FAQs

Questions about Amazon Seller Central + Actionist

How does Actionist connect to Amazon Seller Central?
Go to the Apps tab, find Amazon Seller Central, and click Connect. Actionist connects via Amazon's Selling Partner API (SP-API) using OAuth. An Amazon authorisation window opens — you grant Actionist access to your seller account, and the connection is established. Actionist requests only the SP-API roles it needs for the actions you configure (Orders, Inventory, Reports, Feeds, Messaging). Once connected, a read-only verification call confirms the handshake before any actions run.
Which Amazon marketplaces does Actionist support with Seller Central?
Actionist connects to all marketplaces accessible from your Seller Central account — US (amazon.com), UK (amazon.co.uk), EU marketplaces (DE, FR, IT, ES), and others. The SP-API is marketplace-aware, so you can configure agent actions to target a specific marketplace or loop across all marketplaces in your account. The connection is per selling account, so if you operate separate accounts for different regions, each needs its own connection.
Can the agent automatically fulfill orders from third-party sales channels through Amazon FBA?
Actionist can create FBA Multi-Channel Fulfillment shipments when orders arrive from other channels. When your external order management system receives an order, the agent creates an FBA shipment request for those units from your existing FBA inventory. Note that MCF rates differ from standard FBA rates. The agent does not process payment or create shipping labels — it submits the fulfillment request to Amazon's MCF system and retrieves the tracking number once the shipment ships.
How does Actionist handle Amazon's throttling limits on the SP-API?
Actionist's scheduled agent tasks are designed to respect Amazon's SP-API rate limits per endpoint. The agent queues requests and introduces the required delays between calls automatically — for example, the Orders endpoint has a rate of 0.0167 requests per second (one request every 60 seconds) for List Orders. For report-based tasks (Sales and Traffic reports), the agent submits a report request, polls for completion, and retrieves the document — following Amazon's recommended pattern without any manual configuration needed.
Can the agent send messages to buyers on Amazon?
Yes, but only within the boundaries of Amazon's Buyer-Seller Messaging policies. Actionist can send permitted proactive messages — such as customisation detail requests, required additional information requests, or courtesy contact for certain order types. The agent cannot send unsolicited marketing messages, review solicitations, or messages that violate Amazon's Communication Guidelines. All messages go through Amazon's messaging system, so they appear in the buyer's Amazon inbox alongside standard order notifications.
What types of Amazon account notifications can Actionist monitor?
Actionist can retrieve account notifications including: policy warnings, listing suppression notices, A-to-Z Guarantee claims, SAFE-T claims, intellectual property complaints, product authenticity notifications, and general performance alerts. The agent classifies each notification type and routes it to the appropriate escalation path — urgent compliance items go to Slack immediately, routine notifications are logged to a tracker. The agent checks notifications on the schedule you configure rather than continuously polling.
How does the FBA inventory age report work and how does Actionist use it?
Amazon's FBA Inventory Age report shows how long each unit has been stored at fulfillment centers, broken into tiers (0-90 days, 91-180 days, 181-270 days, 271-365 days, and over 365 days). Units in the 271-365 day tier are approaching the long-term storage fee threshold, which applies to all units over 365 days on the semi-annual charge date. Actionist's Finance Agent retrieves this report on a schedule, identifies at-risk units, and flags them to the buying team with the estimated fee cost and a recommended action — clearance promotion, removal order, or liquidation — before the fee applies.
Can Actionist update product listing content, not just prices?
Yes. The Submit Listing Feed action lets the agent update listing attributes beyond price — including title, bullet points, product description, and keywords — for one or more SKUs in a single feed submission. This is the same mechanism Amazon sellers use for bulk listing updates via Seller Central's inventory file uploads. The agent can be scheduled to apply seasonal keyword updates, refresh underperforming listing content after a content audit, or push new product listings once they are approved in your product management workflow. Note that some listing changes may require Amazon's review before they appear live on the detail page.
