You can now import the ".arigato" workflow file you downloaded into the app.

  3. Scroll to bottom and upload your file to import the workflow.

This automation is fired on-demand and transforms product tags into product metafields using a pre-defined format.

This workflow helps translate tags added by users or other third parties apps into product metafields that can be used for standardized processing, such as showing the metafield value on the product page or determining the section to load within the template. 

Before running the workflow, a format to identify the tag is required, such as any tags starting with the keyword 'location_'; this will then map the tag, removing the 'location_.' section from the keyword into a metafield value.
