Update Images with a Batch Job

This guide explains how to update product images using the Batch Job functionality in Afosto. All activated batch jobs for your account can be found under the lightning icon in the red top menu in Afosto.

Step-by-Step Guide

Navigate to the Batch Overview

• Log in at app.afosto.com
• Go to ‘Batches’
• Click the icon to open the batch overview
• You are now on the overview page of batch actions

Select the Correct Batch Job

• Go to the ‘Products’ tab in the batch jobs overview
• Scroll down until you see ‘Update Product Images’
• Click ‘Start’

Enter the Required Information

A screen will open where you need to:

• Enter a reference name (required field). This helps you recognize the batch job when managing multiple tasks. Use a clear and logical name.
• Choose whether you want to keep existing images or remove them.
• If you choose to keep existing images, the new images will be added to the current ones.
• Optionally, instead of using the built-in spreadsheet editor, you can upload a CSV file.

Click ‘Next’ to continue.

Enter the Data

A screen with columns will appear. Batch jobs in Afosto always use the EAN or SKU as the product reference.

• Enter the EAN or SKU in the first column.
• In the next column, paste the image URLs you want to update.
• Use a semicolon (;) as a separator if you are adding multiple image URLs for the same product.

The example below shows how the columns should be formatted when updating the images for the three specified EANs.
