folder in WebDAV, you could also automate the browser with Selenium to do regular order exports.
At this time you are not able to schedule downloads from the FTP. You can write your own program to do that. We also offer webhooks where you can get order notifications in almost real time. This will also require custom coding and if you need assistance we have a list of partners who can help out.

Use Case: I would like to take tasks that are being run against my network automatically and export them into a Calendar for visualization. So a viewer could look at this 'calendar' and see what is effectively a diagram of jobs run against our servers, when they started, when they ended, etc. I need this to be automatable - so I can schedule a PowerShell or Python script to run once a day, retrieve the information, and upload into the calendar as 'events'.
Problem: I do not think Google Calendar provides support for this without a workspace account - which I don't have. Please correct me if I am wrong, but the workspace account seems to be required. Is there a better alternative? An 'open' calendar app that I can interact with using scripts?
I had a script created in Pinescript that I inserted into Tradingview. From a test that I can do inside Tradingview, I see that the script runs very well. Now, however, I find myself unable to link it with any Exchange (FTX and Binance do not take scripts already made in Pinescript) to run it and allow me to make purchases and sales automatically.
What do you recommend that I do?
Thank you very much!
I have data in a csv file & want to do the following with it:
Log into web site
Populate field of the page with the csv data
Navigate to next page
Input the rest of data
Click submit
Repeat for next line
I can do this using UiPath but it's an expensive option for a relatively simple use case.
Any one any suggestions on how do this using a different method?
Thanks,

If you're looking for alternatives then you probably would want to investigate APIs or Webhooks. But that all depends on the access rights you have for that particular website.
Try messaging the Developers of the website you need as they might have this service already available.
UiPath may appear expensive but if you calculate the amount of time saved for this one process then you will see the money savings too.
If you can find a couple of other processes you want to automate then I'd highly recommend it.
I'm trying to automate some process that requires downloading a custom report created from Shopify Admin daily. I tried resort to Shopify API to manually pull orders via the Order API, however, the process requires going through pagination which took several minutes to go through a few thousands of orders while it will only a few seconds to manually export the csv file from the Shopify Admin page.
So I'm just wondering if it's possible to implement a service that export those custom reports that were created in Shopify Admin into a csv file without human interaction?
Cheers!
Sure. Just write some Javascript to run in the admin that will do the custom report for you, without pushing all the buttons you'd push manually. You can fake being human that way and automate things. Once you have that straightened away, you could setup a service that would run that scripting automatically when you wanted, say on a schedule.
Of course, the old pokey way you pointed out is probably way easier, but as you say, it takes minutes and hey, who has minutes to spare!
I am not sure if it can solve your problem. I use a cloud data platform (not Shopify Apps) called Acho to retrieve data from Shopify and then export the report to Google Sheets automatically. Sometimes, I also create my own reports on the platform before exporting them to Google Sheets. I think it can somehow reduce lots of manual works. You can try its free trial if you are interested.
So I want to transfer information from a returned order from our website and I want to click a button and transfer some of that orders information (date it was received, order #, part#, quantity of # being returned.).
What's the fastest way to do this?
As of right now we are doing google docs spreadsheet to keep track of what is being returned and I am writing down every return manually.
Can we create a script or program that runs everytime this task is performed? It doesn’t seem like a big task but how do I do that?
You can check this API https://developers.google.com/sheets/ This allows for manipulation of data in the Google Excel sheets.
