Turn Shopify product metafield dates into automated actions.
Tags, status changes, reminders, and webhooks — no scripts, no Flow workarounds.
Launch dates. Expiry dates. Sale-end dates. They're sitting in your product metafields — but Shopify won't act on them automatically. You're stuck checking manually, writing scripts, or hacking together Flow workarounds.

Warn your team before a product expires, launches, or needs attention.
Automatically tag products for collections, filters, or internal tracking.

Everything you need to know about DateCue.
A metafield is a custom field you can add to any Shopify product. A date metafield stores a specific date — like a launch date, expiry date, or sale-end date. DateCue watches these dates and automatically triggers actions when they arrive.
No. DateCue is a fully no-code app. You set up workflows through a simple interface — pick a metafield, set a trigger, choose an action. No scripts, no Liquid, no developer needed.
DateCue supports four actions: add or remove a product tag, change product status (Active, Draft, Archived, or Unlisted), send a staff email alert, and fire a webhook to an external system. You can create multiple workflows for different metafields and different actions.
DateCue checks for due actions every minute, so your workflows run within a minute of the scheduled date and time.
DateCue automatically picks up the new date on the next sync and reschedules the action. The old scheduled action is cancelled and replaced with a new one based on the updated date.
DateCue is a standalone alternative to Flow for date-based automation. If you've been hacking together Flow workarounds to react to product dates, DateCue handles that natively — no triggers, conditions, or maintenance required.
Yes. Each workflow supports optional filters: you can limit it to products with a specific status, include only products with certain tags, or exclude products that have specific tags.
