Support » Plugin: Facebook for WooCommerce » Query regarding filters and product options

    Hello team

    I have multiple queries regarding the plugin and would be glad if you can answer them.

    1.) By default how frequently does the plugin syncs the catalogue with facebook?

    2.) I have a website with 10000 products which do not change frequently. Currently I am getting lot of failed tasks in action scheduler because it seems facebook is not able to complete the process. Is it possible that I can sync the products only once every 7-10 days? If yes how can I do that?

    3.) In the changelog I found below option but could not find in settings. Please confirm where is this option.

    New – Option to allow larger sites to opt-out of feed generation (product sync) job

    4.) Same question about this option as well

    Fix – Reduce default feed generation (product sync) interval to once per day to reduce overhead

    5.) What does this option do?

    Dev: Add facebook_for_woocommerce_allow_full_batch_api_sync filter to allow opt-out full batch API sync, to avoid possible performance issues on large sites

    6.) Is there some knowledgebase where all filters available in the plugin are mentioned?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey @sanchitgoyal,

    1.) By default how frequently does the plugin syncs the catalogue with facebook?

    Currently, if you take a look at the **Tools > Scheduled Actions** page, you should see wc_facebook_regenerate_feed scheduled to occur every 24 hours.

    2.) I have a website with 10000 products which do not change frequently. Currently I am getting lot of failed tasks in action scheduler because it seems facebook is not able to complete the process. Is it possible that I can sync the products only once every 7-10 days? If yes how can I do that?

    You can adjust the timing but our team isn’t able to help with customizations like that. However, I’d suggest taking a look at the scheduled action mentioned above, and seeing if you can modify the schedule to meet your needs.

    3.) In the changelog I found below option but could not find in settings. Please confirm where is this option.

    Not currently, no. Though, most of the developer-level docs are listed here:

    How is this option different from the one in the settings?

    2.) There is a cron “facebook_for_woocommerce_hourly_heartbeat_cron” running every hour. Please confirm what does it do?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey @sanchitgoyal,

    How is this option different from the one in the settings?

    The option in your screenshot is specific to whether products should have the option to be synced, whereas the “Option to allow larger sites to opt-out of feed generation (product sync) job” provides the option to disable the feed generation entirely. The devs considered adding a checkbox for that in the UI, but opted to make it a hidden feature instead. If you take a look at this pull request, you can see a bit more info about that hidden option (and what the UI checkbox would have looked like, if it was added).

    There is a cron “facebook_for_woocommerce_hourly_heartbeat_cron” running every hour. Please confirm what does it do?

    That hourly ‘heartbeat’ cron job is what schedules the feed generation task.
