Bulk Run Automation: A Faster Way to Update Existing Orders at Scale

Automation helps streamline workflows, reduce manual updates, and keep data consistent. But what happens when you create a new automation rule and realize hundreds or even thousands of existing orders should follow that rule too?

Until now, you would either update those orders one by one or wait for new orders to flow through the rule.

Bulk Run Automation solves that challenge.

This new feature lets you instantly apply any automation rule to historical orders in just a few clicks. There is no need to recreate logic, wait for new events, or manually edit orders. Simply select the orders you want to update, run the rule, and let Warehance handle the rest.

Why We Built It

As operations grow, workflows evolve and new business logic is introduced. When that happens, legacy orders often fall out of alignment with newer processes.

Teams needed a quick and reliable way to:

  • Fix missing or outdated information
  • Apply new tags or processing requirements
  • Trigger actions that should have already happened
  • Clean up large batches of historical orders after configuration changes

Bulk Run Automation provides an efficient solution to all of these scenarios.

How It Works

Using Bulk Run Automation is simple:

Create or update the automation rule you want to use

Filter or select the orders that need updating

Run the automation in bulk

Review and continue processing as usual

There is no waiting and no repetitive work. Just select and apply.

When This Feature Helps Most

Bulk Run Automation is especially helpful for tasks such as:

  • Applying tags or order notes to categorize orders
  • Updating statuses and priorities to match current workflows
  • Assigning batches for picking sessions
  • Correcting or enriching data after new integrations are connected
  • Triggering workflows based on updated conditions

Whether onboarding a new store, refining fulfillment logic, or cleaning data after system changes, this feature puts you back in control quickly.

The Result: Faster Cleanup and More Consistency

Bulk Run Automation ensures every order follows the same logic, whether it is new or months old.

This leads to:

  • Less manual work
  • Fewer errors
  • Faster alignment across systems
  • A workflow that scales as your operation grows

Your warehouse becomes more efficient, more automated, and more aligned with the processes you have today instead of the ones you started with.

Try It Now

Bulk Run Automation is now available in Warehance. If you work with large order volumes or frequently update automation logic, this tool can significantly reduce manual effort and accelerate cleanup.
