# Schedule Export

Use Schedule export to generate and upload product feeds automatically. This keeps your FactFinder index up-to-date without manual work. This feature behaves the same for NG and for Infinity.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Enable scheduled exports

Turn on **Enable** to activate automated exports.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Set the schedule

Choose a **Frequency**:

* **Daily** runs every day at the selected time.
* **Weekly** runs on the selected day at the selected time.

Set the **Execution Time** in `HH:MM` format. For weekly exports, choose a **Day of Week**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Select a timezone

Choose your business **Timezone**. The export runs at the selected local time.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
The scheduler uses a four-hour planning window. Set the first execution time at least four hours ahead.

For example, scheduled at 12:00 for 18:00, the export runs today. Scheduled at 15:00 for 18:00, the export runs tomorrow.
{% endhint %}

### Reliability and handling

* **Queue system** — Tasks are planned in advance and dispatched through a message queue using `DelayStamp`.
* **Automatic retries** — The background worker retries exports when the SFTP server is temporarily unavailable.
* **Collision prevention** — The scheduler uses `LastPlannedAt` to prevent duplicate exports within the same planning window.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.fact-finder.com/shopify-connector/shopify-app/schedule-export.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
