  1. Add a Condition:
    • Use conditions to group similar items. For example, if you're setting rules for Product Types, your goal should be to organize related products efficiently.
    • You can base conditions on any element, such as Product Title, Existing Product Type, Brand, or Size.
    • Specify the condition clearly. For example, if targeting products with "Wool" in the title, set the condition to Title > Contains > Wool.

  2. Set the Action:
    • Navigate to Action and choose Product Type Levels 1 to 5.
    • Specify the Product Type for the selected products. For instance, in this example, you might set Product Type to "Wool".
